This is true. Look at the fashion industry...we are TOLD what we are supposed to demand. It's hard to weed through all the advertising and such.

One strength of capitalism is that you get to vote everyday with your dollar. Today I went to my local grocery store, paid more, but I voted for them over a larger corporation down the road. If everyone did this, imagine how the consumers would push the larger corporation to change practices.
