However I prefer to get my nutrition advice from a doctor or a certified dietitian and cannot look the other way about the searing emphasize on organic food consumption exclusively. It is true that the biologist were imposed to come with ways to genetically engineer crops to maximize the yield of produce and make barren lands more bountiful. It is also true that this process has changed the genetic make-up of the natural harvest to such an extent that they have become entirely different from their natural counterparts or vary considerably in terms of nutritional value, at the very least.
In an era of heavy industrialization, lands which are available for ploughing are slicing thinner and thinner by the day. Dumping of waste and pollution on our planet is not a helpful practice either and the increased demands to fill the bellies of ever growing human populous with ever rising logistics costs being no a lesser vis-à-vis aspects of the same issue.
The problem persists without any willingness to address this issue in a public setting void of pointing the finger and passing the blame game plate around. The Food industry is content with posing as 'a big cheese' denying the alteration of food altogether and coming off as sheer 'sloppy gravy train' to the consumers who feel violated and cheated for being deceived. Both concerned parties are ignorant of the real issues at the root and therefore cannot be expected to cook-up a productive solution any time soon. Between the organic aficionados, the big-fat law firms at the back of Food suppliers and the social media pot stirrers what we really need is a sensible mediator.
We most certainly can never hope to get anywhere by starting a fruitless war. We as consumers have conclusively accepted to paint entirety of inorganic produce as 'bad egg' without much deliberation. There is an endless list of wild fruits and vegetables which evolved anatomically through natural process when early homo-sapiens decided to plant them on massive scales, thus domesticating them. Facts cannot be dismissed that the nutritional values of organic and their inorganic equivalents have substantial differences and therefore the need to address this 'hot potato' is certainly inordinate.
It is not a hard nut to crack to comprehend that the harvesters need to employ all available methods at their disposal to bring home the bacon for the growing population inevitably. However we as consumers can do better by embracing the reality and invest ourselves into evidence based on fair trials, learning and researching facts about these futuristic substitute goods. As well as considering how to reduce their risk dynamics and make most of their dietetic aptitudes. To put in a nutshell, not only do we need to stop being lied to but also put a stop to deceiving ourselves with preconceived ideas after all “We are what we eat”!
