    Definitely - I couldn't agree more.  I would much rather pay a little extra at the farmer's market to obtain healthier food options than to not eat healthy and suffer health problems.  Not only are health problems costly physically, but financially they can be crushing.  The number of Americans living with a chronic health condition is around...

    It's extremely important to understand where our food comes from.  One of the biggest concerns a society should have is what is happening to their food and water supply.  I definitely feel this information would add to one's quality of life.

    I try not to utilize single-use items, and if I do, I try to use them more than once.  I have been taking my own bags to the store for over a year and no longer feel guilty for throwing the plastic bags away.
