Every bit of food we have has been altered, including what you might grow in your own garden. All of which we eat today is the product of a very long process of changing our food by selection and engineering. Modern food crops do not resemble their ancestors and are more calorie/energy dense than even the same crops produced just 50 years ago. Plant sugar content has gone way up and vital nutrients have gone down by selecting plants for those characteristics and producing new cultivars from them. Livestock has been changed similarly but with more engineering rather than simple selection. Everything is altered. Everything is poisoned to some degree. We are long past the time of natural foods. You can pretend what you grow yourself is natural, but the truth is you're only just choosing to accept the lie you tell yourself to virtue signal. It's all poisoned.
No it isn't. You can easily buy heirloom seeds. There's even a non profit that does this.
And how far back do those heirloom seeds go? This has been going on since man started farming. You needs seeds that are hundreds of years old to get us back to a closer to natural version of them. Those seeds will grow fruits and vegetables that are nothing like you would see today so don't expect them to taste or look the same. There are hundreds of varietals of bananas in existence yet we eat a small handful of modified cultivars because the rest are practically inedible because they are hard, have giant seeds and taste bland at best or like shit at worst. Heirloom seeds are just slightly behind their contemporary counterparts and are still fucked with.
I'm talking about seeds that predate genetic engineering. No, I don't want to eat wild plants that were the predecessors of modern vegetables.
GMO everything.
