Health is Wealth
Pay for it now — or pay more for it later
Last month I shared a story about eggs and the differences between cage-free, free-range, and pasture raised eggs.
Dranéa commented and added this statement at the end of her comment, which sparked the title for this article.
Health is wealth. ✨
Maria Rattray added her own thoughts later:
The only way we can really be assured of quality is to have our own chickens and feed them optimally.
I’m imagining a few cottage industries popping up in the future, since there is really nowhere to go.
We have a fabulous farmers’ market that is ‘policed’, policed in the sense that random checks are done on farms to ensure compliance. Stall holders breaking the rules are given their marching orders on the spot.
Everything is a little on the costly side, but ill-health costs so much more. Of course these days as families struggle to put food on the table, the dichotomy of where and how to spend is such a challenge.
John Whye agrees. On one of my 10 Question answer stories a few months ago, he commented about one of my This or That answers:
Health over wealth anytime. Without health, the money does no good. Ask Steve Jobs
