摘要

人们经常建议,如果我们想要改变食品系统,我们就用我们的钱来投票。花一美元是对我们买的东西投赞成票,不花一美元是对我们不买的东西投反对票。消费者被引导相信,目前的食品体系之所以存在,只是因为他们用自己的钱投了票。他们被告知要抵制与他们的社会或道德价值观不一致的食品、农业综合企业和生产系统。那些拥有可自由支配的美元的人应该用他们的美元投票。食品生产商会对影响他们底线的事情做出反应。然而,消费者没有,也不会通过简单地用美元投票来获得他们需要甚至想要的食物。经济理论的“看不见的手”在今天的农业食品经济中并不奏效(Majaski, 2023)。目前的工业食品体系没有能力将消费者的食品购买转化为生产者提供消费者需要或更喜欢的食品的动力. . . .

THE ECONOMIC PAMPHLETEER: Voting with your food dollars is not enough!
It is often suggested that we vote with our dollars if we want to change the food system. A dollar spent is a vote for whatever we buy and a dollar not spent is a vote against whatever we don’t buy. Consumers are led to believe that the current food system exists only because they have voted for it with their dollars. They are told to boycott foods, agribusinesses, and production systems that don’t align with their social or ethical values. Those who have discretionary dollars to spend should vote with their dollars. Food producers respond to things that affect their bottom line. However, consumers haven’t gotten, and won’t get, the foods they need, or even want, by simply voting with their dollars. The “invisible hand” of economic theory just doesn’t work very well in today’s agri-food economy (Majaski, 2023). The current industrial food system doesn’t have the capacity to translate consumers’ food purchases into incentives for producers to provide the foods that consumers need or would even prefer. . . .
