    Consumer awareness of the drugs given to cattle that is passed on to humans - growth hormones that cause obesity, antibiotics that cause antibiotic resistant bacteria, and sex hormones that cause the cattle, and people, to mature faster.

    Consumer awareness of how patties are actually made for fast food restaurants. It's a machine called an extruder that crushes all the garbage meat and pushes it through a big seive to make the patties. That means you're are getting meat that is close to the bone which is where the prions are located which cause mad cow disease.

    Consumer awareness that high fructose corn syrup is made from corn, modified, and that the human body doesn't recognize it as a sugar so the brain doesn't signal the body to stop eating. Almost ALL process foods contain high fructose corn syrup because the corn growers pay lobbyist in Washington huge amounts of money to payoff our legislators to enact laws to allow it along with ethanol gas which shortens a car engines life the same as high fructose corn syrup has the potential to shorten human life.

    Consumer awareness that 1 in 150 babies born in the US now have autism which is an epidemic. The cause is mercury used as a preservative in liquid pharmeceauticals such as are given for vaccines. The pharmeceautical companies continue to use mercury. Why is this allowed?

    consumer awareness for India ->

    1. when nokia introduced 2300 in market (and some other models as well), it had many defects (defect is a condition in which a particular feature is not working in the manner it is expected. e.g. phone has radio fm feature, but you cant hear radio fm on the phone.) and yet it was sold in Indian market and people were not given replacements.

    2. When Indians use the internet, the method used to calculate volumes of data travelled to the computer varies and there is no guarantee that it is correct.

    3. When you use a cell phone, you do not get a bill giving you details of the calls you made. (in fact many companies also charge for this kind of billing calling it itemised billing.)

    4. When you travel in an autorickshaw in Mumbai, there are very high chances that the fare meter in the auto-rickshaw is running anywhere between 10 to 50 % more than its calibration.

    and many more such examples.

    You can put these down and call them LACK of consumer awareness.

    consumer awareness is a company informing their consumers of things they need to know. A pretty easy project might be educating beef eaters on possible food borne illnesses that come from improperly prepared and handled beef. You must then let them know how to cook and handle beef products.
