on the Value of Hard Lessons

by Linda Sechrist

Why do we need supplements?

To get the same amount of iron as you would have from 1 cup of spinach in 1945, you would have to eat 65 cups today.

An orange that contained 50mg of Vitamin C in 1950, now contains 5mg.

Why? 1) the lack of crop rotation 2) chemicals in the soil killing the good microbes.
