The consumer can play a big part in steering the market. But our inherited brain attributes of small tribes of hunter/ gatherers over the course of half a million years are still ingrained in us and were never programmed to care about the future of more than getting through the next winter or dry season or a few years at the very most. And our reward centers are now hijacked by modern super normal stimuli to hunt for the next big deal instead of for food. Yeast in a modern bottle of grape juice.
