Fruits and Veggies


Every time I go to the grocery store I cannot help but look at the fruits and vegetables and think about all of the things that were done to them before they finally arrived to the store that I was at. I think to myself, “Don’t people wonder how, no matter what time of year, there are ALWAYS every kind of fruit and every kind of vegetable?”. It is a very valid question considering that there are only specific times a year for each specific type of fruit and vegetable to be grown naturally. Also, “How are they all big and juicy still?”, pops into my head. With some seasons being worse or better than others, it is normal for the fruits and vegetable to be terrible one season and good the next; or have excess one season and a shortage the next. But it never fails. There are always plenty amounts of everything and the, for the most part, look like the same quality every time.
It is very simple how this happens. These fruits and vegetables are grown inorganically. The use of genetic modifications and chemicals helps these foods grow faster and bigger. Chemicals are also used to make these fruits and veggies last long enough to make it around the world with enough time to arrive being still eatable. But, if it seems too good to be true, it is. No matter how fast, big, or long-lasting these fruits and veggies are, they are still poor quality food that should not even be considered eatable. The genetic modifications that are eaten make genetic modifications to our bodies and the chemicals harm us terribly. On top of that, they don’t even taste good. If you are used to the tastes and don’t believe me, go to an organic food market and try their vegetables (especially green peppers and tomatoes); you will immediately understand.
