Channon Moon 2 years ago The commercially grown vegetables, fruits and grains that we are eating today are significantly less nutritious than these foods were 100 years ago, or even just 30 years ago. Plant breeders have increased yields in most crops, but this is causing our food’s nutrient content to decline.

Disturbing
I had assumed that nutrition value dropped as crops were bred for larger yields. But I had no idea that the drop was so extreme in just the last few decades. That's wild. Thanks for posting this!
