Food Fit for a...? Factory??

Ok, my FIT FRIENDS, I'm usually quite the positive one, but this evening I have a bit of a gripe...so sit yourself down!

 As the child of a wholesale produce distributor, I grew up not with Mom buying fruits and vegetables at the store, but with Dad bringing home lugs of produce direct from the farms. It was FRESH, WHOLESOME, and, best of all, IT TASTED GOOD! And I don't mean good like that term is used today, but I mean REALLY, REALLY GOOD! A Tomato tasted like a Tomato, not like some mealy cardboard that could, perhaps, in fact be a pear if you ate it blindfolded. If it weren't for texture, I'm not sure I could distinguish one food type for another today half the time. And what's with that big white thing in the middle of the ginormous strawberries that may be big and red and last forever on the shelf, but leave your taste buds questioning if you've developed a sinus infection because there's NO fragrance at all, so no wonder there's no taste!! WHY IS THIS? Kids today don't even know what good food is. Not their fault! They haven't tried it! And why, pray tell? GMOs!

Yes, friends, you no longer eat the fresh, unadulterated gifts of the universe and its maker. Nope. Instead, we dine daily on the science experiments of sterile factories trying with all their might to maximize profits with increased shelf life and fattened up cattle that produce more milk than they were ever intended to.

So, what's the repercussions for us consumers?

Are we healthier for it all? Do we enjoy our food more? Let's just say, this stuff can't be good for you! And it doesn't taste all that great either!

Have we improved on Mother Nature? HARDLY! .... Being fit means being your best, inside and out. I can't see where these lab-created versions of food "fit" into the picture. My mother's been crying foul on this for years..to her credit. But I revisited the info, thanks to my good friend, Waltzing Mathilda.

So, Mathilda, whenever you're ready, the train for Oregon is at the station...Either that, or we could try breaking out the time warp machine...

POWER QUOTE of the DAY:

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.
