Packaging - all M.A.P'd out?

Modified- atmospheric packaging. MAP for short. Has been shown to lower the quality and nutrition of the packaged food. It reduces the antioxidant content and gives an illusion to the healthy looking food inside.

Thank you for this valuable information. We need to more than just support farms by buying their food. We should also become a part of them. A real community, building relationships, and creating better bonds between people who care.

Great education; I live for it. However can you clarify something for me? I noticed 'organic salad packaging' as tags to this vid. Are saying that salads which have been labeled organic have gone through a chlorine rinsing process as well???

[WellnessMafia]

Yeah, those were all separate words in my tag section. But organic salad is normally labelled un-washed. It should not of had any chemical rinsing at all. This is better but still inferior to direct from the farm produce. Dont get me wrong, sometimes I have to buy from my supermarket and the organic kind is what i would grab for. ;)

Great advice, Farmers markets are the way to go. The farmers markets over here in the states are growing bigger every year. I never did trust pre-packaged salad.

CSA's are the best. Buying direct from the farms. Yea, they have been growing bigger here too in the uk. The supermarkets will feel the strain soon! I hope.

Hope you are well blade.
