Local and Organic in Puerto Vallarta food sourcing

My Partner had a meltdown in an American super chain store this morning. She could not understand why all these folks prefer to support billion-dollar Inc. that offer imported, packaged, sprayed and travel weary foods from all over the globe?

Why is that? Marketing? Convenience? Habit? Some folks will go all across town for the “run”

The film ”Food Inc”, points out with overwhelming evidence what spurs these huge corporate food giants, which would be ‘Shelf life’, awhile having nothing in mind except increasing profits, and little to do with providing wholesome foods to us and the world. The film focuses on living in the U.S. We have, for the most part, more options here in Mexico

It is a fact that local is fresher and organics contain more nutrition

Organic fruit and vegetables contain up to 40 percent more antioxidants
Organic produce had higher levels of beneficial minerals like iron and zinc
Milk from organic herds contained up to 90 percent more ant>ioxidant

Food grown in healthier soil, with natural fertilizers and no chemicals, simply is more nutritious which is common sense and common knowledge. That fact is suppressed in Mexico as the agro schools focus on using liquid fertilizers and pesticides, Of course, we know where the agro programs get their funding from.

Speaking of keeping us in the dark, have you seen the food labels, They are getting more ambiguous all the time. Just try and find out where that organic baby spinach comes from the next time you are in the cold room

Do they ever mention what that plastic box was gassed with before packing that pretty produce? Please note that product packaging is not regulated. How about a little preservative gas cocktail in that Brazilian packed organic spinach tube to keep them lively and fresh for the month they are in transportation. Really? From Brasil to California. then Mexico?? Plus a little radiation keeps the mold off those lovely perfect apples and pears for at least a 6 months,

No wonder cancer and other degenerative diseases are on the rise in Mexico, US, and Canada.

If you want fresh, tasty, nutrient-rich foods, you simply must seek out real sources at home by sourcing farmers local markets.

It happens that Organic Select Mexico, in PuertoVllarta, has been in the organic food business for 20 years,

The Bottom line?

Stick to foods that comes from your community.

In the most natural form possible. Eat meats, vegetables, fruits, cheeses, sprouts, herbs and more that come from a local source and seasonally available.
