I'm a believer in the maxim: Pay the farmer now, or the doctor later. It really does sum up the importance of nutrition through good quality food, which for me (whenever possible) means fresh, organic and in season.

The definition of the word nutrition is 'the process by which living things receive the food necessary for them to grow and be healthy' and originates from from late Latin nutritio(n-), from nutrire 'feed, nourish'. It therefore stands to reason that anything we consume should be nourishing and for the purpose of health.

Pay the farmer now, or the doctor later.
