Right to repair!
France also has a law where consumer products must display the expected number of years that product will last, to combat planned obsolescence.
Both these things are fantastic ideas that I wish more countries would adopt. This helps protect the consumer and ensure an honest marketplace where people aren't being tricked by misleading products, as well as reducing waste.

Agreed!
I also know that somewhere there are clear concise red/yellow/green traffic light health labels on food too. I'd love to see those applied in Canada and the USA, but they depend on most of us not bothering to read the complex tiny labels and remaining unhealthy and perpetually dependent on the "health"care systems.

That’s what the nutrition label is for.

My point is that the nutrition label should be clear and simple first for the masses and visually impaired, and of course, also include the details for those who want to know. Canada and the US don't bother making it simple. It's clear corporations don't want us healthy.
Only in the last 2 years have I started having a problem reading small text. I recently just turned 50. I can't believe I'm even 40. I don't think about it much, so when the number comes up it seems very unfamiliar. In my mind I'm still a sexy 35 year old, but now wiser.
