Here's something to get you started...

Did you read it?

They studied U.S. Department of Agriculture nutritional data from both 1950 and 1999 for 43 different vegetables and fruits, finding “reliable declines” in the amount of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin (vitamin B2) and vitamin C over the past half century. Davis and his colleagues chalk up this declining nutritional content to the preponderance of agricultural practices designed to improve traits (size, growth rate, pest resistance) other than nutrition.

All studies show almost all Americans eat more protein than their bodies can use and thus goes out the anus. The rest all in the category of "RARELY SEEN" deficiencies. If the nutrition OF the people is not deficient who gives a damn what the individual contributors are? And if the deficiencies occur we have vitamin pills to deal with them.

In fact EVERYTHING in fruits and veggies comes in pill form if you do not mind watery stool.

AND for a country with an obesity problem why is anyone concerned with nutrition in the first place? With obesity we WANT malnutrition to get them back to a normal weight.

We do not want kids with swollen bellies from dusty countries but muffin tops have got to go.
