| What foods do you guys know of that aren't as good as they used to be?
| Here's the ones I know.
|
| 1. Salmon. They have farm raised salmon which is inferior to
| wild-caught salmon because the farm salmon lacks omega 3 fatty acids,
| which are important for many human physiological functions, including
| the creation of more serotonin, which helps fight depression.
|
| 2. Coffee. I heard that the average coffee is lower quality than it
| used to be, because at some time, maybe in the 70's, there was a coffee
| shortage, which resulted in lower coffee quality. And ever since then,
| Americans have become accustomed to drinking lower quality coffee.
| (However, I'm sure high quality coffee is still available if you look
| for it)
|
| 3. Meat - Americans used to eat a lot of wild meat 100 or more years
| ago. Once again, it had omega 3 fatty acids, which farm raised meats
| lack. (By the way, I take fish oil pills which have the omega 3 acids).

4. Vegetables that have been "improved". ie. tomatoes/corn

5. Fruit same as above.. we just had a thread about Delicious Apples.

6. Bread that has been "wonderized"

And of course we now have all the convenience foods that have been canned to
make prep faster. Not to mention food combinations that just need 1 thing
added to complete the meal.
