I'm surprised there was no mention of smartphones and bar codes. The cheapest solution to all the problems with food would be to require all manufacturers to outline the bar code, so a blind person could easily find and scan it with a smartphone. Online bar code databases already exist, that contain cooking instructions, nutritional info, etc. They're not as up-to-date as they could be. But requiring manufacturers to keep bar code info up-to-date would be an advantage for everyone, not just the blind. Unfortunately, Braille is so large that all of the information I want couldn't be included on the package, even if you covered the entire back in Braille. But if I could scan a bar code and get everything from best before date to serving size on my phone, that would be nice. Unfortunately, today, the bar codes are too difficult to find, too slow to scan, and the information in the bar code database is often incomplete. But fixing these problems would be much cheaper than redesigning every package ever.
