Food These Days
I wanted to pass on an article I read in the New York Times on Breeding the Nutrition out of our Food. It’s a little discouraging, but it’s something we should all know… So give it a read.
For a little teaser, have a look at their infographic below (click on it for the source URL of the graphic, the article is here).
On an up note, our CSA (community supported agriculture) Plan B Organic Farms grows some of the old breeds, like purple carrots and purple potatoes, and often include arugula and other dark green leafies, which is encouraging.

Reblogged this on Low-carb kitchen adventures and commented:
A post from my green blog, but I thought it was pertinent here, too, what with all the modern food being much higher in sugar than its ancestors.
