The Information Diet is a book for the modern man (and woman). Through television, movies, newspapers, magazines, Websites, apps, ads, Twitter, Facebook, RSS, and email (to name a few) we are barraged and inundated with continual information. Clay Johnson's book is aimed to help us consume content better. Though I personally am not a fan of the phrase "consume content", it's likely for the exact reason Johnson wrote this book — so that we can learn to have a healthy diet of news, learning, communication, and entertainment.
