What I'm reading: Saving the self

From Cristian Lacatus' Saving the Self: Consumerism, Freedom and You:
Saving the Self is a challenging wake up call to the multinational consumer, that offers ways you can reclaim personal choice from politics, religion, and class. An interesting read on the philosophical and practical levels, Lacatus examines community, food, obesity, health, entertainment, education, the environment, sexuality, and spirituality. I was most intrigued by his concepts of eating meat (it is okay as long as you kill it) and death (using it as a tool and not a marketing ploy or nonexistent thing that only happens to others).
Mood: pensive reflective
