versus modern foods. Those foods, such as wheat and tomatoes, grown from heritage seeds has far more nutrients than the same crops grown from genetically altered seeds. Many of thoday’s seeds have been altered to be non-reproducing so that farmers must buy new seeds every year. They have also been genetically engineered with Roundup and probably other chemicals. US farmers use heavy chemicals on their crops for growth and weed control.

And we wonder why states such as Iowa and other farm states have high incidences of cancer.
