Industrial farming strips the soil of minerals and other life-giving properties People then must take magnesium bisglycinate, trace minerals, and other supplements to make up for the deficiency in meat & produce Feels like the game is “rob you of your birthright, and sell it back to you as a product”

One way to know is to look at the vegetables I like @brixbounty's photos of his produce -- I've learned a lot from it, and look for leaves that look waxy / thick and have good "vascularity" https://warpcast.com/brixbounty/0xe52cedea

so... a non profit I've worked with for a long time, The Bionutrient Association, was working on bringing a spectrometer to the commercial market to help folks with this. Though at this point they've pivoted away from that focus; so we'll have to wait until one of a cell phone companies puts a spectrometer into a cell phone tech stack (samsung had teased this a few years back). should have pushed for this to be considered by the @ethos team, missed opportunity there The reality at this point, is that more often than not, your taste buds will be the best indicator beyond visual cues; and if you are shopping at a farmers market by all means strike up a conversation with the vendors to assess what they may or may not be doing to improve the nutrient quality of their produce. baseline formula is parent rock material (aka geology) + soil fertility + genetics + crop management + post harvest care = quality. vascularity - cc @ted https://www.bionutrient.org/
