Americans are Eating Too Much and Starving at the Same Time.
The produce that is grown commercially today contains 75% less nutrition than it did in the 1950's (source: Health Canada).
Modern farming methods have resulted in an unexpected paradox. On the one hand, they have supplied us unprecedented abundance. On the other hand, however, those
same methods fill our food with toxins and rob them of nutrients. Then, intense processing, sterilization, and preserving methods render
many of the healthy nutrients and minerals that are left, biologically inactive.
For example, pasteurization of milk kills many microbes that would make us very sick. But it also denatures and even destroys many of the valuable nutrients
that our body needs to survive. The result is that we need to "fortify" the milk to replace the lost nutrients our bodies need.
Long distance transportation, poor crop-breeding practices, and the use of synthetic phosphate fertilizers are all believed to contribute to a severe drop in
vitamins and minerals.
The human species has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years on a diet that has more or less remained unchanged. However, during the last 40 years, the
advent of mass-produced foods and modern food preparation technologies has radically changed what we eat.
At no time in history has food been so readily available and in such great quantities. The great paradox of our time is that never before
has the quality and nutritional value of our food been so greatly diminished.
