I ran across this article with fascinating findings. in essence, health care spending has increased dramatically in America and yet, life expectancy has declined. America is now 12th from the top in life expectancy.
Why bring this up in a farm blog? because nutrition is at the heart of life expectancy, and nutrition starts at the food producer, the farm. It is rooted in the soil, and the health of the soil. The bottom line is, the health of thesoil determines the health of the nation which claims it.
Besides America willingly destroying its soil and corrupting the methods of farming that produce nutritious food, our health care system has moved from prevention to cure. prevention, for the most part, has been abandoned in favor of creative ways to fix the problems.
Little sprouts farm is dedicated to stopping this trend, and moving America in the other direction, a return to prevention through nutritious food produced in healthful methods.
Here are the details. fascinating read!
