There's a really interesting part in the documentary "Food Inc." Where they're talking about big industrial food processing places destroying quality, etc.
At one point he interviews Walmart's head of milk ordering (whatever it's called).. and the person has some really interesting insight. Customers didn't want to buy milk from cows that had whatever hormone... and it became such a big deal that Walmart saw sales of that type of milk plummet, so they stopped buying and selling all milk with that hormone.
They now don't stock or sell any. Period.
So in fact, when people vote with their dollars companies as big as Walmart do actually notice, and they do make changes for the better.
