Imagine eating fruits and vegetables that look perfect but have almost none of the nutrients that once gave us strength and health! Yes, you read that right. Our food today is like an empty shell, and the culprits are hyperproduction and the greed of the food industry. While everyone swears by healthy eating, the nutritional content of fruits and vegetables has drastically declined. Dr. Dijana Kovač, an expert in biotechnical sciences, reveals that the nutritional value of agricultural products has globally dropped, yet we still consume the same amounts but with less benefit to our bodies.
Fruits and Vegetables – A Pretty Facade with No Substance
Today, fruits and vegetables are produced to look perfect, be large in size, and last long on shelves. But what about what used to be the most important – the nutrients? They have drastically fallen. For example, just because something won’t poison you immediately doesn’t mean it’s healthy. Our fruits and vegetables are often just empty forms without real vitamins and minerals.
Domestic vs. Imported – Who’s Really Better?
Dijana Kovač points out that buying domestic products is much safer because they are under constant quality control. Imported goods are tested on a small sample, say one truck out of ten, so we never really know what we’re buying. Domestic producers are under constant supervision, meaning their food is safer and of better quality. But does that mean it’s nutritionally richer? Unfortunately, even domestic fruits and vegetables aren’t immune to the drop in nutritional value because the problem is global.
Hyperproduction – The Greed for Profit is Destroying Our Food
The food industry is in a race to produce as much as possible and make products look as nice as possible. This means various tricks and technologies are used to make fruits and vegetables bigger, prettier, and longer-lasting, but the nutritional content is sacrificed. In the end, we get food that is visually appealing but nutritionally poor. It’s like buying a car that looks like a race car but has no engine.
What Does This Mean for Us?
If we eat food with reduced nutritional value, our bodies don’t get the necessary vitamins and minerals. This can lead to weaker immunity, fatigue, and even more serious health problems. All this while we are bombarded with healthy eating advice on social media, where everyone has their own opinions and recommendations.
How to Fight This Food from Hell?
First, be aware of the problem. Don’t blindly trust everything you see on shelves or online. Buy domestic products whenever you can and choose those that are minimally processed. Educate yourself about seasonal fruits and vegetables because they have a better chance of being nutritionally richer. And remember – not everything that looks good and shiny is healthy!
Conclusion
Our food today is a victim of industrial greed and global hyperproduction trends. While everyone tries to look healthy, they become nutritionally poor. If you want your body to really get what it needs, you have to be a smarter consumer. And maybe it’s time to ask – are we being lied to about healthy eating?
Now, while you think about what you ate today, take a look at your fruits and vegetables. Do they seem like just a pretty facade? If you have your own tricks on how to spot real food, share them in the comments – maybe we can save each other from this nutritional disaster!
