REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Whole Food LifestyleMichael Pollan states that “it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor.” What are your thoughts on this assertion?
Alicia Velazquez 11/01/2018 3:32 PMI think that is not the right thing to do, since the doctor is the specialist and instead, another person can cause you more damage.
