Labels have been on my mind this week
The value of labels
The detriment of labels
Labels are everywhere
On soup cans and bread bags
On the tag of clothes
On bright file folders in desk drawers
On bottles and cans
Everywhere
Telling us
what the contents are
how to care for an item
what temperature to use
calorie content
quantity
size
what to watch out for.
legislated facts providing
lots of really good information
for whomever is buying or selling any item
a new shirt
a can of soup
Items can be
bought
consumed
disposed of
Health labels, on the other hand, hold
opinions
myth
emotion
curiousity
judgement
excuses
Researched facts providing
lots of really good information
for health care workers or any person blessed
with certain health conditions in any one of three categories
medical - physical disorders - brain, liver, lungs & other body parts
addiction to alcohol, street or prescription drugs.
psychiatric - mental illness from chemical brain dysfunctions
So how are labels helpful?
"They stick you with those names, those labels - 'rebel' or whatever;
whatever they like to use. Because they need a label; they need a
name. They need something to put the price tag on the back of it."
~ Johnny Depp
