I don't disagree with your thesis on plant nutrition.
While is it a slightly different view, it appears to come from experience,
observation, and study.
Many of us believe a lot alike but often state it differently.
My observations and study have been closer to the commercial trend over the
years while dealing with greenhouse growers, vegetable scientists, and
horticulturists.
One of these people told a friend that I was the best outside tomato grower
he had ever seen.
When I give tomatoes to an 80 year old farmer and he says, they are the
best he has ever eaten in his life, and then says the same about corn I
have grown, I can produce the flavor and taste.
I won't say the best tasting produce has the most nutrients, but there must
be some relationship.
This year was the first time in 26 years I have not grown any produce where
I live simply because I was out of state during the spring.
When I got home, all my friends gave me tomatoes. The taste and flavor
varied greatly. One source is the most technical growers around. I
taught him the basics and he has now passed me in knowledge. He grows both
outside and in greenhouses.
He uses one of the most scientific nutrients available and his tomatoes
were best.
Another, somehow, grew almost tasteless tomatoes with no acid. Others
were somewhere in between.
I have sent tissue samples to the state college several times and they
always come back with the same report, ........ "No deficiencies".
Then there is the story of the chemistry professor that assigned his
students the task to find the Vitamin C in oranges. After a series of
tests, the students were getting worried.
Finally he told them, "There is no vitamin C in the oranges".
I certainly hope the depleted nutrients in foods is not as bad as some
stories sound.
Dr. Joel Wallach has a recent CD release that puts specific percents on
nutrient depletion.
It also covers some very old people around the world and how little decent
food they eat.
One of my original ideas, ....... I think.
"What you don't eat is more important that what you do eat".
"What you don't drink is more important that what you do drink".
I think we would all agree, the nutrient content of virtually all foods
have declined.
Our biggest problem is that we don't eat enough food, compared with our
ancestors.
They worked hard and often ate 10,000 calories per day. We must
acknowledge they were mining nutrients from this large quantity of food.
The low calorie diet of most people today simply cannot supply an the
needed nutrients.
