That "consumer culture" is what drives our economy and most of the readers' paychecks. If Americans didn't consume, our economy would implode by 60%. The logic you endorse could be applied to discourage use of any products (TV's, PCs, Cell Phones, Handhelds, VCRs, Cars). Unless you intend to meditate on a log in some backwater part of the globe, you really don't have a basis for complaining about the glut of consumer products.
