So on Oprah today they did a special about food. They had Michael Pollen from Food, Inc. on the show. I have already seen food Inc and I think I've already posted about it. But I learned something new today. There is a statistic about the cost of food vs. healthcare costs and the difference between now and 60 years ago. Here it is: 60 years ago we spent 14% of our income on food and only 7% on healthcare. Now we spend 9% on food and 17% on Healthcare. The truth is, we decide who we want to pay. Do we choose our local farmer or do we choose our doctor.
I CHOOSE MY LOCAL FARMER. You can choose for yourself. There are lots of healthy ways to eat. But as Michael Pollen says, "Eat Food. Not Too Much. Mostly Plants"
If you follow that simple rule alone, you will live a healthier life.
