but one should not have to read fine print to know what one is buying.

I agree with this - and it definitely can be a problem.

I do the vast majority of our shopping. For me, the issue is kind of the opposite of the OP's... I'm trying to buy non-dairy stuff for my wife, but the products frequently obfuscate what exactly they are!

And probably because I rarely eat it I did not even know non-dairy yoghurt was a thing.

My wife has various issues with most dairy (except for some cheeses) - so she only eats non-dairy fake yogurt and uses oat "milk" on her cereal. She prefers the coconut-based yogurt substitutes though, as opposed to cashew, almond, or soy based versions.

- "We see $COMPANY's culture as an important strength and have no desire to change it"
- "We want to assure its customers that $COMPANY will continue to be managed independently"

Do they honestly think anyone believes it anymore?
