I disagree because we, the individual consumer, are the ones who buys, therefore we may have the power to make this to change to some extent, and I see what you do as an example of that. If people would buy more from local producers it's expected for the Big Box retailers to see their revenues drop. At that point they'll need to make a change.

This may be another key issue. Do we really need to buy a whole bag of apples, just because we see it as a bargain, even if we end up throwing half of it away?
