Analogies gone bad: "Infobesity"

I get Timothy Young's point that we should monitor the quality of information we are consuming, but food and information diets are very different in one important way: You can have too much food, you cannot have too much information.

Some would argue this point. They say information overload; I say organization underload. Or as Clay Shirky puts it, "It's not information overload. It's filter failure."
