Overfed and Undernourished!
The modern diet differs drastically
compared to that of our ancestors.
Although we live in an age of availability
and abundance, we choose to ignore
many foods that are good for us.
Processing foods destroys nutrients!

“In the future, we will not be able to rely
anymore on our premise that the
consumption of a varied balanced diet will
provide all the essential trace elements,
because such a diet will be very difficult
to obtain for millions of people.”

Agriculture, 1977 Statement to Congress

Natural Land Cultivated Land
Inhabited by a diversity of plant
species.
Often limited to a single type of crop,
depleting the soil of essential nutrients.
(Modern farmers attempt to counter this
with crop rotation)
Plants grow according to
seasonal and climatic
fluctuations.
Manipulated to accelerate the maturation of
the plant, sometimes, yielding multiple crops
in a single growing season, accelerating
mineral depletion.
Replenished by its own dying
and decaying plant matter.
Harvested, removing all plant matter, leaving
the land barren (today’s organic waste is
either incinerated or buried in a toxic mix of
trash at massive landfills.)

Ever increasing demands on the farm
Pesticides and herbicides reduce the
plant’s ability to absorb and assimilate the
few trace minerals that may be remaining
in the soil.
In Conclusion: When nature gets
cheated, SO DO THE REST OF US!

Re-mineralize farmlands.
Eat locally grown produce from organic
