    We as humans consume daily. We consume everything from the food on our table, to the stuff we fill our homes with. The things we need are stuffed into our Amazon carts right alongside all the things we don't need.

Rachel lives in Marfa, TX and has had pieces featured multiple publications including the Atlantic and the NY Times. She is the author of a book called Savage Appetites: True Stories of Women, Crime, and Obsession.
