Guest guest Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 For anyone who's seen the documentary... y'know that scene where they do the energy radiating photography on veggies and fruits? It just occurred to me recently... had anyone considered the FRESHNESS of the produce that was taken in the photography?? I suspect that the freshness of the produce has a HUGE impact on whether you see the energy radiating from the produce in the pix or not... and less likely to do with the fact it's organic or not. while i'm a big fan of organic, I only question the slant some of these types of " documentaries " have when putting out a documentary with a hidden agenda. either side has to be watched with a critical eye and not to take things for granted what each side is accurate OR necessarily the full fact under the right context! the recent controversy over whether organic is truly more nutritious than conventional produce got me thinking. just by plain observation.. assuming the seeds of produce are not GMO... shouldn't one be able get a clue the health of a fruit/veggie by the external characteristics - appearance to feel to smell, etc? afterall, how can produce have similar outward characteristics from another if it's " not as healthy " b/c of " fake nutrients " from the process of man-made science? of course, i haven't looked into any research to back this observation... but some independent thinking made me wonder. granted, we CAN measure nutritional content of what we can measure... and apparently, that's what these 160+ science papers did in coming to a consensus that organics have not been shown to be more nutritionally superior to conventional produce. for example, a tomato of the same type... if a conventional tomatoe looks as deep red as an organic... as plump... as .. . " vivacious " and as fragrant (or even more so)... can't we come to a common sense assumption that the conventional tomatos is prolly just as nutritious as the organic tomato? afterall... it's not a GMO seed. just as we are what we eat... and symptoms can manifest from the wrong /malnutritious nutrients or deficient quantities in our bodies...so can it be seen for produce. HOWEVER, that said, independent thinking would lead to believe that a more nutritious soil source (organic) free of contaminants and chemicals and other man-made elements in the soil would produce/sustain a more healthy produce than conventional soil. the article did no take into account pesticides and other toxins... AND our current technology can only track known elements in produce... there's so much more to understand from nature about the intricate details of enzymes, antioxidants, and who knows what other or how many nutrients in produce! btw, just looked up the recent controversy and found it here: http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_18702.cfm -- to your optimal health, wealth, and happiness, Kelvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
