question 9 is sneakily written....it's like what the Bush campaign did to foil the McCain campaign in the primaries - they had phone people ask "If you knew that McCain [insert horrendous deed here], would you vote for him tomorrow?" Even though he had never done that, they now believed that he had done it. So eh....ARE there scientific studies pointing to possible health drawbacks?

Question 11 - would it change my diet in any way? I don't think you take into consideration people whose diets already are devoid of these things, considering how the previous questions were structured. In my case, I don't give a fuck what's in the stuff I buy, but I don't buy my own food, my parents buy the food. I eat the stuff they buy, they do care about what's in it, and my diet has an abnormally low presence of added chemicals and such. However, based on the previous questions, it would seem as though I don't care about what's in the food I buy, and I wouldn't change my diet if I knew certain chemicals that were in some foods were indeed bad for your health....which is true, but implies that I'm either a dumbass, or just don't care about my health. It's not that I don't care, it's that I don't have to care about my nutritional health.

So you should change the questions to ask about the food bought by the primary buyer in the household (that you also consume).

Question 14 carries the implication that the ingredients in question 13 are all different names for the same thing, when in fact they aren't.

And I can't truthfully complete the survey because you don't have a "none-of-the-above" option on question number 6, but the script is written to ensure that at least one of those boxes is marked. I'm not going to say that I eat one of those kinds of foods regularly, because I don't. I rarely do. So no data from me.
