Where does our food come from

These days we see in the market, there is a trend of organic foods, healthy foods, fresh farm foods. I believe it is very important to pay attention to where does our food comes from. Specially if we are mindful about our diet, then we should equally be mindful about the source.

Whether a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian both the foods can be contaminated. It's a wrong myth that the vegetable foods are much healthier than the non-vegetarian foods. Vegetables can be heavily infested with chemicals and genetically modifies. Even foods that are grown in local farms can not be very nutritious because the quality of the soil will matter the quality of the food grown. If the soil is not very healthy then the food grown on it will also not be very healthy. For the non-vegetarians, the livestock can be feded anything, so even if it is mentioned farm raised cattle, one needs to see what is fed in those farms. If they are fed grains then that is one indirect source of consuming gluten, and then what quality of grains are being fed to them.

When I visit a supermarket, I always like to see the ingredients, even the foods that are tagged as healthy and organic I see there are some contents which are not in it, like the refined vegetable oils and sugar used in it. It is so difficult to find out something that is really absolutely healthy in the packed foods, so then if I have to choose, I make choices of selecting fresh vegetables and fruits.

Here in Muscat, I do not have much of a choice but to source my food from supermarkets but back home in Mumbai I do have choice of that and I try to source from known sources who I can rely on for providing healthy foods. These days even the livestock are given all sorts of vaccines and then we consume them. These pharma industries have left no one, nor humans nor animals. Even when they mention it is organic, it is very much possible that vaccinations are given to them, which when we consume those foods can create hazards for our health.

As the food demand increases the supply will also be created and more supply means ways and means of creating fast foods. It is our individual responsibility to be in charge of our foods and decide for ourself what is good for us and what is not.
