But I guess consumers are free to make purchasing decisions based on values/politics and companies are certainly going to be cautious of what associations they make.
So true, the vast majority don't give a monkey's and will go for the cheapest and readiest available. Marketing people have to earn a living though, and will produce charts, data, and analysis to show what they want to push.

example: 70% of people asked would never buy a product tested on animals . . . in the small writing below that 'in a survey of 10 people'
