When we sacrifice the quality, especially of our food, in order to eat cheap, nutrient-deficient, pesticide-laden food, we all suffer! Not only is our health affected, but the commercial growing industry is supported in their harmful growing techniques. I think if more people realized the immense benefits of growing their own organic foods, and learned how manageable it really is, even for people who don't naturally have green thumbs, they would jump off the commercial, mass-produced food treadmill, and onto a MUCH healthier lifestyle where they themselves are in control of what they put in their bodies!
