I agree with you about the nutritional labels. However, getting governments and companies to agree on a new standard is not likely. How about just creating a custom prompt for GPT or Perplexity? Point your camera at the package and it generates a custom nutritional chart just like you want. It could even interface with your nutritional/health system to highlight specific nutrients or generate "goodness" ratings based on your personal profile. Sounds like an app to me. And it could be done in a weekend. :)

That would be a good way to sidestep it. But the effect would still be small compared to if everyone saw this by default.

But I have no idea how to even get started on such a problem.. I just want to put the idea out there and hopefully it's floating around the next time some group of bureaucrats is revising these standards ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
