Some people are only satisfied with the best. They must have the best house, the best clothes, the best meals. Anything that isn’t of the highest perceived quality is an affront to them. Some would call these people stuck up or conceited, but I think that the idea of commitment to quality by the consumer is something that we need more of. Essentially, we have been sold a lot of cheap junk, and because it is cheap, we buy it up, and buy things that we normally wouldn’t–then the stuff breaks or doesn’t work all that well and we feel like we have to buy more of it because we have come to be used to having it.
Health products are definitely this way. There is so much cheap garbage out there that we would do well to demand better. We should only buy the best vitamins, the best face creams, the best quality food, the best exercise equipment etc., and if we have to do with less because they cost more so be it. What we do have will be better quality and more satisfying to use. The manufacturers will only give consumers quality if they demand it.
