Long story short... Bacteria make nutrients in their chemical byproduct interactions with other life in the underground ecosystem. Plants intake these chemical compounds through their roots. A plant's health and profile is determined by the health of the ground from which it emerges. Continuing this trail of common sense old as time, if you constantly exterminate and disrupt the bedrock on-ground and underground communities of bacteria and organisms with such direct relevant impact like insects, rodents and amphibians, you also disrupt the nutrient accumulation and nutritional value of foods. How alarming we have become so apathetic and blinded to this fundamental... Thus public health continues to decline in myriad ways. Perhaps the most effective way a caring consumer can help is to buy organic grown agriculture that prohibits synthetic fertilizer, pesticide, antibiotics, GMOs, irradiation, sewage sludge, etc. Support its growth and increasing commonality with your expenses and communication to your circles and gov reps. If you have the time, seek volunteer opportunities to promote your local food system's health. Those aforementioned inputs aid food web and societal collapse, but the regenerative organic movement aids Life-benefitting transformation like few can. Please consider how you can be the positive change you want to see.

We scientists need to pay attention to soil health too while working on creating plant-based future foods. A very interesting read by National Geographic suggesting the need for food scientists to collaborate with soil and agriculture scientists. #plantbased #foodscience #soilhealth #futurefoods

Did you know that the fruits and vegetables we eat today may be less nutritious than those our grandparents enjoyed? 🌱 The silent erosion of nutrient density in our food is a growing challenge—but one we can address. In my latest blog post, I explore the causes of this decline, its impact on global health, and the innovative solutions that could restore the goodness in our food. Let’s dive into how we can grow a healthier future together. 🍎🌍 https://lnkd.in/gWPz9Deb #SustainableAgriculture #HealthySoilHealthyFood #FutureOfFarming

Grass-fed, grass-finished beef is the gold standard for quality meat! 🥩 Packed with omega-3s for heart health, CLA to support lean muscle, and antioxidants like vitamin E to protect your cells. Plus, it’s rich in B vitamins, zinc, and creatine for energy and muscle power. 🌿 By choosing grass-fed, you’re not just benefiting your body, you're also supporting humane, sustainable farming practices. Still, questioning if grass-fed, grass-finished beef should be your Gold Standard? I have a great article all about this called 'Why I Eat Red Meat (and You Should, Too)!' Check it out and let me know what you think 👉🏼 https://lnkd.in/e5qkQF6y It’s a win-win for your health and the planet! 🌎  PS.

I'll be on the beer and broccoli diet... 🥦 What we eat is met with opinion and emotions. Food holds traditions and personal preference. Anti-Veggie Arguments: 1. You won't get enough protein. 2. Humans are born meat eaters. 3. Plant foods can be more expensive. 4. Avocados consume too much water. 5. Some plant foods have high carbon footprints. Pro-Veggie Arguments: 1. Reduces carbon footprint. 2. Decreases animal suffering. 3. Supports sustainable farming practices. 4. Encourages biodiversity by reducing meat demand. 5. Can be healthier with lower risks of certain diseases. There are many ways to frame an argument. (I do like a data driven one.) We need to view emissions and water as scarce resources and strive for max output. I like this graph. ☺️ P.S. What are the key ingredients in your diet?
