Prompt
Argue that:
Consumers have control over the images that fashion their lives. Consumers take commodities and reshape them to give them their own meaning. Social values drive economic values and choices. We have agency.
If social values did not drive economic values, there would be no organic food movement. People value their bodies, so use of products, however highly publicized, go down as we know the ramifications they have on bodies in the long run. For example, we now know that smoking cigarettes can lead to lung cancer, emphysema, and other lung diseases, yet the opposite was believed sixty years ago. While the effects of consuming GMFs remain debatable/not 100% determined yet, the question of it possibly being terrible for you effects the way populations view nonorganic foods.
