Spanish term or phrase: Despreocupados (here)
SPAIN. From a text about consumer preferences. I've been working in another area all day, so I'm not really in the zone for marketing questionnaires yet. This does appear in the proz glossary as "carefree", but I'm not keen on that definition for this marketing context. All suggestions welcome.

"Se realiza el análisis clúster para agrupar a los consumidores según su estilo de vida alimentario. De este modo, se obtienen los siguientes segmentos: i) Despreocupados: es el segmento más grande con un tamaño del 36.8% del total de la muestra (n=276). Se caracteriza por individuos que no valoran la frescura ni la relación calidad/precio de los alimentos, no realizan una compra activa ni vinculan el consumo a un acto social, tienen poca sensibilidad hacia la cocina, priorizan el consumo en el hogar y tienen escaso interés por aspectos relacionados con la nutrición y por productos innovadores;"

Careless


Explanation:
That's how I would define someone who does not care about a number of issues --in this case, related to food/nutrition.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Now researching this translation (yesterday I was working in 2 other areas as well), I came across this in a similar text already published, so your suggestion is now a strong contender. Tx :)
