Within the marketplace, food has even been repackaged as a “want” as opposed to a fundamental human need, thereby disregarding human dignity further, as described by O’Boyle: Setting aside need and focusing instead on wants allows mainstream economists to side step the intellectual biases regarding the use of value-laden concepts such as need, to cast consumer behavior in a value-free analytical mold and to represent economics as an exact, value-free science.
