Pretending like consumer demand decided this completely shrugs responsibility of the corporations and people who made these choices.
Consumers will look at what’s available and make decisions accordingly, no amount of shaming consumers will change spending habits, those will only change when their available choices do, through systemic changes.
And I’m saying that people need to consider more than just the sticker price when making choices about nourishment.
We are not slaves to corporations. Wow have the power to not purchase their products. They get away with selling shit product for inflated profit because people don’t care. If you don’t care, then you can’t blame the corporation. That’s just insane to believe a corporation is going to do something on behalf of consumers. They answer only to their stockholders.
Maybe when people stop playing the victim card we’ll see some real change.
Your argument is that 70% of Americans have no choice but to buy the cheapest things possible?
Judging by the success of companies like Amazon, Netflix, Apple, and DoorDash, that seems like an unreasonable argument.
People have more money than they like to admit. They just don’t want to skimp on things they believe to necessities but are actually luxuries. Fresh food is cheaper than processed food. It’s cheaper to buy ingredients to make cheeseburgers than it is to buy them at McDonalds. I buy food from the farmers market because I can’t afford the grocery store. If you’re truly struggling to buy food, you should register for food stamps. Every farmers market I’ve been to accepts them.

When you have to buy the cheapest things possible because that’s all you can afford then that’s not possible.
The 70% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck don’t have that privilege.

Shaming individuals for their finances does not fix wealth inequality.
Only systemic changes fix systemic issues
