There's food (aka good tasting food, which was exposed to the sun and grown in the open) and there's FoOd (aka tastes like water, grown under glass).

Most of the food you can buy nowadays, even on "local markets", is the latter variant. Cheaply produced without taste or value that lasts for weeks without going bad. Unhealthy food. And it's making us more stupid because we don't get enough of the nutrition we usually would.

I remember the story about 2 girls from India who moved to the UK. They would get ill and no reason could be found until someone had the idea that the food in India was actual natural food, and the food in the UK was this watered down food.

How often do you eat a tomato nowadays that tastes like a tomato and not like a watermelon without the taste?

Glass in between the light has absolutely no relation to taste or other properties. My own best veggies are grown in a greenhouse. It's about the soil and what you grow - commercial strains are not selected for taste but durability/good looks. If you grew the same commercial strain """naturally""" you'd still get bad taste.

Can you point to an article about the two girls from India?
