I look at the recent surge in places like Whole Foods and Trader Joes, and the increased availability of organic products at my local mega-grocer, and the increase of more healthy vegetable-based prepared foods, and I say "yes, the consumer has the power!" But only where there is a mass trend.
Although I have noticed that when I started buying Purina Naturals cat food at my local store, I could only find one or two bags on the shelf at a time. Now that I buy it regularly, I consistently find five or six bags on the shelf. When I go to a grocery store elsewhere and look for it, I can't find it.
So I sometimes wonder if I am single-handedly responsible for my grocer increasing his order and thus raising local awareness and therefore demand for the product.
Wishful thinking, perhaps, but then again, these types of things happen a bit too often to be sheer coincidence ....
We have the power...
