In order for humans to sustain life we must eat.The real reason for eating is not
taste.The real reason humans eat is for nutrition.Let me rephrase the previous statement differently.Good quality foods give nutrition to humans.
If food looks good and taste good but has no nutritional value than it is not worth eating.
The end result could be empty calories and poor health.
In order to know if you are getting good quality food you MUST investigate the ingredients. I'm not just talking about packaged foods and meat.Packages has labels to read. Fresh vegetables doesn't come with labels.Fresh vegetables has problems which needs investigation.
Investigating fresh vegetables should starts with the seed.Yes,I said the seed.I began questioning the seed process,when I saw a rose colored Lima bean seed purchased from a hardware store.The explanation given was,"Just a chemical placed on the bean to deter disease to the crop." I began to wonder, what is the chemical and once the bean grows how will the chemical effect the quality of the bean.Digging deeper in the matter,I found out the pesticides on the seeds are toxic,not just to humans but bees,and some birds that eat seeds.The pesticides are absorbed in the plant, Once grown, the pesticide is in the plant produce,the pesticide cant be washed or rinsed off.
