The Information Diet: A Case for Conscious Consumption is a 2012 nonfiction book by Clay A. Johnson about information overload, media literacy, and personal attention. Drawing an extended comparison between food and media, Johnson argues that people can become intellectually unhealthy not merely because information is abundant, but because they repeatedly consume highly processed, emotionally gratifying, and bias-confirming material. The book belongs to the practical media-criticism and productivity genre, though it also examines the political and economic forces that shape news and online content. Its purpose is not simply to tell readers to disconnect. Instead, Johnson advocates conscious consumption: choosing sources deliberately, seeking material close to original evidence, noticing incentives behind media, and protecting time for focused work and creation. Written before the current generative AI era, its diagnosis nevertheless anticipates familiar problems of attention capture, algorithmically reinforced preferences, and compulsive checking. The book frames these issues as habits that can be examined, redesigned, and connected to broader civic consequences.
