Organic produce is more nutritious and healthier
In 1950 there were 100 varieties of tomato grown in New Zealand; today you can expect around 5. In 1903, in the US there were 46 varieties of asparagus, now there are 3; and there were 164 varieties of celery, there are now 3.
Eat organically grown vegetables when you can
Eating most red meat delivers antibiotic fallout. New Zealand animal farming uses 80,000 kg of antibiotics every year. Hormone growth promotants (HGPs) are still used in areas of New Zealand even though they have been banned by the EU since 1988.
The Jason Shon Bennett ‘Not-A-Pie’ Chart
Here is a reminder of the basic way we have always eaten. Mostly plants. Mostly wholefoods. Greens dominating the plate. Lots of fibre. Lots of colour. This is how I eat. A plant-based wholefood diet. Very cool for your fridge door or wherever the food is!

When will we see this as a critical emergency to address as individuals, communities and as a nation?
We just need to start de-programming ourselves. We need to be open to understanding this and then desiring change. There is so many golden nuggets out that for us to learn in regards to health but if we keep reverting back to what we've been told by the white coats we just keep going round in circles. 😊
