Ah yes... health discussion. As I sit here and sip my RC Cola...
- Food quantities have shrunk. Many videos on YT demonstrating that fact. The prices have not shrunk unfortunately. Is it Michelle "I need organic arugula ASAP!" Obama's fault? I have no idea. Could be. Look what Lady Bird did to junk yards.
- Fat kids. Lack of activity does not help. I would bet all the chemicals they add to food is just as much to blame.
- Chemicals in agriculture. Awesome subject! Many herbicides and insecticides do not disappear. They end up all over the place. Cattle in a feedlot get feed from somewhere that uses a chemical on their hay/ alfalfa/ etc. Even though those cattle never touched foot where the chemical was used, they are now eating it. You eat the cattle. Guess where some of those chemicals are now?
***Bonus rambling that has little to do with the OP.
Where I live, the soil is not great for growing things in a garden. It's all clay. So I keep a manure pile (horse/cattle/goat/etc.) and mix it with sand. After a year or so in the elements, it makes a better soil than the clay and that's what goes in the garden. Every once in a while, I notice a portion of the garden does not thrive. In fact, plants there die. At first I chalked it up to bad stock/seeds or poor weather. But the more I experimented, I concluded it had to be the soil. After all the work I put into it, how could it possibly be bad soil? Then it dawned on me. I get the manure (and sand for that matter) from different sources. I have no idea what those critters are getting supplemented with or where it comes from. I just saw fresh poop and figured I was G2G. Nope. I guess I would need to have my own stock and know what they get fed to be sure.
