Attaining Health Through Nutrition: Are We Thinking Backwards?
I appreciate the need for supplementation, considering the fact that we live in a world with . . .
- depleted soil producing substandard fruits and vegetables.
- food sources (animals) that are eating food from substandard soil, thus rendering their product less nutrient dense and therefore, substandard.
I also appreciate the fact that finding good food is difficult because we live in a world chock-full of . . .
- food sources that are contaminated with pesticides, fungicides, hormones, antibiotics, heavy metals, etc.
- genetically modified foods.
- food sources that are treated inhumanely.
- {insert any/all socially discussed food disgruntlements here}
In a nutshell, it’s difficult to find high-quality food on our planet — whether it’s because of lack of abundance, or because it’s ‘out of our price range.’
But what if we did have good food available to us? What if we did have ready access to organic, locally grown, high nutrient density produce? What if we did have access to humanely-raised, untainted, healthy animal sources from land and sea. (Hint: If we look hard enough for it, we do! 
)
Would it still make more sense to you to get your protein from a container of powdered, purified, manufactured protein, when that same (dare I say better?) protein can be attained just down the street, provided by a source which delivers ‘as mother nature intended’?
Why are we so quick to disregard food sources as viable when they’ve existed on the planet for eons?
And why are we equally quick to turn around and recommend manufactured food (in supplement form)?
Is that not ironic?
