Does food from a "woman owned" company taste better?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33173points) March 30th, 2015

I was opening a package of egg rolls (in preparation for heating them for lunch), and on the food label, there was a small blue icon with the words ‘women owned’, which I assume means that the company is owned and run by a woman (not that women are enslaved by that company).

I suppose that the symbol and words on the label are important to some population that cares. I, for one, would not choose my food based on whether the manufacturer is run by women or men. I personally go for taste and quality.

Does that symbol translate into better tasting food? Why would I care? Do people really base decisions on whether the person who signs the check is male or female?
