How bad our food is now
Discussion
Just been watching a tv program on sky . They were talking about the lack of nutrients our food now a days .They were saying that alot of food grown has lost or reduced vitamins.While are meats are higher in fats .Even chicken we are lead to believe that it is the heathy option which is higher in fat than years ago .Eg ,Our chickens from egg to be eaten is 5 weeks years ago it was 5to 6 months wear they use to build muscle .Even our veg isn,t as nutrius as it use to be and full of chemicals .Don't think organic is an better they are still full of crap. And i mean no wear near as good for you as we think it is .
The lady that was doin the talk .That the lack of these vital vitamins and other nutrients and the higer fats which are addictive in our foods are causing the weight problem now .
Think more people need to watch this to have more understanding about weight problems .And understand that its not all about eating to much its about the crap food we are being suppied these days .
Explains way years ago people eat what we all thought was bad for us . But the quaulty was much better and they where slimmer .
She was saying that beeing malnourished from these important vitamins that isn't in our food now a days is the main reason that peolpe over eat and get over weight .

Certainly the taste of food is different to that of years ago. Tomatoes and courgettes home grown as compared to shop sourced, certainly have more flavour.
I sincerely hope though that you are well fed. It would be a shame for the PH grammar police to turn up for a scoff only to find you as puny and emaciated as 911 is supposedly well built... because they are about to eat you alive. Bon chance.

I grew some cherry tomatoes this year in the conservatory and they were the best tomatoes I have ever had, so sweet and tasty, and nothing artificial at all used to grow them.
Edited to add
Oh and I am still getting tomatoes off them, still got at least 40 ripening on the vine

I wouldn't blame weight problems on food, people choose what they eat and you can still be healthy nowadays. I'd put the blame way more on people being generally more lazy due to modern society, therefore a lack of not being sat on their fat arses and getting outside a bit, all year round. I think some people only bother with the outside for half the year and hibernate the rest.
There is one of those spangly new super greenhouses down my way. You know the type, 3 storeys high, all hydroponics and solar panels. Supposedly they are capable of producing 1 MILLION tomatoes in a week.
What do you think the 1 millionth tomato out of that place on a Friday afternoon tastes like?
You guessed it: f
k all. They have massive white cores and a slightly fizzy flavour because they are so intensively farmed. No fruit or vegetable should be pumped full of synthesised nutrients and farmed that way.
It is not a surprise that our foods are being produced more quickly and higher volume than in, say, the '50s when there were approximately 4 billion fewer mouths to feed. It's a shame, and I love a good tomato, but if you want to feed this many people, the quality of the produce will suffer. Them's the breaks I'm afraid.

Mouth watering or what.

How about cutting the op some slack,it's only general gassing and he is starting a potentially interesting thread. I don't see any of the grammar police adding anything relevent to the thread. So what if the spelling and punctuation is dodgy, the guy is only trying to start a discussion. For what it is worth I will add that I hate bad/sloppy grammar but luckily have never had any difficulty with reading or writing, however I fear my posts would be largely unfathomable if my grammar was as bad as my numeracy, just the luck of the draw I guess.
In conclusion if you find the question interesting then post a sensible reply, if not then ignore it and read one of the other grammatically perfect threads. We can't all be amateur proof readers and the op did not submit the post for a Nobel literacy prize.

There is not even a grain of truth in that. It's cheaper and easier to eat healthily now that at any time in the past, and there is vastly more choice too. Not only that, if you take the trouble to read the label you can see exactly what the food contains whereas in the past, you couldn't.carmonk said:

You remind me of Karl Pilkington.

Mosts foods are now mass produced forced growth to provide consistant size and 'quality' for as cheap as possible.
Is it really any wonder they are losing flavour and nutrition.
A major consideration for growers and retailers is shelf life and travelbilityIs it really any wonder they are losing flavour and nutrition.
, so very often this determines the variety grown.To me it is most noticable in peppers, very thick pithy skins, but of course they are nice and heavy.

The food we buy now is not as good as it was years ago .FACT.She was saying that the faster things grow the less nutrients is in food .
She was saying that theres no such thing as heathy bought food just for the amount of chemicals in it .blood tests were saying that we have 400% more chemicals then 50 years ago . which is effecting heath now . It even effecting the average height.
reading lables will not tell you what chemicals are used to grow the product

We grew our own fruit and veg in the garden this year for the first time. Some natural manure to start with but no herbicides or pesticides etc.
Its been some of the tastiest food I have ever had. The cucumbers and courgettes in particular were so much tastier than supermarket offerings.
I do think must people would prefer to grow there own. But most new houses have not got the land with them now . Its been some of the tastiest food I have ever had. The cucumbers and courgettes in particular were so much tastier than supermarket offerings.
