"In spite of what Mother taught you about the benefits of eating broccoli, data collected by the U.S. government show that the nutritional content of America's vegetables and fruits has declined during the past 50 years -- in some cases dramatically."
Stating the obvious? Still, eating vegetables has got to be better than junk food. Reply to this article / Report this article

Well pretty much /anything/'s better than junk food really. But isn't this like how most people haven't really tasted "real" chicken because the habitats and diets in/on which the chickens we buy in the supermarket are reared are nothing like how chicken used to be...
I don't know. All I know is that, in Malaysia, I had some chicken that had been reared just pecking worms and suchlike from the grounds where it roamed and it tasted nothing like the chicken back here.
