Reason #2: Soil Depletion

Terms:

Modern mass-production agriculture depletes nutrients from the soil without replenishing them. The application of synthetic fertilizers stimulates the growth of beautiful-looking plants. However, the nutrient content is missing.

So when you bite into that healthy salad or slice of whole-wheat bread, you’re getting less nutrition today than from the identical foods grown in the same soil fifty years ago.
