As it is often said, pay the farmer now or pay big Pharma later on. In other words, if you don’t spend your hard-earned money on eating good and natural food now, you will spend it on expensive pharmaceutical drugs later.

Yeah, but how many meals will that yield? Plus when it comes to your health, you either pay the farmer (now), or pay the pharma (later).
