Image
As more and more people wanted to eat food that was free of chemicals and unnatural processes, they began growing their own crops without the use of harmful chemicals. Smaller farmers also began to revolt against factory farming and they returned to old school farming methods. Then those farmers were able to offer us the alternative to industrially grown produce. This food began to be called organic because the term implies that everything was produced using only living matter, like plants and animals instead of chemicals. Pretty soon the big guys could see the attraction that was growing in the market place. They began to adopt the labels and slap them onto the same stuff they were already growing. False advertising? Pretending? Just think of all the "green" products you see in the supermarket. So the term, organic, had to be regulated somewhat.

My answer is the same every-time. Eat less (portion size in each setting), eat more often with protein and carbs combined together, and eat higher quality less processed foods. Eating higher quality food on the surface seems easy. No junk food, right. That's not enough anymore we must have more information because the quality of the food we are eating is at an all-time low.

Going back to our natural state such as consuming organic food has now been a test of a person's will and level of economic status. Millions of years ago, men and women lived harmoniously with nature which provided abundant food for them.

Research and development were focused on creating high-yielding varieties (HYVs) and the unnatural method of propagating and producing these varie...
