Eating "healthy" or organic may be expensive, but in the long run it might be cheaper because I wont have crazy doctor bills when I'm 60, amirite?

Hmmm...junk food/food that isn't "organic" is okay in moderation, like most other things, so I don't see what the problem is.

But I live in the UK, with free healthcare, so I'll eat all the junk food I want ;D.

fuckin eh, free healthcare! :D no true though, it's better to eat healthier..

How is it free? Does the money materialize out of nowhere? Is no one paying for it?

Well the government pays, I don't pay for my own healthcare though.

And where does the government get the money?

Taxes, so yeah I guess I do pay for it indirectly, but it's the same cost to me whether I use it loads or don't use it at all. Although I suppose if I need a lot of healthcare, the taxes will rise, so you're sort of right..

;) We just have to break it down. Free health care isn't free.

Well, I got told.

but it's sure a lot better then getting sick, not being able to afford operations costs and then dying. Free health care isn't free but it's cheaper and a lot better then paying for health care when we need it. :D

Haha, I was thinking about that when I went away. Yeah it's better because we're going to be prepared to pay taxes throughout our life, instead of getting one huge payment when we get ill.

Yep :( in the documentary SICKO, this one man could only afford to have 1 of his fingers re-attached. He may of been paying lower taxes, but he still couldn't afford his fingers. I'd rather pay higher taxes then risk losing something important like that.
