Disconnection?

I have just found within Peter jackson's article 'consumption and identity' a reference to Daniel Miller, he brings forward to concept of disconnection within consumption which I think could be included in my essay? He uses the example of milk, people have been disconnected from where milk actually comes from, with the response if it coming from the supermarket. We have slowly been conditioned by commodities and their easy access to make us forget the reality of it all in terms of where they actually come from. This is something that can be seen more in children than an older generation, as many of them have never seen where things such as milk come from. Maybe this is something that I can explore, how age is a factor within reality.
