Norway's soccer team shipped thousands of pounds of their own food to the World Cup. When you look at what's in our soil, our crops, and our ingredient lists... you get why they made that decision.
Our soil has been so heavily over-farmed that it's lost a significant portion of the minerals it once had... which means even "healthy" whole foods are delivering a fraction of the nutrition they used to.
On top of that, herbicides like Roundup are still widely used on U.S. crops. Glyphosate has been linked to gut disruption, hormone interference, and cellular damage in the research... yet it's still showing up on and in so much of the food on your plate.
And then there are the additives. The U.S. still allows thousands of food additives that have been banned in the EU, the UK, and other countries that have simply looked at the evidence and said no. We haven't caught up yet.
Norway's athletes needed to perform at the highest level possible, and their team decided that meant controlling the quality of every meal. That level of standard shouldn't just be reserved for elite athletes. Our kids deserve it. Pregnant mothers deserve it. Every family deserves it.
We need to keep demanding better... from our food system, from our policymakers, and from ourselves.
Simple choices like choosing glyphosate-free certified food products, washing your produce thoroughly, buying organic when possible, and supporting local, regenerative farms, are all actionable steps you can take to get higher quality nutrition.
