     The pie chart above illustrates consumers' attitudes towards domestic brands of milk powder: 80.77% of consumers have a deep distrust, 10.9% don't care much either way, 0.64% would continue to buy domestic brands while 7.69% hope that things will improve in the future.
     In recent years, it was found that a domestic brand had melamine in its baby formula. Some milk powder products of another brand contained carcinogens. And some baby formula made in China was being marketed under brand names registered abroad and some brands were claiming their products were imported. The result has been that many consumers have voted with their feet and turned away from domestic brands to foreign brands. This lack of professional ethics in the workplace, while providing short-term financial gain always leads to long-term losses when the public, as inevitably it does, finds out about these fake and inferior products.
     Once a domestic brand loses the confidence of its consumers then it is almost impossible to gain it back. It is far better for domestic brands to concentrate on improving their work ethics which will lead to quality products.

     上面的饼状图说明了消费者对国产奶粉品牌的态度：80.77％的消费者极度不信任；10.9％一般；0.64％继续容忍；7.69％怀抱希望。
     近年来人们发现，某国产品牌的婴儿配方奶中含有三聚氰胺，另一国产品牌的部分奶粉中含有致癌物质。还有一些国产的婴儿配方奶出售时打的是在国外注册的品牌名的旗号，而且有些品牌还声称自己的产品是进口的。结果，许多消费者不再支持和购买国产品牌的奶粉，转向进口奶粉。这种缺乏职业道德的做法虽然会带来短期的经济收益，但往往会导致长期的损失，因为公众必然会识破这些假冒伪劣产品。
     一个国产品牌一旦失去了消费者的信任，就几乎不可能赢回信任了。国产品牌最好把精力放在提高自己的从业道德上，这样才能生产出优质产品。
