“THIS IS NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHER’S TOMATO! - Part III”
“After more than 30 years of ‘hands-on’ organic farming
and continuous nutritional research, let me explain why…
this is NOT your grandmother’s tomato!
We ended Part II by describing the unhealthy energy drinks
and all that is put into them that is not good for you.
Then I introduced my best creation called, “The FEAST,”
and today I’d like to share with you the origin of the Feast.
Introducing the Breakthrough Technology That Locks in the REAL NUTRITION Value of Fresh Organic Fruits and Vegetables - Guaranteed!
The origin of the Feast begins back in the late 1970s when my family began a small herb harvesting business in the southwestern desert regions of the United States.
When I was seven years old, I began helping in the family business by harvesting wild herbs…and at that time, my lifelong interest in nutrition was sparked. The business flourished, and soon we were providing wildcrafted herb powders to some of the biggest nutritional companies in America.
In the mid 1980s, we began looking for a superior way to preserve the nutritional integrity of whole foods in order to provide a much higher form of quality nutrients than found in typical nutritional supplements. During this time, we began developing a proprietary process for drying live whole foods and fresh raw juices into powder. We began with cereal grasses and herbs.
We discovered that the best way to preserve the nutritional integrity of these grasses and herbs was to dry them using LOW heat and QUICKLY turn them into powder in seconds at very low temperatures. As our processing technology evolved and continually improved, we then turned to processing organic and naturally grown fruits and vegetables.
I knew that if I could make this drying process work for fresh, organic produce, I would be onto something big. The quality of the nutrient dense products resulting from our proprietary process was far superior to anything produced by other nutritional supplement processing techniques. We realized that our proprietary process could revolutionize how we take, absorb, and benefit from vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients naturally found abundantly in organic produce.
It took years for me to perfect it, but now I’m excited to tell you all about…the PROPRIETARY INSTAFRESH DRYING PROCESS.
In PART IV, I’ll share with you the NEW secret behind REAL whole food-based nutrition.
Until then, keep checking back for the next part…

“THIS IS NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHER’S TOMATO! - Part II”
“After more than 30 years of ‘hands-on’ organic farming
and continuous nutritional research, let me explain why…
this is NOT your grandmother’s tomato!
We ended Part I of this article with the question:
Why such poor nutritional content in our produce today?
The main culprit is “modern agriculture.” Today, most farmers and big food conglomerates use any eans to squeeze as much produce out of an acre of land as they can. Chemical fertilizers. Herbicides. Manipulation of soil and seeds. Genetic engineering. Pesticides. And they’ve violated time-honored holistic farming methods such as crop rotation and natural pest control and fertilization.
So, over time, our soil gets stripped of nutrients, minerals, and living organisms. No wonder most fruits and vegetables in America are nutritionally deficient.
As I’ll explain, The Feast addresses this problem head on. How? With a proprietary drying system that locks in the nutritional content of organic and naturally-grown fruits and vegetables without synthetic vitamins, pasteurization, and preservatives.
The result? You get a vast spectrum of naturally occurring live whole food-based vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and antioxidants your body needs and deserves.
Still, there another reason why you can’t rely on today’s common fruits and vegetables to give you real nutrition like you could in the past.
SOME OF OUR MOST TRUSTED FOOD SOURCES MAY BE “TAINTED”
Today, our typical food sources, especially fruits and vegetables, are sprayed with synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and chemicals on a regular basis. Just consider these eye-opening facts…
* Pesticide use in agriculture and for home and industrial purposes has increased a whopping 50 percent within just the past three decades.
* Vegetables such as corn, lettuce, and potatoes absorb antibiotics when they’re grown in soil spread with manure containing antibiotics.
* Since World War II, more than 80,000 synthetic chemicals have been created and released into the environment, as many as 1,500 new ones each year! These chemicals, even after they’re banned, can last a long time in the environment. For example, DDT was banned over 30 years ago, but it can still be found in the breast milk of women all over the world. And DDT can make its way back into our food supply through foods imported from countries where this pesticide is still used.
*High levels of nutrient pollution used in farming and ranching activities are found in lakes and streams. Is it any wonder there are populations of frogs living in these waters with deformities?
Is it any wonder that according to a recent study, 70 percent of consumers buy organic foods to avoid pesticides.
But as I’ll explain later, The Feast takes all the worry out of the quality and purity of fruits and vegetables. You get the finest quality organic and naturally grown produce free of pesticides and toxins - in a unique, easy to take, delicious form that you’ll love.
If that’s not enough, even…
“NATURAL” JUICES AND ENERGY DRINKS ARE NOT WHAT YOU THINK
Still other folks hope to get some or most of the fruits and vegetables they need from so-called “natural” juices. Not so fast!
Did you know that 98 percent of liquid nutritional products on the market are pasteurized? PASTEURIZATION uses high heat to kill bacteria and harmful microorganisms, but at the same time substantially alters or deactivates the majority of good, naturally occurring “live” nutrients and enzymes!
What’s more, many of these so-called “natural” juices contain ingredients from “juice concentrates” or “puree concentrates” using heat or a vacuum, which also denatures the nutritional integrity of a fruit or berry. And some of these juices contain ONLY TEN PERCENT OR LESS of the actual key ingredient promised on the label.
What about hot selling ENERGY DRINKS?
The truth is most of them are absolutely loaded with high fructose corn syrup and synthetic caffeine - and there’s not much “natural” about these ingredients.
SPECIAL WARNING: A new study at Wayne State University reveals that healthy adults who drank two energy drinks a day saw blood pressure and heart rate levels increase.
As you’re about to see, The Feast retains a high content of naturally occurring live nutrients found in fresh produce - giving you whole food-based nutrition unlike any so-called “healthy’ super juice or green food drink that I’ve ever seen.
How is that possible? Let me explain, starting with a little known story that began more than 25 years ago…
NOTE: I will continue this article in PART 3 in a few days.

“THIS IS NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHER’S TOMATO! - Part I”
“After more than 30 years of ‘hands-on’ organic farming
and continuous nutritional research, let me explain why…
this is NOT your grandmother’s tomato!
You’ve heard ‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away’...
but not today’s apple. Today’s apple is not your grandmother’s apple.
Neither is a tomato, nor lettuce, or carrot - you name it.
And in many cases, even what’s advertised as a ‘natural’ food
may not really be what you think it is. That’s because you’re being sold a bill of goods by the big food manufacturers when it comes to conventionally grown fruits, vegetables, and other so-called ‘healthy’ foods today.
The Truth: Beward of the ‘Toxic Buffet’
Why have so many of our food sources been altered? Why are our foods no longer delivering the kind of nutrition they’ve provided us in the past? And what are the potential risks from these foods?
Here are the startling answers, starting with these facts:
Did you know that over 70 percent of processed foods in U.S. grocery stores contain genetically modified ingredients? And more than half of the corn grown in the U.S. is genetically engineered? This means foods are being altered by scientists in ways our forefathers never imagined. Just consider these shocking examples…
1. Many prematurely picked tomatoes are artificially ripened with hormones.
Take a tomato. The longer it stays on the vine, the higher its sugar level, better its taste, and higher its nutrient content. Just think about how good a home-grown tomato tastes. Yum! But out-of-season produce in the U.S. is often shipped up to 2,500 miles before being sold - so you can’t pick a fully ripened tomato and expect to sell it cross country.
This is why many farmers in Florida, California, and Mexico pick tomatoes at ‘mature green’ state and artificially ripen them with ethylene. Ethylene is a hormone derived from petroleum and natural gas. The problem is, these tomatoes are deprived of optimum nutrient content.
2. Apples are treated with radioactive gamma rays to appear fresher.
Today, some conventionally grown apples are treated with radioactive gamma rays (yes, low levels of radiation) to extend shelf life and make them appear fresher than they really are. [Business News, 6/1/2005]
In fact, irradiation destroys up to 80 percent of an apple’s essential vitamins A, B2, B3, B6, C, E, and K, as well as thiamin, folic acid, and even essential fatty acids and amino acids.
3. Crops are ‘genetically-modified’ (GM) to grow better.
To create more drought-and pest-resistant crops, engineers insert bacteria, viruses, plant or animal cells and even human genes into seeds…but at what risk? [truefoodnetwork.com]
For example, GM crops are designed to withstand herbicides…so farmers growing GM soybeans are using 2-5 times more herbicides than growers of natural varieties. GM crops easily pollinate with related weeds, creating ’super weeds’ that are resistant to top-seling herbicides…forcing farmers to use more toxic herbicides.
Shockingly, U.S. food manufacturers are NOT required to put “genetically modified” on any food labels! This leave us in the dark. In fact, according to the International Food Information Council, 62 percent of Americans surveyed said they knew ‘a little or nothing at all’ about genetic engineering of foods.
But as you’ll see in a moment, ‘the Feast’ gives you REAL whole food-based nutrition from organic and naturally grown fruits, berries, greens, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and sprouts, just as Nature intended - free of the dangers of biotech engineering and genetic modification.
Another reason why today’s common fruits and vegetables are nowhere near the quality of your grandmother’s is the shockingly poor vitamin and mineral content found in today’s conventionally grown produce. Since the late 1950’s, the nutritional content of America’s conventionally grown fruits and vegetables has declined, often significantly.
Dr. Donald Davis, a biochemist at the University of Texas, noted that the USDA tracked 13 major nutrients in garden crops from 1950 to 1999 and found six with noticeable declines. Of these, a 38 percent drop in riboflavin…a 15 percent drop in iron…and a 20 percent drop in vitamin C stand out.
Nutritionist Alex Jack found even more shocking evidence when he compared USDA food tables from 1963 to those of 2000, as reported in Life Extension [March 2001]. He found the following: 50% less calcium in broccoli and carrots, 88% less iron in watercress, 45% less vitamin C in spinach, 51.5% less potassium in collard greens, and 66% less iron in apples, oranges, and apricots. SHOCKING!
WHY such poor nutritional content in our produce today?“
