Raw Almond Controversy with Seth Leaf and the Health Ranger

[edstar83]

I'm drinking fresh homemade almond milk right now.

[5131030]

Ahhhh!!! Get a job, you lazy hippie!!!!!!

[edstar83]

@5131030 LOL You use the word hippie like an insult. Hippie's stand for peace and love. Respect for Animals and Nature. The world needs more hippie's less people like you.

[shakaama]

bottom line, you need to lawyer up.

[MrSjgguiuo]

Almondie Butter is raw 100%. We employ cold compress procedure and peeling process so it is not cooked guaranteed. We have a procedure to eliminate contamination and we do not use chemicals. Our products are certified and we ensure our product can live with every word put on the label.

[walidb123]

almond hippies. woo!!!

[sethleaf8]

Only in the old fashion definition of the word. Yes, I'm very happy!

[paulagloria]

crazy what is happening in CA but they pumped 140 million into prop 19 too

[UnoRaza]

It is CRIMINAL that any corp can pollute via a corporate 'false flag' poisoning and create a whole new industry selling FOOD NUKERS.

This is outrageous to leave our food supply open to their corporate fascist games!

Going into a depression they want to take control of the food supply via SB 510!

PLEASE HELP TORCH THIS SB 510 !

[RochelleHansonMusic]

OK this is actually blowing my mind. i've really been getting into almonds lately. especially almond butter. Just read the label on the jar i had in my fridge. It was made in the USA. I bought it cause it said raw. now i realize that it isnt. it's been pasteurized and probably with chemicals... which would explain the fresh pimple on my cheek. i was wondering how it got there... my body is trying to get rid of the toxins. i'm not impressed. i bought 4 jars of the stuff cause it was on sale.

[RochelleHansonMusic]

WOW. I'm new to raw foods. had no idea. And i eat almonds all the time... wow....

[bhibatsu]

And if anyone would care to engage in ad hominem prior to investigation of the facts, I'll say 2 things;

"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance; that is contempt prior to investigation." Herbert Spencer

2nd quote is a bit more famous:

"Forgive them Father, they know not what they do"

[bhibatsu]

To answer your next 2 questions "Who" and "Why"

1) That would be the Illuminati Satan worshipping Talmudic Edom Esau Jews.

2) Because evil always wants to destroy, because it cannot build.

[bhibatsu]

Why are they making living healthy food and raw organic milk illegal?

Uh, you mean you never heard of the Georgia Guiding Stones?

Sheesh, you got a lotta edu-ma-cating and waking up to do.

bibliotecapleyades (.) net/sociopolitica/sociopol_geo­rgiaguidestones.htm

[bhibatsu]

gnarsky and generatrix999 are partially correct, a sickly population is a more profitable population or "human resource" to Big Pharma, and the illness-industry.

But you both missed the bigger picture.

This is about population control, this is about an exponentially exploding global population, and the condescension, apathy and pure hatred that wealthy elite global banksters have towards little people. Do you have any idea what the average sperm count in males today is compared to 60 years ago

[organicfarmchick]

I'm not sure where most of you guys are from but, you are allowed to buy 100 lbs., per day, per person-directly from the grower. Get a van, take a roadtrip to the grower, and get your fill of true RAW ORGANIC ALMONDS. No need to argue amongst yourselves. If you want to HELP the cause: look up the Cornicopia Institute and help them take a stand. Some growers have tested the almonds even before the mandate. Now they are tested 2, sometimes 3 X's before going out to the public.

[ninjarites]

Can I buy these from a Europe based store??

[loraxpro]

Where did you shoot this video? It seems like you were at Harmony Festival. If so, I was there too!

Keep up the great work!

[puppeteye]

america is fkd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! junk food!!! no zero point energy!!!

patriot act!!! america is the new fourth-reich nazi germany!

you better wake up!!!.

[conquesimo]

I enjoyed this video. Does anyone else believe that when government creates regulations, that big companies with a lot to gain inevitably co-opt/influence the regulating agencies to serve their own purposes? The official term is called "regulatory takeover," and it wouldn't surprise me if the sole intention of this almond board was to shut down the budding competition.

[Gr8stuffis]

ZAPP.. there have been many cases of salmonella poisoning in foods that have been cooked and canned. So I don't follow your argument at all.

What does improper processing from conventional almond growers and packers, much like factory farms, have to do with organic standards?

SETH, had anyone been with a Spanish almond from picking to the shelves here? If they are allowing us to have truly raw almonds, there has to be a catch. Irradiation along the chain of transport? growing standards?

[Gr8stuffis]

People of little understanding use the argument that the almond is the same, dead or alive. I offer this, by way of comparison. You walk into a room and your family member is sleeping. Ok?

Walk into that room 5 minutes later and your family member is dead. They might look the same, smell the same, and have the same nutritional content as they did a 5 minutes earlier. But would you agree that something is missing? It is not the food in your life as much as the LIFE in your food that counts.

[sethleaf]

Wow, Zapp, clearly you have a personal issue with me and for that there is nothing I can do. Obviously your pride couldn't let go of it either thats why you just responded. Hey maybe we can play nice at daycare?

[sethleaf]

Zapp, how long have you been on the Almond Board for?

[mikethecoder]

this man's nuts are goddamn delicious (i know, thats what she... nevermind). but seriously, stop complaining and buy some theyre amazing.

[mkings20]

i dont understand how his nuts are raw if he cooks them at a temperature of 110- 115 degrees for 5-7days...i thought natural enzymes start to break down at 106degrees....why dont any farmers just grow food completely naturally???? no process at all, completely the way the plants were meant to grow.....oh thats right becuase the world is overpopulated and people would starve....im growing my own food from now on...

[Zapparific]

Seth is a living nut who is clearly making up his facts as he goes along.

Bone head remarks like the "Almond Board is owned by Blue Diamond" ( afarmer's co-op BTW) is just stupid. ABC is an arm of the US Agriculture Dept. US citizens own the Almond Board!

Seth sound like he's been smoking the living weed.

[sethleaf]

Zappariffic, actually I do not smoke weed or do any drugs at all. Thats why I run 4 different business and have created massive abundance for myself since I was 20. Sounds like you are also guilty of making up the facts as you go along. Turn the finger around and judge yourself! I also realize that there is way more going on behind the scenes then you or the public has any idea about. What makes you an expert? Excuse me for assuming that corporate welfare dominates CSA.

[Zapparific]

Seth -

I am glad that you do not smoke weed but you did not address the substance of my remarks - that you are wrong to say that Blue Diamond, a co-operative of 3500 Cal. farming families controls the Almond Board of California. The Almond Board is a branch of the US Ag Dept. and you as a citizen are as responsible for its actions as anyone.

You can justify not voting however you choose. It is your right. But don't abdicate responsibility, then whine about results.

[sethleaf]

Yeah, I am responsible as a citizen but I am not on the board and I do not make decisions for the ABC. When this mandate was passed only 18 people signed for it and all 18 were members of the ABC. It seems that outside people had no clue that this was going on. So?? What makes you so sure you knew what the entire ruling was truly all about, Zapparific?

[sethleaf]

Also, I just listened to this again. I should have said controlled not owned, my bad. Honestly I did not have my body of research available to me because I had no idea that I was going to do this interview or that it would go on youtube. This was a casual chat with a friend that got posted for 20,000 to see. Zap, it would be cool for you to explain how the ABC passed this mandate without any public comment period.

[Zapparific]

Seth - There was a 1 year public comment comment period. As required by law, ABC posted, online, in newspapers and in the Federal Register, its consideration of pastuerizing almonds for public health safety. There had been two salmonella incidents in the prior two years involving raw, unpastuerized almonds that took the lives of 9 people. (There have been none since.)

The ABC voted after consideration of facts & public comments. Only 2 of the 18 people voting were Blue Diamond mgt.

[sethleaf]

Ok Zap, well there is obviously corporate interest playing a massive decision making role. What I want to know is if the ABC has 3500 Cal families involved in the decision making process, how come almost none of the smaller organic almond growers new anything about the comment period? I have spoken with at least 25 different farmers, many who are on the ABC and they had no idea about it. You think I'm whining, you should listen to them, I have heard some actually crying!

[Zapparific]

Seth - The only thing that is obvious in life is the criticality of personal responsibility. If some organic growers did not know about consideration of an issue of such importance to them, "they were asleep at the wheel". That is harsh but Ii can think of no other way to put it.

And, public health safety is an issue that transcends all others and, unfortunately, there is a consequence to all measures securing it.

Some people still insist that wearing car seat belts is an infringement.

[DEBBIEGIBSON22]

@sethleaf seth are you gay?

[thesepipesRclean]

Zapp , I can't believe the way you are crying like a little bitch about this . The citizens of the USA have absolutely no control over the department of agriculture . Not when they invented the ridiculous food pyramid to sell products , and not now . Zapp , it sounds like you are high on pharmaceutical drugs and it makes you rabidly attack random hippies over issues you know nothing about . Go back to reading your Bill Oreilley books .

[Zapparific]

Setting aside your unnecessary and crude personal remarks, I notice that you do not offer one fact to back up what you say.

Impress us (if you can). Cite some facts rebutting my remarks. Good luck.

[luckyfire3]

what do i do? how do i find uncooked raw nuts.

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

CANCER CURE = RICK SIMPSON'S HEMP OIL

[sethleaf]

PonyBoyFan. Actually, I have NEVER cast a vote at any presidential election and have been living off the land since I was a child. Aside from my love and respect for nature and all of its harmonious beings, I am very vigilant and would have no problem defending myself during a socialist invasion. Sure, I vote with my money, but I felt the need to contribute to society in a meaningful way that educates and enlightens. So, if you are human please judge yourself, I'm sure you are full of flaws!

[supabeats]

Are livingnutz available in the UK?

[illuminationhighrock]

what a cutie!

[cfears]

No, Buddy, These White folks are getting crazier, crazier, crazier, and crazier...

Messing up all the food...WHITE FOLK, you can't compete against GOD (ALMIGHTY GOD)...We will only destroy ourselves, STUPID...WTF up...

[Casmige]

Agree with:-

generatrix999

healthy people are not profitable to the health industry.

We need to take back government, get involved. Death to the king! .

How can a People take back "Govt" when the thinking is that People have "Constitutional Rights".

Rights DON'T Originate with a Constitution.

The constitution LIMITS powers of Gov't ...it does NOT Guarantee nor Mandate Rights for "People".

Until this simple lesson is learned, the People remain impotent to *DO* anything, sadly.

[PhotonSherades]

"It's like taking lettuce out of the ground and steaming it before they allow people to eat it." Everyone should look into the irradiation of the US produce that has been happening since August '08. They are doing worse than steaming your lettuce before they are letting you eat it.

[lovekisslaugh]

the day will come when all herbs, vegetables and nuts, basically everything that is healthy and healing is either going to be irradiated or chemically treated they reach our kitchens. We have to unite to stop this.

[EasyHardLivin]

how do you propose to do this.

[lovekisslaugh]

I don't propose to do this and I hope to God it won't happen. However, as you can see in this video it has already begun. Google nutricide to find out more. Your health depends on it mate. Nutricide has been going on for decades, it's finally coming to the surface. Spread the news man there is strenght in numbers.

[EasyHardLivin]

well im gonna start making videos soon so make sure to check em out. its just hard to get motivation to make vids and topics and what not.

[namtaw]

I don't get it. he said that they have to cook the nuts now and that gets rid of the nutrients, but then he described the process he uses and said that they have to cook them also or they would be too hard. What's the difference between the way he cooks them and the way they are cooked by big corps? How (if he does) does he avoid killing nutrients? I get the part about the patuerization method that uses carcinogens. That should be outlawed.

[chrazzi2]

Dehydrating is not the same as cooking. Low temp keeps enzymes/nutrients intact.

[illuminationhighrock]

namtaw, He mentioned that he dehydrates the nuts at the temp of 110-115. Heating food above 116 degrees F is believed to destroy enzymes in food.

[howhowb]

That singer in the background is so off key. So, I am very distracted right now. I plan on ordering your almonds for sure. I will probably order bulk to share with my friends who are equally angry about this. Cannot even buy at whole foods anymore--labeled raw--LIARS!!!

[generatrix999]

Look, healthy people are not profitable to the health industry.

The health care industry is into making money, not working towards a 'healthy' population... well. healthy enough to pay their medical bills.

We need to take back government, get involved. Death to the king!

[SKVPC]

Interesting video, Thanks.

[funnyguise]

the internet rocks!!! Keep the info flowing, friends!!!!

[sedonaheartwalk]

we enjoyed your video with Seth Leaf.

we have met and talked with him and really appreciate the way in which he and his company is putting out a product that is mindfully healthy.

[rebelliontotyrants]

What you have to realize is that truly 'unpasteurized' raw nuts, milk, and honey, contains naturally occurring 'enzymes' that are needed to digest this food without stressing adrenals These unconstitutional laws are a deliberate attempt to increase the chances of disease within a human being. Anything that is not 'pure' from a plant goes against nature and the universe. I cannot help but wonder what agendas those people in government serve that block nature in this way. Pharmaceuticals? mmmm

[finefilth]

This guy looks like a nice man...In touch... Im going to order his products.

[finefilth]

who benefits????  the usual parasitic suspects.

[pam0077]

I went shopping for raw almonds for the 1st time in a couple years, and I'm fuming right now because I can't get unpasteurized raw almonds grown in the USA.

I love how most commercial entities now advertise that their raw almonds are "only lightly steamed on the outside." How insulting. Don't they know that steam forms at no lower than 212F sans an expensive vacuum?

It's ironic the government will now have much less control over the quality and safety of my now imported raw almonds.

[mrchekky]

Hi Health Ranger man. Great vid. Do you know of a way to make almond milk without using a blender.

The speed of the blades in the blender do damage the proteins and other nutrients.

its best to use another method. Ive only just discovered this and am trying to find another way to make almond milk in a more gentle way.

God Bless.

[commonsense2008]

I realized today why I felt sick all the time. I eat tons of "raw almonds" which I found out today aren't 'raw' but toxic. Currently I clean up my system with vaxa tricardia and stay away from almonds. It is fucked guys, and excactly what this guy tells us. Not a conspiracy theory, but a conspiracy reality: called the new world order. Reducing the population by 80%. Sounds "nuts"? So did Hilters plans.

[intentionalsound]

yeah, those idiots with their turkey dung!!! keep that turkey dung away from my almonds .\/. ^

[modemlooper]

two words---FARMERS MARKET!

[purewonka]

No mention if the pasteurization is for both shelled and unshelled almonds.

[ztubs6]

great video- well spoken. A few questions? Is this only illegal in Cali. I am in pennsylvania and I buy almonds that say RAW-are they actually fraud? Also, when he germinates the almond- is that synonomous with sprouting or near-sprouting the almond?thanks

[teresaveg]

I'm grateful for this video. Now I know where we will be buying our nuts in bulk.

[Kitt0000]

So rare to find good food thats actually from nature. Good work.

[thusvine]

nice video, i just tried some of the living nutz and they are so delicious, addictive even, i wasnt expecting much in terms of taste since i just bought the plain almonds but wow delicious!

[gnarsky]

I'll be willing to bet that you cannot sprout a pastuerized almond.

and rearding the government they have to keep us in mediocre to poor health in order to keep big pharm and healthcare business alive.

[lovekisslaugh]

@gnarsky , yes that but mainly, they're killing us. A form of population control. google nutricide, watch it and the documentary the corporation is also very telling.

[jtheis6]

I read that heating at temps above 110-115 degrees Fahrenheit kills the nutrients of food.

[kgtdement]

What a cutie!

[wasy35]

pastuerize almonds...lol...why would they do that....

[BetterSexThroughYoga]

excellent point!

[woodessence]

Thanks Seth ! ...for clearing that up, I can now see your point of view. I did not know that a health food store or small business (like Living Nutz) was considered a "handler". Best of luck and skill in your business!

[woodessence]

You can still buy true Raw certified Organic Almonds (not steamed/fumigated per the new rules) ...direct from Almond growers. The new rules apply only to Almond "handlers". The growers that will sell direct to you are the ones hurt most by the new rules. I urge businesses that depend on Organic Raw Almonds & are buying imports (like LivingNutz) to simultaneously search & source domestic growers, & talk w/ other Organic businesses find ways to support small domestic farmers.

[sethleaf]

Yes I absolutely agree with you but Living Nutz falls into the "handler" category as do all health food stores and anyone who is not buying directly from farmers. I have spent months educating the public about this while neglecting Living Nutz as a result. People need to be proactive and pay attention to the health freedom choices that are being made for them in the same exact way that they need to be responsible for their own health concerns.

[eastender92]

People also need to stop codex alimentarius implementation! I am glad you can get imported nutz now but that isn't a long term solution! Google 'nutricide'.

[sethleaf]

Please, definitly support the small organic farmers that are being hurt the most by this. We wanted to stay domestic but it is legally impossible.

[masta309]

U THE BEST MIKE

U TAUGHT US A LOT

ONE LOVE FROM AUSTRALIA

MOHAMMAD

also thanks to

hsibaltimore com

lol

[ddflowers]

Sounds good, but I just don't know WHO to believe anymore. How would I know if the almonds you import from France and Italy have not been pasteurized or steamed etc... These big companies like Planters or Blue Diamond are aloud to say or label their products any way they want and it sounds good but it's really a lie. Frustrated in Colorado.

[ColinCody]

California Gov. Swartzerneger is a silly little girly boy much too femenized from overdosing steroids to get rid of these crazy fools, the California Almond Board. You Californians should send him back to the sidewalk where he can play jax with the other greedy little girly boys and his corrupt, degenerate movie maker friends.

[GypsyArdor]

Mike, thanks for sharing this! Seth, I'm so happy to hear that you are importing the truly raw almonds! Yay! I stopped buying your nuts (which are amazing--everyone should try them!), because I kept forgetting to ask if you had truly raw nuts anymore. I'm so happy you do! I switched to buying hazelnuts in place of almonds since the ridiculous ruling surfaced. Love, Gypsy

[meridian41]

Thanks for informing us, Mike! I am definitely going to be livingnutz! (Made me hungry :) Also sent legislature a message, via the Newstarget link.

[blackberryjuice1]

I really want to visit Italy so I can taste real food and real produce! Even the "healthy" food here in America absolutely sucks...

[SirLoin21]

You are correct

[jtheis6]

I am an American living in Italy (Naples) and the produce is definitely different and better tasting, but it goes rancid VERY fast.

[fishergirly]

Great job speaking!!!! Glad your business continues to be a great success!!!!

[lcsalas]

go living nutz!!!!!!

[syllocol]

Thanx for sharing, Mike!

I was desperately searching for a raw seller.

Good to know these guys are around :)
