'Spoiled soil' is nowhere near the whole story, and fertiliser is nowhere near everything a plant needs.
This article comes with a whole new simulator: Magnesium's way from field through wheat into the body and out again: Where it comes from, how much is absorbed, how much gets lost and where.

Why modern turbo-bread burdens the body - and why the lockdown sourdough craze accidentally got it right: long fermentation pre-digests what the gut cannot.

• Superior Protein and B-Vitamins: While rye is a champion at slowing down blood sugar spikes (it has a very low glycemic index), spelt blows rye out of the water when it comes to raw protein content and essential B-vitamins, containing nearly 40% more protein per serving than rye grain. -

🌾 Spelt vs. Rye• Significantly Cleaner Intestinal Comfort: Rye is incredibly high in specialized fibers called fructans and FODMAPs. While great for a healthy gut microbiome, rye can act like a bomb for anyone prone to gas, cramps, or IBS. Spelt is much easier to digest and provides high nutritional absorption without the gastrointestinal heavy-lifting that dense wholemeal rye demands.

Better Mineral Density: Because it's an ancient grain with deep root capabilities, spelt naturally pulls more micronutrients from the soil. It contains higher concentrations of zinc, iron, magnesium, copper, and particularly Niacin (Vitamin B3), which helps convert your food into steady energy. -
2/
Higher Protein and Amino Acids: Spelt packs a higher protein punch than standard wheat (roughly 14.5% compared to wheat’s 11%). More importantly, it contains higher levels of key amino acids like proline (essential for collagen and joint recovery) and glutamine (which supports gut barrier function). -

• The Gluten Structure is Different: Spelt absolutely contains gluten, so it is still a no-go for anyone with celiac disease. However, its gluten matrix is much weaker, more water-soluble, and more brittle than the highly resilient gluten bred into modern bread wheat. This is why many people who experience mild bloating or "wheat fatigue" find that spelt is far gentler on their digestive system. -

Animals get sick when they're fed stuff that they shouldn't eat. Hence:
Don't feed the animals!
What are they getting sick with? The same noncommunicable diseases that humans get more and more, while they're following the nutritional guidelines...

Something both the #Hopi and #Romans (and other cultures) shared -- using plant-based ashes in food and medicine!
#GladiatorGatorade? Ancient Athletes Had A Recovery Drink, Too
by Maria Godoy, October 27, 2014
Excerpt: "#PlantAshes were evidently consumed to fortify the body after physical exertion, and to promote better bone healing,' Fabian Kanz, a forensic anthropologist at the Medical University of Vienna who led the research, said in a statement. 'Things were similar then to what we do today."
"Evidence for this ancient dietary supplement comes from a second-century cemetery for gladiators in what was once the great Roman city of Ephesus, in modern-day Turkey. Kanz and his colleagues have been studying the remains buried there to unravel how these athletes lived. To figure out what they ate, the researchers examined the remains of 22 gladiators using stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratio analysis.
"Carbon can tell us about the plants these people ate, while nitrogen offers hints of their animal protein consumption. The gladiators were eating a pretty varied diet, the analysis showed. Some went heavier on the #grains and #greens; some ate more meat.
"When the same tests were run on the remains of 31 regular folks from that era and region, they found the same sorts of variation. In other words, gladiators seemed to be eating the same way as everyone else.
"But the researchers also decided to look at the trace elements of strontium and calcium in those old bones. And that's where a huge difference jumped out. Compared with the regular Joes, the gladiators had a much larger ratio of strontium to calcium.
" 'This is strong evidence that the gladiators were consuming something high in calcium to replenish their calcium stores that other people weren't and that didn't show up in the isotopes,' says Kristina Killgrove, a biological anthropologist at the University of West Florida who studies imperial Rome through ancient bones.
"The researchers wondered: If the gladiators weren't eating more meat than their contemporaries, then where was this calcium boost coming from? A nearly 2,000-year-old encyclopedia offered a tantalizing clue.
"In his #NaturalisHistoria, published in the first century, #PlinyTheElder wrote: 'Your #hearth should be your #MedicineChest. Drink #lye made from its ashes, and you will be cured. One can see how gladiators after a combat are helped by drinking this.'
"Using ash in food and medicine wasn't limited to the Romans. The #Hopis used ash from burned plant leaves and pea pods to prepare #BlueCornmeal foods like #PikiBread and #BivilvikiDumplings. The ash provided essential elements like #calcium, #manganese, #copper and #iron."

#RockportME - 2nd Annual SEED FEST
April 11 @ 9:30 AM – 1:30 PM
"The #RockportPublicLibrary will host its second annual SEED FEST on Saturday, April 11. This free, family-friendly event will take place on the upper and lower levels of the library. From 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., visitors can browse educational exhibits and activities covering #SeedStarting, #pollinators, #SoilHealth, #Composting, #NativePlants, #HeirloomVegetables, growing #rice and #grains in #Maine, #Wabanaki #FoodSovereignty, and much more!
"At 12:30 p.m., Petra Page-Mann of #FruitionSeeds will deliver an interactive keynote presentation. Page-Mann and her nonprofit seed company are strong advocates of 'gift culture,' which involves giving away seeds to promote food cultivation and community building. This ethos aligns perfectly with the theme of SEED FEST.
"The event is generously sponsored by the Rockport Library Foundation and is organized in partnership with several organizations, listed alphabetically: Herbal Hummingbird Hub, Knox Lincoln County Beekeepers, Knox-Lincoln Soil and Water Conservation District, Maine Grains and Maine Grain Alliance, Maine Heirloom Seed Network, Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association [#MOFGA], #MaineRiceProject at Ararat Farms, #MerryspringNatureCenter, #Niweskok: From the Stars to Seeds, Roots n Shoots, #UMaineCooperativeExtension, and #WildSeedProject.
"The exhibiting partners will provide valuable information, hands-on activities, items for sale, and an abundance of free seeds and seedlings. Additionally, #midcoast artist Katharine Cartwright’s beautiful #BotanicalPaintings will be showcased in the library’s lower level for a month-long exhibition titled 'In My Garden.' "
