This is very much a mess of our own making.
gm foods are one of the problems with our diets and chemical ferts(monsantos gm corn with the bt chemical in it or roundup). one reason i think this is, back in the day when we didnt use chem ferts, pesticides, herbisides, our food plants would naturally fight off diesease and become stronger generation to generation. with all this impure stuff it destroyes the plant immune system and most all the living biology. on top of that, with all the chem ferts in the plant, the plant doesnt have all the nutritional value that human bodies were used to for thousands of years.since the plant doesnt have all the nutritional value that human bodies are used to, our cells dont get the nutritional value they need and they tell our bodies we need more food so we can get that last bit of nutrition
