I recently found out why. Yes our soils are depleted from overgrowing but there’s another factor. In the soil are microscopic bacteria that are necessary for breaking down the minerals in the soil to make them into “organic” matter from the inorganic mineral form they are in naturally. When we spray pesticides on the plants, not only do we kill the bugs that eat the plants – and put it on our foods – but we kill the bacteria in the soil too. SO, what that means is the plants cannot absorb the minerals – as inorganic matter cannot be used by a plant! Yes, that’s right.

To make it even worse – even organic food today has about 40 times LESS nutrients in it than foods of 50 years ago. So we are becoming increasingly obese but undernourished at the same time.

Scary huh? If you buy organic it may be what, 50% more expensive? What if you have to eat 50 bowls of spinach to even come close to what’s in the organic stuff? What if eating the non-organic isn’t much better than eating paper? It’s fiber, almost nothing else.

Sorry to be the bearer of such news – but switch to organic, you’ll actually eat way less food cause it has more in it and your grocery bill won’t be much higher. Honestly.
