Information, if viewed from the point of view of food, is never a production issue. … It's a consumption issue, and we have to start thinking about how we create diets [and] exercise.

Rangaswami frames “information” as something abundant—like food in a modern economy—arguing that the central challenge is not producing more of it but consuming it well. The metaphor shifts responsibility from publishers, platforms, and data pipelines to the habits and environments of readers and organizations: what we take in, in what proportions, and with what regular “exercise” (reflection, synthesis, practice). The quote implicitly critiques information overload and the assumption that more content automatically yields better knowledge. It also suggests that healthy information ecosystems require intentional curation, literacy, and routines that balance intake with processing, rather than endless acquisition.
