This is something big that rarely seems to be discussed. A very quick rundown:
>Many agricultural items (fruits/vegetables/etc.) are watery, bland, and lack flavor >This has serious nutritional implications - flavorless vegetables literally have fewer vitamins than flavorful ones:
>This is due to a number of factors related to modern American agriculture - soil overuse/depletion, early harvesting before ripening to prevent rot in long-term warehouses before sale, the selection/engineering of foods for shape and size rather than taste
As a result, much of the produce sold in the US is close to worthless. Fat pale stalks of celery that taste like water. Huge plump strawberries that might as well be made of sawdust. Hard thick carrots that actually taste BITTER. Why is this not regarded as a national crisis? Why does America tolerate this?
>Why does America tolerate this? We have really good hamburgers
Aaron White
It also has to do with our produce coming from across the world so it is picked before it is actually ripe. They quick ripen it with ethylene gas before we get it. Grow your own garden user. Now is the time to start seedlings indoors. Everything you grow at home will taste better and be more nutritious.
Jordan Rodriguez
Because farmers know how to make their crops look better which is what sells, never mind that when you bite into it there is zero nutritional value, they already took your money.
The only solution is to grow your own food.
Jose Thomas
>Why does America tolerate this? Because they don't have a choice. Economically, educationally, culturally, they don't have a choice. The rich can buy better produce, the intelligent understand the need to, the outsiders buy from outside the established system or grow their own. The common people can't afford better food, they are too stupid to understand the need to, they are conditioned to buy their food from the giant supermarkets that sell this shit.

When plants are grown correctly, together. They strengthen each other and improve the soil. You can have bountiful harvests in your back yard with minimal effort. Even fresh herbs for cooking can be easily grown on a window sill.
>watery, bland, and lack flavor Nigga, you mean vegetables?

Yeah, bullshit. They're only pushing these articles to give an explanation as to why vegan diets are failing: it must be the soil depletion, goy! The plants are the same as they've always been: shit for humans.
Eat meat, drink water.

should we tax agricultural water usage to fuck with California more? t. Texan on Gulf Coast
Cameron Lee
Produce at a farmers market isn't that much more. Ghetto niggers just don't give a fuck and yuppies want organic stamped on everything
Nathaniel Anderson
It's actually not as bullshit as you think. Same thing is seen in livestock.
Heritage breeds were bred for tons of weird shit, including tasting good. So, instead of getting dank ass cows that have great fat marbling, we're getting cows that mature in the quickest possible time to the greatest weight.
Julian Long
There's an organic section if you care about these things. Daily vitamin has existed for decades.
The main reason agriculture is facing soil depletion and nutrition loss is because of KOSHER FOOD. Jewish food standards are destroying the ecosystem.

Um, it's commonly known agriculture has declined since industrial farming took hold and quota out weighed quality farming methods.
Not only that but you have to ask yourself why Agriculture is so in bed with the Military Industrial Complex...

Cannabis as a Solution to Regenerate and Clean Contaminated Soil
Did you know that the roots of the cannabis plant absorb contaminating metals and transform them into harmless substances, without this affecting its growth? Italian farmers in the area of Taranto recently used industrial hemp to breathe life back into lands poisoned by one of Europe's most important steel mills. Before this low-THC cannabis strains were planted near Chernobyl to counteract the radioactive material in soils there.
Nolan Martinez
>ammonium nitrate can propel jets how does that work?
Parker Long
t is becoming increasingly clear that cannabis boasts very beneficial health-related properties. And it not only helps people, but is also a valuable resource to restore contaminated lands. This fact is being demonstrated by farmers in the fields of Taranto, in the Italian region of Apulia. After seeing how a toxin present in their pastures ended up killing off their sheep, they decided to use hemp to repair the lands they were farming.

Michael Edwards
Meat is only as good as what it is fed.
They are also fed a diet of crap. Mostly corn and s o y. I encourage all anons to go out and hunt. Deer is tastey and healthy. Tags are plentiful and cheap.
There aren't kosher standards on produce dingus. It's because tools can be made specialized for harvesting each crop. Mono cropping is the result of machinery. The only way to fix it is to down scale farming. Which means paying more or backyard gardening.
Pull the produce out with the roots. How is this so hard? I have an OAk lettuce in my fridge right now, which is still fresh after 2 days because it has roots and soil still attached.

Matthew Walker
OP you are absolutely correct. Avoid restaurants, avoid grocery stores, make friends with farmers, be real kind and generous with butchers and ranchers. You'll eat well, you'll avoid the grocery jew, and even if it's more expensive, you'll be supporting your local businesses before some corporate mongrel jumps into the supply chain.
Evan Murphy
The problem is inevitably someone will eat rotten or unwashed produce and get sick or deathly ill from it causing the government to step in and regulate it into oblivion. This was their excuse to impose (((pasteurization))) in dairy products, just to help a few shitskins who can't digest lactose anyway.

I learned the unfortunate truth that most food in the US is borderline toxic. Buy local and for fucks sake make sure the guy your buying from doesnt use shit like raid-on and other pesticides. That's one of the few things causing the drain in soil quality. US citizens are the world's food guinea pigs, dont forget that. It's your responsibility to ensure you and your family avoid big brand foods.

I wonder if it could help the xylella problem in italy and southern Europe
Cooper Ward
Wild/heirloom celery has smaller, greener stalks than the industrially-grown varieties, the stalks tend to be more "irregular" in shape, and the taste is sharper and more herbal, kind of like biting into an overgrown sprig of parsley. It's pretty good.
I thought Theresa Mays husband had huge investment in Hemp in the UK
Don't people know about that?
/sniggers/
Michael Richardson
Cannabis is just as taxing to the soil as corn. It's only benefit is its ability to take up heavy metals. Plants need to be grown together in order to not deplete nutrients.
Pulling the roots up to harvest destroys the root web and rhizosphere. The soil needs to be left be for it to regenerate. If the soil is kept healthy additional nutrients aren't needed.
Good on you user. Take the hunt pill. You can support the preservation of your public lands while filling your freezer.

Don't forget antibiotics. Every stock animal is full of them, and that's why we starting to see all those antibiotic-resistant diseases.

The great potential of using blue-green algae Spirulina platensis as a matrix for the production of selenium- and iodine-containing pharmaceuticals is shown experimentally. The background levels of 31 major, minor and trace elements (Na, Mg, Al, Cl, K, Ca, Sc, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni (using -reaction), As, Br, Zn, Rb, Mo, Ag, Sb, I, Ba, Sm, Tb, Tm, Hf, Ta, W, Au, Hg, Th) in Spirulina platensis biomass were determined by means of epithermal neutron activation analysis. The dependence of selenium and iodine accumulation in spirulina biomass on a nutrient medium loding of the above elements was characterised. To demonstrate the possibilities of determining toxic element intake by spirulina biomass, mercury was selected. The technological parameters for production of iodinated treatment-and-prophylactic pills are developed.

Everyone concerned about poor farmers who can't afford to pay Americans to harvest shitcrops, thus justifying illegals, this is the problem. Aquaponics, on the other hand, raises fish and veg in a small area, requires very little labor, can be run in a closed loop to prevent contamination in both directions. Progressives are preventing progress, as usual.
Zachary Mitchell
He does. Her keeping it illegal for the plebs drives up the price of his product
You do know the majority of obese Americans are niggers and spics right? Your fatass country can't even blame your obesity problem on the minorities you import
Dominic Collins
We have the same problem. Gladly, there are at least 2 trustworthy organic certification standards in Germany:
The ordinary and widespread 'BIO' label is jackshit compared to their standards. Funny side note: when you study the 'alternative' food scene (as above), you find an overproportional amount of Jewish people in it. They KNOW that a nonhazardous, balanced and rich / substancial food supply is essential for long-term health.
Have you seen the elderly olive farmers crying because they've been ordered to destroy healthy trees 'just in case'. Heart breaking. I dread to think of the state of the economies of the eu countries that export olive oil after this has taken its toll If Germany is teetering on recession and southern Europe has such a high unemployment rate. Could this xylella be the tipping point If it affects citrus too were fucked

Sometimes I wonder how over it is too. Climate change is a giant meme, but beyond that you have epidemic levels of pollution in the form of pesticides, industrial runoff, and plastics.

I'm not saying they aren't but they are a part of the same ghetto culture as the niggers.
