Can you tell the difference between these two pictures? Of course you can. One is real, one is fake! No problem!

Now let me ask you....which would you prefer to eat? Silly question, huh?

Just bear with me a moment, and think about your reasons for answering that question the way that you obviously did. (I'm assuming you chose to eat the real fruit and veggies, and not the pretend food, correct?)

Nutrition? Of course. Taste? Well, duh! How about the fact that plastic's probably not good for you!

Well, what if I told you that the fake food wouldn't hurt you, that it was actually better for you because all sorts of good things have been added, and that it tastes good, costs less, and that's what everyone eats?! Would you take a taste of it then?

No? Ohhhhh....You can see the difference with your own eyes! Well, looks can be deceiving, you know!

I ate a strawberry the other night, and it LOOKED pretty much like a strawberry...It said on the carton that it was a strawberry...It sorta tasted like one...

But it didn't have the full sweetness...not quite enough taste...and the texture! The texture's what gave it away!

I've been eating strawberries my whole entire life! When I was little, we used to have a great big huge patch full of them, and I'd eat them all the time! This was no strawberry like anything I'd ever tasted before, and I've had fruit from different countries, as well! This was NOT a strawberry...I'm sure.

I mean,well, it MUST have been...The box said so! But I still think it was somehow fake. GENETICALLY ENGINEERED by an IMPOSTER of Nature! Some kind of strawberry changing scientist freak, thinking he can do better than God! And making a tidy profit, I'm sure.

It was smooth. Tasted like plastic. Felt like plastic inside my mouth. It was strange.

I find more and more that I run into a lot of food that's just not quite the same. Like corn. It's hard anymore to find corn like when I was a kid.

I'll tell you where I DO find food that tastes like it used to taste....In the organic section, that's where! The BEST is vine ripened and locally grown!

I don't think science can improve on food. Food was real good to start with. I like the taste of real food, without being modified. I trust it more in my body, too. You know, they say only God can make a tree, well I think only God can make strawberries, too.

Real Food. It only makes sense.

Real people...real food. It's a match!
