Many consumers don't have the time or luxury to know. We're in the "give them bread" phase. We already heavily subsidize many parts of the food chain to keep people happy. Nobody wants to do anything politically that might cause food prices to go up.




That counts as ‘consumers don’t want to know’, considering how obviously grocery stores prices were an issue in the last election.

Assigning a motive where there isn't any is not a great argument.

Pretending there is no motive when there is a plausible one right there isn’t a great argument either.

Yet it's still a better one. It's much more plausible consumers haven't had the exposure and time to form a decision on this than it is to conclude that they don't care.
