The statement made by Gary Hirshberg means that consumers do not know the power they possess in influencing the type of products sold in stores.

Although Gladwell’s focus was on people’s psychology, his findings are also true of people’s food choices, dietary practices and eating habits. A comparison of the dietary choices and behaviors of a friend and myself is illustrative of this ...
