An informative blog on nutrition, clean eating, mental health and healthy lifestyle choices for men & women. In less than 20 years the overweight population increased drastically, for adults as well as children obesity carries heavy consequences. The problem is so severe that some experts believe obesity will soon beat out smoking - if it hasn’t already as the number one preventable cause of death. I'm here to share my knowledge and resources to help close the gap of obesity in America.

Nature in favor of profit..Are you a victim?
Until the 1940s farmers returned essential nutrients to the soil, mulching, manuring, and crop rotation. These methods have worked successfully to maintain soil quality since agriculture began. But human greed and arrogance convinced commercial intrests that they can use man-made technology to do better than NATURE...AND MAKE BIGGER PROFITS! So began the degradation of the American food supply!
At the end of World War 2, drug conglomerates making nitrates and phosphates for weapons, were left with few buyers for their stock piles of chemicals. THEY HAD TO FIND NEW MARKETS FOR THEIR PRODUCTS! Early experiments had shown that many plants will grow on a mixture of just three minerals; nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K). Armed with this knowledge...WAR CHEMICAL MANUFACTURERS BEGAN SELLING NPK FERTILIZERS TO FARMERS AT ATTRACTIVE PRICES THAT MADE TRADITIONAL SOIL ENRICHMENT UNECONOMIC. BY THE 60s IN ORDER TO COMPETE IN THE FOOD MARKET, ALMOST ALL AMERICAN FARMS HAD BECOME COMPLETELY DEPENDENT UPON NPK PRODUCTS IN ORDER TO MAKE A LIVING!
MIXTURES OF NPK, PROVIDE THREE OF THE MAIN MINERALS ESSENTIAL FOR PLANT HEALTH. THEY GROW FINE-LOOKING CROPS WITH ABUNDANT YIELDS. But your body is not a vegetable. Humans need more than nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. They also need selenium, chromium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, iodine, molybdenum, zinc, cobalt, boron and vanadium. NPK fertilizers, a destructive legacy of weapons of war, do not contain the minerals essential for human health, because they were never designed for human nutrition.
In closing, as each suceeding crop grown on NPK products has depleted the soil of other essential minerals, AND THESE MINERALS ARE NO LONGER REPLACED! Most produce and food animals now grown in America, HAVE BECOME MINERAL DEFICIENT! THAT MAKES US DEFICIENT AS WELL.....BECAUSE OUR BODIES CANNOT MAKE MINERALS....WE HAVE TO GET THEM FROM FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO Organic!
