    Michael Pollan states that "it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor." What are your thoughts on this?

    I have, over the course of time, adopted the philosophy that I would rather spend a little more up front to take care of myself.

    I can always tell that my body is happy when I'm avoiding the refined sugar because my skin clears up pretty quickly - what's wonderful is that I can still enjoy sweet in the form of honey and fruit. :) I have to much of a sweet tooth to go without all things sweet.

    Couldn't make it to yoga today but DID manage to sneak in a 20 minute meditation session - excited about making this a daily habit!
