There is so much wrong with this that I don't even know where to begin. You don't know jack about pesticide residues, about spraying drift, about big ag, about soil microorganisms, about nutrient density… the list goes on. Clickbait trash that is biased to the point of lunacy and a prime example of the internet making people stupider.

All food are literally organic, except water and table salt. Look up what compounds they consist of.

I read an interesting article in Scientific American about organic foods and the pesticides used. It stated that there is one pesticide derived from a plant that has a compound that is also used in lakes to kill off invasive fish. It kills fish and because it is "natural", as in plant derived it is therefore it's ok to spray on crops and label it organic. Scary stuff, it's all about money plan and simple. I doubt that organic is always better, even if at all.

Organic foods are dangerous? 😂😂😂😂😂 dude, get on a manufacturer and GMOs foods and see what happens. Organic are much better and way more and the nutrition value is higher they have studies and proved that eating organic is better.

I’m a farmer. The cheaper the veggies the closer and more stressed out the plants are and more chemicals they need to survive. Just like chicken, cheap chickens are very stressed out and the living conditions are absolutely disgusting so they need to live their entire lives eating antibiotics so they won’t die. I would buy organic if I could afford it.
It’s pretty sad because this also relates with humans too 😢

What would you say about a proper organic farmer who build up super soil dense in organic nutrients derived from chicken manure or worm castings and kelp meal? Most organic farmers I know use 100% organic super soil that they let decompose, building this soil means that the use of chemical fert or pesticides is not needed as the organic healthy decomposed soil does not attract insects such as bad quality soil which does, anyways organic proper natural is always going to be better. One slight critism with this video is instead of focusing on organic you've actually just said that no one grows proper organic and that's not true, I would have preferred to hear the proper info behind 100% natural organic super soil rather than hearing about fake farmers who claim they grow organic when they clearly don't aha. Anyways great video guys as always, stay healthy and wealthy 💯💯👍🫡

True organic farming of the future will require 5 elements:
Food wastes + manures + dead bugs (dead pests are excellent 👌) + live worms + natural pesticides

Organic farms are not more harmful to anything compared to the conventional way. Really misleading overall. Washed over many factors. Round up unfortunately causes cancer.

Unfortunately, for some who have reactions to some of the synthetic chemicals used for non-organic foods (and it being hard to isolate which ones specifically cause it since there are so many), organic and preservative-free food is the best way to go. But it's also freaking expensive for less food… That being said, it has helped get rid of: acid reflux, heart palpitations, and shortness of breath / throat clearing after eating (except when usually eating from restaurants or delivery–but that's unavoidable unless you never eat out again). Eating organic and preservative free helps me not feel as sick as I used to. But again, mine was more of a chemical allergy. But I had heard before that some people said organic isn't always good for you since you don't know what that person means by organic. You're right. Not everything "natural" is good for you. Look at arsenic, for example. It's natural, but really not good for you. (But as far as nutrition, if you want higher nutrition, you shouldn't buy foreign foods or foods that had to be shipped from any distance–since nutrition begins to die almost immediately after plucking it. Unfortunately, in the United States, with farming in decline, imports on the rise, and community groceries not generally offering locally grown produce, that makes things difficult…)

Common sense here. You have to weigh the benefits of organic vs. conventional farming practices. More land needed for organic. Does anyone think that people in countries where food is scarce care if the food they eat is grown organically or conventionally? Kind of like electric car owners smug outlook towards conventional car owners. When they plug in their cars to recharge at night, where do they think the electricity is coming from to charge their cars? Fossil fuels or nuclear. Wind does not always blow and solar does not work at night. Just the facts, ma’am.

What I gather from this video: Organic is not really that great for you.
Solution: buy organic aged and wilted (to bring down nutrition to conventional level) and spray with some roach poison and bring it to high conventional standard, especially the kind sold at Wholefoods (90% of food sold at Wholefoods is conventional :))!
Problem Solved!
Don't grow a garden, because it may expose you to many viruses! Ha ha!

People forget that you can grow organic from there garden. Thats how you avoid cancer and be healthy. learn from the past how they lived longer then this day and age. Simple Logic.

Make sure they eat organic food. Look into "Atrazine – Tyrone Hayes" it's an herbicide that has bee used for the last 50 years. 80 million pounds of Atrazine are used a year. This has led to the environment being so saturated with Atrazine that now, 500,000 lbs of Atrazine comes down in rain fall each year in the USA.
Atrazine is an indocrine blocker . It turns males into females by blocking male testosterone. Dr Hayes was able to turn a male frog into an offspring producing female frog with ONLY 3% of what the US government allows to be used in food, and landscaping. It was banned in the EU but no one else is banning Atrazine. I believe it is the reason for so many trans

If you look up organic there is a list of videos like these bashing organic. Organic food is a big threat to the pharmaceutical industries who rely on disease to make money. I know these videos are produced to confuse people.

You can remove mostly ALL pesticides from organic fruits and veggies with baking soda for 10-15 mins of soaking. GMOs are created with pesticides inside them that cannot be removed with baking soda. when it comes to organic potato chips 99.9% of the time it is a better choice than top name brand like Doritos for chips; MOST not all have like 2 ingredients vs 20……..its all about the ingredients very important….. you have failed to mention the most important info about what's wrong with gmos lol. Genetic engineering creates dangerous side effects.
"By mixing genes from totally unrelated species, genetic engineering unleashes a host of unpredictable side effects. Moreover, irrespective of the type of genes that are inserted, the very process of creating a GM plant can result in massive collateral damage that produces new toxins, allergens, carcinogens, and nutritional deficiencies."
"GMOs cross pollinate and their seeds can travel. It is impossible to fully clean up our contaminated gene pool. Self-propagating GMO pollution will outlast the effects of global warming and nuclear waste. The potential impact is huge, threatening the health of future generations. GMO contamination has also caused economic losses for organic and non-GMO farmers who often struggle to keep their crops pure."
"The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), doesn’t require a single safety study, does not mandate labeling of GMOs, and allows companies to put their GM foods onto the market without even notifying the agency. Their justification was the claim that they had no information showing that GM foods were substantially different. But this was a lie. Secret agency memos made public by a lawsuit show that the overwhelming consensus even among the FDA’s own scientists was that GMOs can create unpredictable, hard-to-detect side effects. "
GM crops and their associated herbicides can harm birds, insects, amphibians, marine ecosystems, and soil organisms. They reduce bio-diversity, pollute water resources, and are unsustainable. For example, GM crops are eliminating habitat for monarch butterflies, whose populations are down 50% in the US. Roundup herbicide has been shown to cause birth defects in amphibians, embryonic deaths and endocrine disruptions, and organ damage in animals even at very low doses. GM canola has been found growing wild in North Dakota and California, threatening to pass on its herbicide tolerant genes on to weeds."
There is so much that needs to be addressed about the harmful reality about eating gmos….. God bless
