Description

This collection of essays shows us how to look deeply into the items we consume every day - not only food, but clothes, media, ideas, and images. Right consumption suggests a reorientation for consumers from passive purchasers, who willingly and uncritically accept advertising messages for toxic products, to active citizens who see the dynamic connection between their purchases and their values.
