ODAY,
Earth's farmlands are tired,
overworked, depleted -
sick.
Quality of food is suffering -
and so is your health.
Few realize why, or what can

mental effects of malnutrition.

the ground. The soil makes available to
plants the esseotial elements needed for
their growth. In turn, man and the
ani–
mals man eats depend on these plants
for their nutrients.
In other words, you are, in a sense,

emotions pay the penalty. Plants and
