The use of synthetic fertilizers in the short term might produce what appears to be abundant growth and large-sized produce, but in the course of this process commercial growers add chemicals that upset the soil’s ecological balance and thus the natural harmony between the plants and the soil. The plants become overstimulated and hurried in their growth when forced to mature too rapidly. The natural rhythm of their metabolism is disrupted so that they fail to fully transform their starches and acids into their normal plant sugars. They also fail to absorb valuable minerals. This problem is compounded by the common commercial practice of picking the fruits and vegetables before they are ripe so they can be shipped with minimal loss of produce. Because of this, most commercial fruits and vegetables are not ripe when they reach our kitchen tables. Not only does the produce have less taste, but some of the produce tends to be acid- rather than alkaline- producing in the body. These foods usually are deficient in nutrients, and their resistance to disease is decreased. When humans eat these less vital plants, we also become less vital and more prone to disease.
