I wanted to thank you for tonight’s call. My husband and I lived out of the country for nearly 30 years and upon returning, one of the things that stood out to us the most was the bland and tasteless food. (We really miss those mouth-watering mangos, papayas and other tropical fruits!) It took us awhile to understand that the nutrient content of fruits and vegetables had dropped significantly during those years we were gone and that we needed to work hard to have a healthy diet here in the US.

I’m encouraged to see this growing movement toward making nutrient dense foods available in the marketplace and creating a new standard of food quality. We’re definitely behind it. We’re willing to pay premium prices for quality food that tastes good and provides the nutrition we need to stay healthy.

Hi Dan and Jon,

As I see more and more farmers become interested in remineralization, I observe them just adding rock dusts to the soil without regard for weather what they are adding is what is actually needed. My experience in working with Jon has shown that too much, or the wrong ratios of minerals may not be what we need to produce nutrient dense foods.

I would like to hear Dan’s perspective on this issue. Also, the remineralize.org website has great exposure to the world. Do you see a value in educating people not to simply dump rock dusts into the soil and think that this will solve the problem of nutrient deficient crops?

Thanks,
Nataraj

Dan,

How dense are Indian fruits and vegetables? How do you compare them to the produce in America?

Many Thanks.
