Mom will add vegetables to my vegetables?
Americans eat what might be called an all-consuming diet. Each day we're fed over 1 billion pounds—and one trillion calories—of food. Our agricultural system consumes enormous quantities of fuel, fertilizers, and pesticides to produce the grains, meat and poultry, and fruits and vegetables that feed a country of nearly 300 million people. It consumes enormous tracts of land and quantities of water—not just for growing food for people, but for producing food for livestock. And ultimately, a diet so high in animal products and relatively low in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, ultimately consumes the consumer: Diet-related diseases account for hundreds of thousands of premature deaths each year.
All I can think to do is try and eat healthy and find great whole food supplements that help you get your vegetables and fruits in. It’s recommended 12-17 servings a day. Gosh, how much more can I pile on my sandwich?
