But the grocery stores will never go along with it. How would they be able to move all the items to different aisles? By moving things around, they get the consumer to look at more aisles and see different products. Items that probably weren't on their shopping list. It's a win for the grocer because the consumer spends more money. The color coding would defeat their purpose.

The items stay where they are. Let's pretend you are looking at rice and pick up a box of rice a roni in the rice section of the store.
The box has a cyan stripe and silver stripe. You would know it was caffeine free and had no sugar. The other stripes are missing so this item has gluten,salt,wheat,msg.

My son would only look for items that have a green stripe.
the legend or rules,,,if it has a:
green stripe----no gluten
silver stripe----no sugar
cyan stripe-----no caffeine
sunny yellow---no salt
white-----------no wheat
matalic blue---no msg
I think the store might sell more to my son because he has more money than time. So I could see him trying lot's of products with green stripes.
