will we be able to eat fresh naturally grown vegetables 50 years from now?

Yes indeed of course we will.  In fact growing vegetables naturally and eating them close to where they are grown so that they are still fresh is ultimately cheaper and easier than any sort of artificial growth or long distance transportation or any kind of preserving once the real costs of other methods are added in.  I'd expect more of it in 50 years rather than less.

Frozen is better. That's as close as you're getting to fresh. Canned veggies are processed and can be high in sodium and other things not good for you. Good luck with your new life plan!

When purchased from a grocery store, frozen vegetables are as nutritious and sometimes more nutritious than fresh fruits and veggies.  The reason is that fresh fruits have been sitting for several days in transit before they reach the store and then usually sit for a few days in your house, that whole time, they are losing nutritional value.  \n\nFrozen veggies are usually packed frozen shortly after being picked and therefore maintain their nutritional value.  Studies have shown this, check out the link below.  \n\nCanned vegetables can have similar nutritional value preservation, but some compounds like vitamin C break down during the heating process in canning.  \n\nFresh fruits have historically been viewed as being most nutritious, and it is true if you grow it yourself, pick and eat.  But if you're heading to a grocery store, head for the frozen foods for nutrition.

for a long time if we hurry and grow up and learn responsible, sustainable living practices.  no more two kids per family, no more mcdonalds, no more flushing my toilet that uses 0.8 gallons of perfectly fine potable water per flush.  neither buying goods imported from anywhere, we would have to make things for ourselves, or at least keep things local.  no more tritium seeping out of our reactors.  producing our own food, namely agricultual goods, instead of relying on corporate greed.  our 1 person per vehicle goingto work everyday thing would have to stop, and a revolutionary mass transportation system developed.  FUSION would have to be viable, because we cannot keep on the path of mining our earth for things we just use up like coal, oil, titanium, gold, diamonds.  i'm not saying we would have to go back to our hunter/gatherer roots, but our disposable lifestyles need to be halted.  we could be a civilized planet that makes due with moderation with the basics.  but if we continue the way we are right now, the very, very wealthy people/families (saudi royal family for example) will engineer a mass kill off (big war) so that they can stay in power on a suitable living sphere.  the human race is compareable to a 72 hour bacterial culture in a petri dish.......we will use up our resources within 72 hours, and at the same time be producing toxins that will kill/mutate us (our own poop, our man made chemicals, etc.)  fusion, and a little help from aliens, and we could change everything.  hope is what i've got; that we will figure it out sooner rather than later.  keep learning, knowledge is pure power.

depending on your intake of of vitamin K (green leafy veg.), it should about a week.

yes, if the rest of your food is healthy (fruit and veggies, whole grains)

Yeah, we can manupulate plant genome as per our requirement.  we can inoculate plant with  gene responsible for producing fruits for all months.....its called "gene manupulation" which makes impossible to possible.

Regardless of what you think of glycoscience, I'm afraid that the concept of a healthy diet is a fallacy. Even people with a perfect diet...and how many people can honestly say that?...will still have difficulty attaining the ideal level of nutrients for vibrant health.\n\nWhy?...3 reasons:\n\n1. Because we ship food all over the country, farmers must "green harvest." That means they pick fruits/vegetables before they have achieved their ideal level of ripeness.\n2. Even if you buy your produce from local farmers' markets, there is a very small window where the produce has the optimal level of nutrients. You pick too soon, the nutrients haven't developd yet. You wait too long...to pick...or eat...the produce, the nutrient levels start to degrade.\n3. Our soils are depleted of nutrients from over-farming and not rotating crops to allow nutrient levels to come back up.\n\nSo, you want to eat as good a diet as possible, so you are not adding unnecessary processed foods, additives, pesticides, etc., to your body to deal with. BUT supplementation (preferably green sourced supplements) is still necessary to achieve the OPTIMAL level of nutrients that our diets just can't provide anymore.

Cant rule out the possibility. \nBut..... based on currently available technology its very unlikely  within the next 50 to100 years. Definitely not in our life time.

YES!!!!ALL VEG.ESPECIALLY GREENS ARE THE BEST.THEY DO CONTAIN SOME NATURAL SUGAR BUT THATS O.K.(ACCORDING TO MY DOCTOR)

absolutely!!! it grows naturally!!! not like it's cooked up in some meth lab somewhere. doesn't kill you, either.

the time should be about 50 years!

There are no known dangers.\n\nOf course, the anti science crowd will say "but how do you know in x number of years problems wont come up?".\n\nAnd of course, the proper answer to that is "therefor by your argument, we should never produce a single innovation because none of us can see 50 years in the future and give 100% assurance that there will not be a single side effect from this".\n\nOf course no one wants to do that, they're just interested in surpressing science.  It's easy enough to have that opinion in this country where there aren't food shortages and nutrition isn't an issue.  It's a lot harder to feel that way if you consider how many people have those problems.\n\nBut hey, lets give up all technology because in 50 or 100 years we might find out about adverse affects from its use.  They should start their abstention from technology with the internet.

Feasible (sp?), perhaps. Evolution to adapt to the environment will certainly take place. Obviously no one can say for sure that will happen, especially since we don't know what would genetically change.\n\nBut even so, that'll be a couple thousand years from now. Personally, I'm not concerned.

Hello. Welcome to our country. Please leave all fruit, veggies, and non-legal family members in the land you came from. Thank you.
