mediterranean diet is fantastic if what you eat is healthy and not full of junk pesticides and chemicals and hormones.
I am Lebanese (a small country in the middle east on the mediterranean sea) and i believe we have one of the most fantastic mediterranean cuisines. However i can tell you that what i was used to eat 10 to 15 years ago was much much tastier and healthier than what i could eat today. since what we are getting in our plates is the result of GMO and chemicals and other laboratory inventions. below how watermellon was in the past before the genetically modified version Vs the modern watermellon
True. The most important things are being phased away.
want to eat healthy ?? grow your own plants !!
I get when you say GMO you mean the modern version of directly selecting genes but humans have been genetically modifying food through selective breeding for millennia. The original version of watermelon was bitter and through selective breeding the version we eat today was created. Not everything that has been genetically altered is some form of frankenfood.
since is had been genetically altered it IS FRANKENFOOD even if it looks better, taste better and has "more" vitamins. On the other side we are growing fruits/vegetables/plants that havent been existing on earth and have been created by us humans ? never thought about NATURAL adaptation ?? probably something that did not exist was not supposed to exist !! SELECTIVE BREEDING is fine but nowadays we are also eating GMO made in laboratories (they produce the seed and start breed them)
