In India, cattle grazing fields are cut to half, cattles are decreasing in quantity, still there is milk revolution, how? Go to one of the village and ask someone who has cows/buffaloes. Ask them how much they eat for and how much milk they produce, you will get your answer if they are injecting their cattles or not. In villages, milk is procured from the farmers around 16 to 20 rs per liter, which goes to nearest dairy farm where it is packed and transported to cities. The cattle feed comes at 20 to 25 rupees per bunch in village and in city, it comes at 50 rupees per bunch. Cow/buffalo gives not more than 5 to 7 liters of milk per day. There are other costs which involves cattle rearing. So you think farmers are just rearing their cattles in losses for us? Nowadays, new breed of cow has entered into India, known as HF cows, which gives more than 10 liters of milk per day. Come to chickens: A normal hen gain weight in 1 year to 1.5 kg if she is not caged. How come poultry make hens 2 kg in just 25 days?

A must read by all parents....Those who think milk cannot be adulterated... http://www.mid-day.com/news/2013/jun/110613-banned-drug-injected-into-cattle-is-poisoning-your-milk.htm

Thanks Madhuri. I will continue to answer if anyone has any queries and i will share whatever info i have with me.

I had one video of vegetable seeds made with DNA of some animal, which I saw in Krishi Vigyan Kendra Baramati, but I am not able to locate in my system. As soon as I get that, I will put that on here.

Thanks Saket, I think I have a good amount of videos to see and learn. Do you want to write a good article for the parents here about the knowledge you have as I am definitely sure you can do a great job.

Madhuri, I will give you one nice example. Ask any farmer about fenugreek leaves. Search for normal production cycle of that particular vegetable and then enquire locally in your nearby villages, you will come to know how it is grown. Insects and pests are more intelligent than human. They are not bound by books for their intelligence. They will eat only those things which has nutrition in it. We human can eat anything which are look alike. :)

Watch every video if possible and search for more too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFUr5OdDgwU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A60jHzbT9hE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f-brCux67I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H62KzZBrrV4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zba9m0nVEaQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4UUwWm6kus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv8Tv7hTj-E

Nice article on organic vegetables. It is good that people are going the organic way nowadays. Being from a farmer family, I would like to put some light on organic/heirloom/hybrid vegetables. Organic only means the vegetables which are grown in an organic way, without any harmful chemicals. It can be any seed, traditional heirloom, hybrid, or GMO seed. The seed used in growing vegetables makes the change in our health. If it is hybrid seed, then it might be genetically modified also. In India, organic means vegetables grown with cowdung manure or manure from poultry or other animals. People are still not aware about the difference between hybrid seeds and heirloom seeds. If you remember in our childhood days, our parents used to keep some seeds out of some dry vegetables so that they can be sown next season. Those were traditional heirloom seeds. Now, things have changed. Heirloom seeds are not available in the market easily and farmers do not use them to produce cash crops because there is very low produce from them and it needs continuous watering, which becomes expensive, but they do grow it for their own family. If you think that you are eating any desi vegetable compared to hybrid, then you are fooling yourself. Our research institutes have come up with vegetables, which look like desi, but has no desi feature or taste. If you remember, earlier bees were required to fertilize the flower of any plant to produce the fruit. Now, there are no bees available, so the research institutes have invented new seeds which does not require bees to produce the fruit. You can google it, how the new hybrid seeds produce fruit and what DNA it contains. We are what we eat. If we are eating food which is totally artificial, then god knows where our generation is heading towards? So, my request to all organic eaters is whenever you ask any farmer or any shop, do not just ask for organic, ask for traditional heirloom vegetables. There are many agencies which are encouraging farmers to save their traditional seeds as they are the real treasure of our country. One of the agency I know is ANNADANA in Bangalore. Please do visit their farm once in your lifetime and you will come to know the difference between real and fake vegetables. You drink milk. You think your milk is very healthy. Cows and buffaloes are fed on hybrid Napier grass. Cows and buffaloes are given pitocin injection to stimulate milk glands. I am not saying that everyone in this world is doing this, but we need to be more aware of what actually we are eating.

Wow, I loved all the wonderful information you have written here. Can you help me with that hybrid seed DNA url , I would want to learn more.

Hi Madhuri , I wrote a nail to the I'd u mentioned. But no reply from them. I'm very much interested in buying organic veggies and lentils for my kids. Need your help in this.

hmm. they told me too many mails n only one person to manage. if u want i will forward u a link for placing order.

Dear Madhurie, Thanks for the article. I also love and belive to be natural way of living. But is it true that the organic veg or fruits are costly to buy?

Ofcourse it is true that organic vegetables are expensive as there are very few buyers. 

yes it is true and very dangerous to use plastic.

You can have a difference of opinion but i know the requirement of vitamins as the tests say and lot many researchers are there.I learn but dont overclaim.These are reading and observations suggested by highly researched doctors. i have seen a girl of 3 months with Cerebral Palsy has recovered and is properly walking at the age of 15 months with regular students in normal school due to these supplements.A person undergone Knee replacement has opted for this later to the operation for the second knee did not require it.I believe it and recommend it.:)

:) I truely believe the examples of the girl with cerebral palsy, knee surgery, as these NEEDED such high dosage of therapeutic supplements. The point I am trying to make is that normal people do not need the supplements if their food is of good quality. :) I also believe the Glucosamine from Amway is a really good supplement but only for those who have arthritic tendencies or suffering from joint pains. When we start taking too many supplements, A) The body starts depending on the external sources. B) Most of the normal and healthy people need just enough from the food unless malnutrition-ed or poor diet. The excess of supplements goes down the drain. The girl with cerebral palsy would have been with an excellent doctor and physiotherapist who would have to spend 1-2 hours daily making her do exercises to get such results. Though 3 months is little hard to believe. I have been with such kids and trust me it takes years of hard work, patience and loads of physical exercise which give slow recovery. Knee pain also goes away in not less than 6 months with right glucosamine or chondroitin sulphate, chloride or sulphate is also to be tested as individuals react to different salts differently.

Greentokri is also a good option.Home delivery twice a week.Quality is good and charges are little expensive.Go to their website and order veggies/fruits.Depending on your area,the order will reach.

Hi,I've gone for studying the subject in detail on vitamins and kids food eating.Body pollution and supplement requirement in human.Met several nutritionists in Pune and Mumbai.Have contacted Nutrilite,important resource of supplement provider and have seen they make the products/supplements.Quite expensive but all good for my son.Simply giving fruits and vegetables are not completing our requirement.For e.g. having 11 bananas,6 eggs,400 gms dates,700gms palak,parsley and more everyday is not sufficient. His portions were incomplete so we all started with the supplements and amazing results in 3 weeks time.Protein,Vitamin,Iron and Calcium contents have increased and our energy levels too.As a result, i m going for certification and have become Amway supplier and consumer to enjoy all the updates in the company to keep my and all families known to me healthy.

Amway is an multi level marketing company. The products that they sell are exorbitantly high priced. I am totally against the idea of believing that any human body will need the kind of supplements needed as mentioned in your comment. The human body is the most complex yet the smartest machine on earth. And it has the ability to survive in the absence of many important nutrition too. It can survive when tiny amount of these supplements are given through the natural food items. It compensates for many deficiencies in the way no one can comprehend. So it is just a marketing gimmick of using heavy data to scare innocent people to start buying their products. If something is really so great, they should be distributing it through the normal marketing channels via nutritionists, doctors and pharmacies. I am sorry but I do not buy such claims that one needs to eat 11 bananas,6 eggs,400 gms dates,700gms palak,parsley and more everyday is not sufficient. Let me tell you that our fabulous body needs very little of these and even when eaten once a month or a week, it makes best use of it. The rest of it is passed out through the urine or stool. So all that expensive product one consumes if no good for the drain too. So when we eat a simple meal of rice, roti, vegetables its more than enough as each of them have most of the nutrition needed. Its important to eat variety as each vegetable and fruit, each type of grains and daal have something different which gives all that our body needs. Amway and such mlms lure the people into making easy buck by enrolling them and then force members to buy their expensive products in order to remain in the system. Then they have no choice but to buy and sell to other people known to them. I have read a book by the emerald distributor of Amway who was bankrupt and his son killed as he exposed the inside story of Amway. Later by using money and power Amway managed to retract the book from the shelf and internet. I would expect that Amway should produce the same highly nutritional supplements in mass and sell it cheaper if they really cared for the health of the people. Yes things like Vitamin D is not found in food so sunlight and supplements can be taken. But thinking that Amway health products are the answer to the healthy living is baseless.

Hi Madhuri,I've been in touch with the person who has his own land in Pavana village. We visited their modern huts and have seen organic farming. Hunting more on Supplements required.Have gone thru the Amway organic making of these supplements and dangerous results of synthetic supplements.I am happy that i am doing something good for my family by giving them organic food and all required supplements.Books and CDs and talking to USA certified nutritionist was an intesresting experience.My child's haemoglobin has improved from 8 to 13.7 in a month.I am also happy going organic... :)

Excellent! The health and happiness of a family is in the hands of the lady of the house. You can make everyone healthy or not by choosing right food, habits and happiness. Being educated mothers makes it easy and possible to achieve a healthy family. Do let me know about your search for supplements. I give my sons only Calcium Carbonate with Vit D and then rely on food. Beet root and green salad must whether they cry or sulk. I give them choice between two healthy things like eat beet root or capsicum, or eat one slice(thick) of beetroot or two. :), drink milk or eat egg, eat roti or rice, eat curds or lassi. That way its win win always.

They are called Gorus. Let me get their number or email Id for you.

DO they supply at Kalyaninagar.

Hi Madhurie can you tell the name of the supplier of Organic food?
