Depletion of Minerals, and general degradation of Food

[Labarum]

Just listening to a BBC Radio 4 Programm covering this:

In the past 50 years vegetables on sale in the UK have lost 24% of their magnesium, 27% of their iron and 46% of their calcium

Beef has fewer of the omega-3 fats that once made it a healthy food

Milk from cows kept in sheds is depleted of vitamins and the cancer-fighting CLA that helped to make this a fitness food

It is time to stop the rot! The campaign for real food begins with us . . .

I buy as much food as possible from local gowers ..who are more than happy to tell you what the composition of the soil is and what they feed the animals to me that is really real living food...can you do that their buy directly from farmers? or growers ..like farmers markets?

I'm kind of excited whenever I read about the genetically modified foods that have EXTRA vitamins and work as innoculations or what have you. I want my produce working overtime for me!
