Natural Consumer

To explore the concept of “natural consumer” I turn to the product that represents “the very substance of the natural world” (Wilk 2006) - drinking water. Narratives on the labels of bottled water inform the study. The research objective is to conceptualize the natural way of living as taught by marketers.
