The vegetables we see in the supermarket are quite luring, but this you can put down to the effect of LED lighting. I must let you into this — there is nothing organic about the glow. These are fruits and vegetables which are brought up on synthesised fertilizers, pesticides, and other chemicals. Long years of eating this very food give us various types of chronic illnesses. And add to this the harm we are causing to the soil and environment.
Growing organic food in your garden
Won’t it then be a mighty relief, both for our immune system and the environment, if we begin to grow organic food in our own garden?
I had this acquaintance who constantly complained of walking with lead-feet. He felt sluggish all the time and his metabolism was clearly failing to arrest the downward slump caused by inorganic ‘supermarket’ food. I, being an ardent admirer of growing an organic kitchen, advised him the same, and since then things have been on an upward curve. At least his motivation level suggests this!
