Health

Eating healthy is important because people every day are worrying about being healthy.

I think is important for people to know how a farmer grows your products, and the marketer sells them.

First, agricultural production is a set of practices, and it can give different results depending on the inputs. Second, water is the principal input because fruits and vegetables contain water. Third, to produce fruits and vegetables the farmer must do fumigation of plagues and diseases. Finally, manipulation of the product interferes with it is quality.

Why is this important? because we are what we eat.

Many agricultural products are excessively fumigated, irrigated with contaminated water, and improperly handled. The plants have an organelle called the vacuole that houses irrigation water inside, but if this water is contaminated with heavy metals such as Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, and Mercury. Besides, the poisons are added to this for pest control in crops and these are deposited both in the vacuole and in the tissues of agricultural products.

Here it comes into play the last item, manipulation.

Why is important manipulation? because if the farmer does not respect the closed times suggested by the laboratory for agricultural inputs and sends its products to the market, they will arrive contaminated.

I do not say that all fruits and vegetables are contaminated, or all farmers are irresponsible. I want to say that it is important to know where and what you eat comes from.
