Healthy consumerism




With my consumption journal I organized my findings with a pretty obvious chart looking at whether what I was using was essential for my everyday life or just something I use only occasionally. I decided though to focus on a more human aspect and how my activity and consumption during the day related to my health. I basically decided to categorize each thing as either being a health conscious consumption or not, and I was surprised to find that a lot of my activity is not based on improving my health. I always thought that health was a very important aspect of my day to day life, and to see the facts in a chart stating any differently was unnerving to say the least. Im not sure though if this categorization really works when it comes to any kind of comparison between another persons health chart, because everyone has their own definition of what is healthy. I still think it would be interesting to see what people come up with.
