    Michael 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?

    Yes this is true, I’d rather pay the grocer when I purchase my healthy foods at the grocery store than take many risks and pay the doctor for medicine due to many types of diseases. I try daily to purchase and eat healthy to keep my body energized!
