Every single person in the supply chain has a lever they can pull to change price, except the end consumer

Not at the bottom of the supply chain. As a farmer, we get told what the price is. Our only lever is to opt out of selling if we don't like the price. Which is ultimately the same as the consumer opting out of buying.

You can usually change what you buy.

That’s actually the opposite. The consumer is the one dictating prices and preferences.
