last night i fell asleep to a documentary about how vegetables are slowly losing their nutrients so NGOs are trying to make hybrid seeds in literal human shitfields in india using child slave labor to separate the seeds. sickening shit. these niggas just need to rotate crops so the land fertility doesnt get fucked up but instead they would rather hire literal 6 year olds to smash tomatoes for seeds in 120f temps

@graf It's worse than that actually.
Thanks to lack of any regulation on the market, there is no standard on what a fruit or vegetable actually is.
This results in a selective breeding process that favors larger, prettier, (and sweeter in the case of fruit) crops.
Markets, in other words Normies, are driving the evolution of crops in developed nations, which results in decline in nutrients since that is not what's being selected for.
Even the most fertile soil can't grow the fruits your grandparents ate, those don't exist anymore.
