I guess I belong to the "stupid consumer" category actually. I buy food without doing much research, I go for the brands I trust. I buy gas from a station close-by (it's not worth it to go across town for the cheapest station). I buy clothes because they look nice without doing exhaustive research of their material or production method. I have brands that I trust from experience. And buy paying more for these brands, I save on piece of mind.


So, besides hardware, how do you spend your day "researching" the things that you buy? Must be a full time job I suppose!
You can label yourself how you see fit, if thats how you feel is not for me to decide.

You're making a bunch of irrational assumptions on what I actually wrote.

If you actually go back and spend a little more time reading what I wrote and cool your top a little what I wrote about food it was in regards to exp dates such as say milk and breads, as far as reading the package to make sure it isn't expired or expiring before you can have a chance to consume it not what its made of or how its processed.

Gas stations are everywhere and odds are you will hit many on your journey to your destination, you're free to spend your money at whichever you want but thats no excuse for being wasteful if there is a cheaper gas station on the way than the first one you come to on the corner.

Do you spend your days ranting about how brainless you seem to feel the rest of civilization may be and how everybody needs to have a special friend looking over their shoulder to help them make a wise decision in the big bad evil world???

You surely can make your own decisions based on what you know why don't you give the rest of the world a little credit that they can be as bright as you and get through the smoke and mirrors of life just the same.

I'm not your do boy to answer your questions for things you can google yourself.

As the saying goes, give a man a fish he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime.

Go get fishing and answer your own questions....
