Re: [APD] The non-aquatic plant issue (Nick Andrews)

["Bill" <billpers at comcast_net>]

Doesn't anybody want to blame the people who buy that stuff without knowing 
what it is and what it needs to survive?  They are the ones who are making 
the market, not Walmart or Pet-whatever.

If people don't buy products that companies want to sell them, the companies 
stop selling them.  To me that is so straightforward.  History is full of 
examples.  Think about the Edsel, the Apple Newton, apples coated with alar, 
and thoisands of other products.

On the other hand, more people are demanding "green" products and are 
willing to pay extra for them.  Notice how the organic foods section of 
supermarkets has grown in the last 5 years?  The growth of the Whole Foods 
markets at the expense of older chains?

Never underestimate the power of the consumer when he or she decides to 
wield it.
