Over the years I have occasionally worked with people that have told me they cannot afford to buy high quality, organic food, yet I have noticed that they are driving fancy cars, wearing designer clothing or they are telling me that they just bought a flat-screened TV and home audio system with surround sound for their vacation home. In these cases, clearly
it is not about affordability, but about choice. How frequently does one see BMWs or Mercedes lined up at McDonalds? Perhaps in these cases I have not done an adequate job of explaining why, for example, grass-fed beef is so much healthier than grain-fed, and the real difference that food choice can make over time to pain levels, and disease processes. Perhaps I have not explained that one can't wash off all the pesticides, as the soil has been sprayed too, so the pesticides are taken up by the plant. Maybe with more education, these people will decide to afford healthy food.
