It never hurts to write the maker of a product if you have a complaint. I've usually gotten quick results from this, often including free stuff.
Not everything is about ripping off the customer, however some people will try to tell you that. For all we know, reducing the frosting on a Pop Tart might have been the response to nutrition-minded customers who wanted to see less sugar on the product. Might be worth checking the weight numbers on the old and new packages to see if the Pop Tarts are really "shrunken."
Reading labels is important. I'm a rabid free-marketer, but have no objection to "truth in labeling" laws as long as they don't get ridiculous about the amount of information required. Some packages actually require me to peel open a page to read the entire information sheet.
Without information, consumers can't make proper choices.
