they want to talk to you both fighter nutrients
no this isn't an infomercial
fighter nutrients
like
uh... impose science
he's in the things that are associated with
purple colors
by lots of them and blueberries and blue corn
stuff like that
dare antioxidants their intake can serve the some of them help memory uh... and
help the brain and there's just
films like good stuff info dried and so when you think about good for
good super foods when you think about you think about
well you know hey fresh corner kabul war brody
spinach
not so much
has a really interesting piece new york times over the weekend
about
vital nutrients nutrients that come from plants
that are produced by photosynthesis mail
metabolism
and what they found is that when we were hunters in gatherers
uh... keep in mind the human race
and appeared as the wrong word that the the earliest evidence of modern humans
mutated or whatever
uh... roughly hunter sixty five thousand years ago and and uh... eastern africa
when we first appeared to we appeared as hunter-gatherers and some was a
scavengers
need trip we were hunter-gatherers
for a hundred and fifty five thousand years
most of human history
and just in the last seven to ten thousand years have we been farmers
agricultural ists
and when we were hunter-gatherers we wouldn't you know we knew what was
edible and what wasn't
and we ate a wide variety of foods
uh... i'd buy right about this last thursday shin some i think that the the
average
early numbers
it's been it it's been some guy who wrote this book in ninety two
my recollection is that it would hit the average hunter-gatherer would heat
several hundred it different foods during the course of the year
and that the average american eats only doesn't spoke fruits during the course
of the year or even during the course they left him
we just think of all the foods you eat but they failed is really not that many
brads
what us
tomatoes onions pickles
perverse fish where ever you know if you're the reader
um...
green pepper is a major steered there's like
mel you start adding them up but it's like maybe thirty
and that's all we eat
and used to be that
half the things out there there were growing we would eat i remember back
beckoning is seventy staking but it louise enterococcus a course a wayne
state university
bec when she was pregnant with our eldest
which occurred a sheet a shiite at this course of wayne state uh... we are
living under detroit at the time
arm of wild edible plants
it was actually of in awhile plant taxonomy was the name of course cuz you
gotta make it sound scientific text-only is the science of
in organizing things in the categories
but basically what we do is we went all the words you know with the with a
professor
and to the force in the fields in
and we picked uh...
uh...
uh... b
though that the today rushes
um...
did you know it burst in the cotton at the end of the year they look like a hot
dog whether when they're richer
we pick those when they were ron we'd we'd get uh...
uh... believes and we'd be we'd get that that in we didn't
all these different plants these i mean
dozens of different plans that we started adding to our dining a clean
gambling greens you have to the key to des moines greens you have to get them
when they're really really young
when they're real small unreal fresh number not just a horribly better there
only moderately better
and uh...
anyhow we believe we've learned how to cook all these things and we
you know fiddle head for rooms when they're just before the unc well in fact
we science until a difference where in vermont weekend before last
so what has happened is because we no longer eat this stuff for no longer
getting nutrients because what happened is over ten thousand years of
agriculture and in particular last hundred years
in particular as thirty years
of corporate agriculture
is that we have been planting breeding for and planting things that are starchy
ensuite more fatty
and is not things that lots of nutrients
and so our diet basically doesn't have the nutrition in it that used to for
example
blue corn
has ninety-nine point five milligrams of anthocyanins poorer higher grams of
dried corn
ninety-nine orders
in blue corn
but we don't lukewarm
we white and yellow corn
white corn has one milligram
yela carvalho better that seventy milligrams of it's a really bright
yellow
but the blue is that is that good stuff
go to a store and say hey i'd like to get some blue corn the comp
you know i kind of stuff that the copies used to eat
then
sorry not so much
spinach we think spent a job popeye yeah
you buy special there's met in
eight eighty nine point eighty nine milligrams of any actions brighter grams
a spanish
played nine that's less than one milligram
of any accidents
in undergrad spinach
deadline greens on the other hand i have six point eight nine
milligrams of any accidents per hundred
gramps
seven hundred percent more
apples
granny smith read a little ish is apples
they have two hundred and five a hundred milligrams a fighter nutrients
respectively per liter juice
essence pretty good to return five milligrams a fighter nutrients in a
leader
check a crab apples
i was it when i was a kid we steve credible siren merck reptiles
cider incredible four thousand six anna milligrams a fight indifference per
liter juice
second crab apples seven thousand one hundred eighty one
milligrams of federal trees
but that's only half the problem
number one our food no longer centration still have the problem is that we're no
longer connected with nature the producers of food
bbc dot thing a while ago where they ask it's worth potato chips come from the
calm potato crisps where the two ships come from and the kids didn't know
then or potatoes came from either
is sick or not connected with nature and because we're not connected with nature
we don't consider knickers nature sacred
because we don't consider natures sacredness
we do with things like create genetically modified organisms
and trash the plan without wasting with air pollution can we spend weeks in iran
and debates a little bit when israel and
because
with disconnected ourselves to make
it's a six culture and our case a quiet
com hartman
i think we need to go back to a little bit of hard after any candidate by
growing and
instead of a long
