So, what are hybrid foods? Hybrid foods are foods, which will not grow in Nature. They are foods which must be nurtured and protected by humans or else they will be overcome by birds, insects, worms, fungi, and bacteria. They are unnaturally high in sugar and off in the mineral ratios. Hybrid foods are devoid of proper mineral balance that all wild foods contain.
Organic foods are locally grown, so they have natural ratios of sugar and minerals.
But I know its very tough enough to get organic foods in metropolitans where the markets are fully captured by hybrid foods.

I think the vast majority of foods we get are hybrid foods. They are all genetically engineered. The foods (i forgot what you call them lol) that don't have any pesticides are harder to get and more expensive.

I am glad science has made such advances. But sometimes things need to be left alone and not tampered with. I can see if we need these things, Lets say we endured a Nuclear war and the fallout killed alot of our plant resources. Ok than but really.

The problem is with this kind of thing is that nobody seems to look at the subsequent issues that can result from it. Things like a reduction in the workforce and long term effects on the body.

What's the use of having these foods if nobody has a job to buy them at the end of it or our bodies can't tolerate them?

Also, the big corporations have a vested interest of hiding the real issues, so the impact wouldn't hit us while it was too late.

In practice the price for convenience and choice could be a lot higher than we think.
