This issue applies to both Organic and non-organic and is rooted in soil deprivation, husbandry, and cultivar selection. The SA can't really highlight this because it would alienate a good chunk of their intensive producers.

A landmark study on the topic by Donald Davis and his team of researchers from the University of Texas (UT) at Austin’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry was published in December 2004 in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition. They studied U.S. Department of Agriculture nutritional data from both 1950 and 1999 for 43 different vegetables and fruits, finding “reliable declines” in the amount of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin (vitamin B2) and vitamin C over the past half century. Davis and his colleagues chalk up this declining nutritional content to the preponderance of agricultural practices designed to improve traits (size, growth rate, pest resistance) other than nutrition.

Are we still saying that the tomatoes, cucumber and pepper in my example dish are providing less nutrition than the pizza? :Blink:

I never said that, I was just highlighting the claims made above, erroneously attributed to an Organic distinction, but making a valid point.

Personally,you can keep your pizza, Fray Benton's and unseasonal carbon spaffing produce in your own trolley,thanks.

Should we boycott soil?
 
I'm not sure that the SA screening accounts for nutrient deficient soils either mate.

It's amusing what Tories and their trucklers will do to keep peddling their lies.

They go on about Labour being stuck in the 70s, they themselves keep peddling the same well rehearsed tropes, despite the overwhelming evidence, and in this case in the nutrition crash in fresh food.

The odd thing half of them will wade into the Brexit forums wagging their fingers at leavers for not noting the factual evidence, I suppose that's why there has been a collapse in the Liberal centre ground, do as we say not what we do mantra has no value in 2020.

Are you alright? You've come over incredibly odd on this topic. The Harvard link I shared earlier had a few peer reviewed papers in it, so to suggest no evidence has been presented is just bizarre. We also do our shopping in the way I suggest, so I know full well that it's fairly easy to buy fruit and vegetables for a decent budget. You'll see no chocolate bars, ready meals, booze or fizzy drinks in our shopping trolley.
