Declining Food Values

[Neil Brosnahan]

Mother Jones has a photo-essay showing supermarket vegetables and fruits that have had a significant decline in nutritional value since the 1950’s.  Values shown are negative values from those of the 50’s baseline.  The article may be seen at the following website:

Home gardens and cooperative community gardens are ways to increase the nutritional value of food we eat.  You can make a difference!  SUPPORT FOOD GARDEN PROJECTS IN YOUR COMMUNITY!!!

 

Growing food is FUN,
