When I was younger and in school, home economics was still a class that you got to learn. They taught you how to do your laundry. They showed you different symbols of green, yellow, and red. Some things meant you were to hang-dry a garment, and so on. To this day I still remember it, and I actually didn't pay much attention in that class. I was more of a tomboy and was interested in other things.
Industry people and others definitely do talk about over-labelling sometimes. When we decided to make sure that language on products was in both French and English, it meant that it would take up a lot of room on a label, but we still do it because it's important. I would say the same if there's something in a product that causes cancer. I would be surprised if anybody could argue why we shouldn't find out about that or why we shouldn't find the space for it and educate people about what it means.
