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?

How does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?

when you practice gratitude it retrains your mind to seek out the positives rather than the negatives in day to day situations, it also helps keep your mind clear and allows you to overcome obstacles you may have let defeat you in the past.
