This topic on artificial food and natural food couldn't have come at a better time, because I'm currently at that stage of my life where I'm a lot more cautious about the things I eat. Although, sadly, I do not have the resources or money to ensure that I eat one hundred percent healthy. But I try not to let that stop me and just do the little I can because I do believe that doing that is way better than throwing caution to the wind and not doing anything at all.
Well, let's get back to the topic of discussion.
This might just be me being biased, but sincerely speaking, I'm a huge fan of natural stuff, and although my reason for thinking this way is highly influenced by the fact that it just makes common sense to me, there are also some good examples out there as to why I sincerely think this way.
You see, back in the day I remember my dad would always tell us that it was rare for them to hear news of little kids or anyone dying at a young age, that it was always considered to be an abomination. And if you ask me, I believe part of the reason for that was because more of our foods then and most of the things we consumed were mainly foods grown from the ground.
Even men who were drunkards back in the day lived long enough to get old and probably see their grandkids, because what most men in villages drank was palm wine, which are alcoholic drinks gotten from trees. So even the alcohol was from Mother Earth.
And then we have the medicines, the herbs also gotten from Mother Earth to use to treat sicknesses of all sorts. Now, while I will agree with you that the healthcare sector has improved a lot in this modern day and age, especially when compared to how things were being done back then, there are other things that got worse, two of which are the foods and drinks that we eat every day.
Nowadays, there are a lot of foods out there that cause more harm than good. Now some of these effects might not happen immediately, but as time goes on, the more we take these foods, the weaker our system gets, and I believe this is why every day, we keep on discovering new diseases and sicknesses out there.
Although I might not know this for a fact, something tells me that if an experiment is conducted and we bring two people into a room and only give one artificial food and give the other person foods grown from the ground with good crop seeds (because I also know that those too can be enhanced), I'm sure it wouldn't be hard for us to tell the difference after a given amount of time.
So yeah, inasmuch as we now live in a world where artificial stuff is now common, it doesn't mean that it's always healthy to consume things like that. Always apply caution and know when to apply caution.
