Oh, yes, economists do put a lot of emphasis on data and they put faith in their predictions and explanations based on that. Consumers making smart, informed decisions is an assumption of such economic beliefs. Other social sciences have realized and accepted you just can't assume and it's better to take steps to proactively inform people. And we also have lobbyists doing their thing to keep consumers misinformated and under informed (its why our nutritional fact labels are in metrics).
It's this informed consumer that's supposed to thwart unethical companies with people not buying from them. But all we see of this anymore is political expressions in the form of protest buying/not buying.

I see things very differently.

How much have you heard about the Forks Over Knives way? There are such healthy benefits with it that I don't see with any other ways, but there is still concerted push of information against it, certainly from those with vested interest in businesses that this way would go contrary to. So very many still do not hear of it, many of those who do already have a negative view of it, to not consider it. Yet this way does not have to be expensive and may help avoid costly medication.

I haven't seen evidence to say a vegan diet is superior. Indeed, most of the Blue Zones eat meat. Not much, but they still eat it. It's probably why it's not more widely circulated.
