We've become a throw-away society. Hole in your sock? Darn it? Not anymore - throw them away and buy a new pair.
I think of my Dad, who firmly believed in buying quality; save up for it if you can't afford it right now - and take very good care of it when you get it. In the end it didn't help him, because he was stuck with gadgets which he'd had for years and finally needed replacement of parts, which were no longer available!
On the other hand, the food I ate didn't contain all the crap it does today. The dishwasher etc I bought is still going 20 years down the line. Sure it was almost twice as expensive, but the cheaper one would've maybe lasted 5 years.
When it comes to stuff you consume, be it food or juice, quality is of paramount importance if you value your health. And your tastebuds.
