Healthy eating should be one of the most beneficial trends around today. All over the world, people are investing their time, energy, and money into eating nutritious food. Ideally, these people will be rewarded for their efforts with improved physical appearances, higher levels of energy, and overall better qualities of life.
Unfortunately, healthy eating is more difficult today than it has ever been before.
Thirty years ago, to eat healthy, all you had to do was buy foods that were recognized as "healthy foods" (fruits, vegetables, etc). Contrary to popular belief, that doesn't work anymore.
The commercial produce you buy today has only 60% of the nutritional value as the same produce did 30 years ago. This dramatic drop in quality is a direct result of the high-yield farming practices used today. The combination of using chemicals to grow food and forcing the land to produce unnaturally high quantities of food is ruining the quality of the food itself.
And this problem is only getting worse. Right now, our food does not contain enough nutrition for us to fully benefit from it. But as quality continues to decline, our food will soon be too poor to meet our basic nutritional needs.
The solution is to eliminate foods grown through high-yield techniques from your diet. And one of the best ways to do that is through urban agriculture. By growing your own food, you can truly experience all the benefits of healthy eating.
And what's the point of eating healthy if you're not going to experience the benefits?
