you don't see the ad and think "wow, that athlete is holding this one brand of cheese, I'm gonna buy it"

you mentally associate those two, and when you go to the supermarket, you see the brand and buy it out of instinct, since that brand gives you a good feeling subconsciously.

or if you ask yourself "I never bought parmesam cheese before, which brand is good? oh I've seen this one before, it must be good"

I get what you’re saying, I’ll try to observe how often I do that

Only purchasing items from companies that don’t try to exploit you is an exercise in insanity

Just start with trying to avoid Nestle, PG and Unilever. If you can master that anything else is easy.
