vitamins

i saw an interesting programme on TV the other day, which taught me this: 

- in order to get the same amount of vitamin C from apples as one did on 1950, we'd have to eat 100 apples today! 

-  in order to get the same amount of vitamin A from oranges as one did on 1950, we'd have to eat 21 today!

- in general, our food (from meat to vegetables) has lost about 63% of their vitamin content since 1950.

ah, the joys of industrial farming...
