Post-consumer(ist) would reframe it such that we evaluate it as something existing after transcending consumerism. We may get there, some day.

I’m against calling something that’s basic to human sustenance “consumerist”. We might disagree with peoples choices of food or the source of those foods or whether it’s a small farmer or BigAg.

I remain opposed to calling basic foods (contrasted with luxury foods) part of consumerism. Meats and such have been part of human nutrition for quite some time. Unlike clothing (and other things) you don’t typically buy unnecessary excess for the sake of it or to fulfill some non essential need that’s already been met.

As I admit we can reproach people for unwise choices in food but I can’t consider it consumerism (I would allow some narrow exceptions).
