Good article and very true. There have been numerous studies done on the vitamin and mineral content of our food. The vegetables and fruit that we grow are not as vitamin and mineral rich as they used to be. That is DIRECTLY attributed to the soil in which they are grown. So many want to "poo-poo" this, but as a nation we are eating food that is doing less for our bodies, and we are way over eating processed food that further adds to the "intake of empty and less nutritious calories".

Jan - that is correct. It is also true with the grass/hay our cows are eating. This is why a good mineral program is vital for our herds.
