Hi Carol:

If you are interested in why all food produced today by modern

agriculture is lacking in nutrition, you might read articles by the

soil scientist, Albrecht. He is dead but articles he wrote

for various publications are published in book form titled " The

Albrecht Papers " , volumes I to IV, and are available from Acres,

U.S.A. These various articles describe the movement of agriculture in

the 1930's, 40's, and 50's away from the production of nutrition to

strictly the production of bulk yield at the expense of nutrition.

Tactics include switching crops to those that will produce higher

yields in poorer soil, fertilization programs intended to increase

yield that lower the total nutritional yield per acre, and

development of hybrids created to produce higher yields that produce

these higher yields by requiring less soil fertility because they

produce less nutrition.

Someone needs to tell the children the only thing you won't find in a

grocery store today is nutrition.
