Food labeling

Why is it that the most important information on food packaging (the use by date) is the hardest to find, it's usually small poorly stamped and hidden, god help anyone with less that perfect vision.

I bought part baked rolls, the bloody things are 18 inches long (half a metre) but the date is still in tiny crap print hidden on the end of the package, how monumentally stupid is that, why hide the date? The shops have to be able to read it to rotate stock and the customers need to know if it's still safe to eat, so why make it so dammed hard to see???
