Food for Thought: Zero Organic food found at New Covent Garden Market

In an attempt to run a midnight mission to New Covent Garden Market to pick up organic produce for winter Fire Cider ingredients, we experienced a reality check that made us realise that Organic foods are beyond scarce, which can only be detrimental to our overall well-being.

We have somehow been sleepwalked into an unnatural, synthetic situation here that needs major change.

Multiple vendors at Buyers' Walk told me straight up that the Organic food market was a corrupt and misleading business. "The majority of foods are no longer Organic at all", they echoed. "If you want Organic, then you have to grow it yourself, or find small independent growers - not here in this market. There are no Organic products available to buy here. Restaurants and food stores simply can't afford Organic produce so they sell whatever they can get to make the most profit."

This means our food supply is genetically modified on a scale that should be a talking point for parents all over the world. If we, our children, and our pets are not receiving quality levels of key nutrients from fruits and vegetables, detrimental long-term health issues could potentially affect generations to come.

Our immune system needs these nutrients and compounds from vegetables, and fruits, grown in nature, to perform at its optimum level. We are currently witnessing a food supply disaster on a scale that only the people can change. The suppliers only have a desire to profit, so it's now up to us collectively to reverse it with our spending power. What else can we do? Consciousness and awareness of this issue is a starting point.

Would we all thrive better if our foods were organically grown with electro culture practices, discovered in the mid-1700s, with no need for additional fertilisers? Why are we ingesting GM seeds and toxic, chemically sprayed crops and soils? Until the mindset changes, we will need to supplement like never before.

Speak up. Share this with others. Research and source organically grown foods from small suppliers who are working hard to help us due to their moral standing. This one small change alone will surely benefit our overall well-being.
