Consumer Camp
The Foundation also sponsors Consumer Camp on the campus of Cornell University during one of the first two weekends in April. This provides a full-day “on-hands” opportunity for people of all ages to learn how to improve what they eat, how much they eat, and how much they enjoy food.

Famous quotes containing the words consumer and/or camp:
“The so-called consumer society and the politics of corporate capitalism have created a second nature of man which ties him libidinally and aggressively to the commodity form. The need for possessing, consuming, handling and constantly renewing the gadgets, devices, instruments, engines, offered to and imposed upon the people, for using these wares even at the danger of one’s own destruction, has become a “biological” need.”
—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
“If all would lead their lives in love like me,
Then bloody swords and armor should not be;
No drum nor trumpet peaceful sleeps should move,
Unless alarm came from the camp of love.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
