A Disturbing Observation on Imported Produce
Recently, I purchased a bag of cherries from the USA, enticed by a fantastic sale. These cherries were exceptionally tasty, making for a delightful outdoor snack. However, an unsettling incident occurred: I accidentally dropped one on the ground.
Fast forward nearly four days, and to my surprise, that cherry remains largely untouched. It hasn’t attracted any insects, birds, or even begun to shrivel in the sun. This prompted a troubling realization: what I thought was fresh, natural food seems to lack the qualities that connect it to our ecosystem.
It raises an important question about the integrity of our food sources. Is what we consume truly part of the natural cycle, or are we being fed something that has been stripped of its organic connections?
I encourage everyone to think critically about their food choices and stay informed about the origins of their produce. It’s crucial to understand the impact that what we eat has on our health and environment. Let’s strive for freshness and authenticity in our diets—nature knows best.
