I love growing becoues it's my hobby. It's a beutifull plant and unlike my other Hobbys of mine I can dump thousands of dollers into it and get some of that back. Well all of it back, and some extra. I would love to grow perfect tomatoes or cucumber and lettuce but it might be hard to charge 4k a lb for tomatoes.

In recent years a growing number of reports have appeared which concluded that some of today's foods are not as nutritious as those eaten in the past. A report in the Journal of Complimentary Medicine in 2001 pointed out that US and UK Government statistics show a decline in trace minerals of up to 76% in fruit and vegetables over the period 1940 to 1991. (1)
In 2003 News Canada reported that today's fruit and vegetables contain far fewer nutrients than they did 50 years ago. They claimed that potatoes, tomatoes, bananas and apples were notably less nutritious. For example, the study (source unidentified) found that potatoes had lost 100 % of their vitamin A content, 57% of their vitamin C and iron, and 28% of their calcium. The report went on to examine data from the US Department of Agriculture involving vegetable quality, which showed that over the entire 20th century the average mineral content of such vegetables as cabbage, lettuce, spinach and tomatoes (a fruit!), declined from 400mg to less than 50mg. (2)
In 2004 a report in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition examined food composition changes from 1950 to 1999 recorded in the USDA food composition tables. Forty-three crops were examined – mostly vegetables. The conclusion was that there were statistically reliable declines for 6 nutrients. The declines were observed in protein, calcium, phosphorous, iron, riboflavin and ascorbic acid. The declines were not insignificant. e.g. 6% in the case of protein and 38% for the B vitamin riboflavin. (3) The UK publication Food Magazine early this year published an analysis of food quality changes in the UK over the period 1940-2002. The analysis was based on the well-known food composition tables published on a regular basis by McCance and Widdowson. (4) In an analysis of milk it was concluded that the iron content had fallen 62%, magnesium – another commonly deficient element, was down 21% and the copper content had disappeared completely. In the context of magnesium it is interesting to note that its levels fell in almost all foods examined – a mere 4% in turkey meat but dramatically lower quantities in many cheeses. Parmesan cheese was the worst affected recording a 70% fall in value. The calcium and iron content of all the foods examined was reduced dramatically in every instance e.g. the iron content of a beef rump steak fell 55%.

Are there any obvious causes for the general nutritional decline in food? Unfortunately, there appears to be no consensus on what the major factors could be. Indeed it is probable that multiple factors are at work. It is clear that the depleted nutritional value of many food items consumed today is an inherent feature of the foods chosen by consumers. A bottle of soda pop is clearly not as nutritious as a glass of milk or even a glass of pure fruit juice. Today's younger generation seem to prefer soda pop to milk.
Some nutritional changes can be explained by changes in access to foods, which are associated with trade related matters. In Britain, and probably in many other European countries dietary selenium levels have fallen dramatically in the last thirty years, to around half their earlier values. That decline appears to be due primarily to changes in trade regulations, which resulted in dramatic reductions of Canadian and US selenium-rich wheat imports. As a result, bread was produced from low selenium wheat of European origin. This illustrates how important nutritional changes can go unnoticed. Official exhortations to eat two or three pieces of bread each day do not address this problem.
Many modern farming practices lead to a reduction in quality. Grass-fed cattle produce meat that is much higher in nutrients like beta-carotene and vitamin E than their feedlot counterparts. Visit Jo Robinson's website for details – www.eatwild.com
Other nutritional changes can be attributed to changes in industrial practices. In the latest national food survey here in New Zealand (5) iodine was found to be the most deficient element. One reason for the reduced amount in dairy products relates to the declining use of Iodoform disinfectants on equipment used in the dairy industry.
Canadian researcher Harold Foster believes that pollution has resulted in chemical changes in soils, which affects the bio-availability of elements like selenium. Thus the plants grown on them are deficient in the nutrients concerned. He believes that selenium deficiency is a key factor in the current world AIDS epidemic and the increased prevalence of other viral diseases. (6) One of the leading researchers in the field is Donald Davis, a biochemist at the University of Texas. He has been writing and speaking on the causes of declining food quality for years. At a recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science at St Louis he discussed the causes and possible solutions to the problem. Davis believes that the cause lies in the way food is grown, processed and prepared. He points out that the commercial imperatives of high-yield, fast growing crops result in a sacrifice of quality. He also observed that recent studies, (which have examined the effects on antioxidant levels of reversing these changes), have revealed that several organic growing methods can increase the broad antioxidant content of produce. Davis observes, "On average, antioxidant levels increased by about 30 percent in carefully designed comparative trials. Organically grown produce offers significantly enhanced health-promoting qualities, contributing to the achievement of important national public health goals." (7)

I was talking to one of the grow masters at the pearl city urban garden center, he basically stated certain tomatoes varietals do better at certain elevations, I've grew out some beefsteaks and they did okay, after the first sets of fruits ripened the plants developed a silver shiny kind of fungus I believe, and most of the tomatoes I grow develop the same fungus, but the cherry varietals seem to be a little more resistant to the fungus. Ive also notice when I aggressively spray the tomatoes with EM-1 it takes a little longer for the fungus to develop.

How many of you have the ability to watch Net Flicks online? There is a poop load of documentaries that support what Surf'd recently posted....I have to admit I'm a bit of a Net Flicks junkie...lol... If you rely on the mainstream media as your sole source of information, you're only getting one side of the story. if you really want to be well informed, you need to seek information from independent media sources.

Have you seen Independent Intervention? The Gerson diet documentary was awesome! The majority of the veggies i grow now are primarily used for juicing. (Beets, Carrots, Kale ect.)

Whatever you have no clue what I have been through in the last 9 years with 4 brain injuries man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
