Organic Foods

[myndy86]

@JorJor812 "For individual nutrients, existing studies show that organic fertilization practices produce crops with higher levels of ascorbic acid, lower levels of nitrate, and improved protein quality compared with conventionally grown crops.""Animal studies showed better growth and reproduction in animals fed organically grown feed compared with those fed conventionally grown feed." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/943902­1

[myndy86]

@JorJor812 "Organic crops contain a significantly higher amount of certain antioxidants (vitamin C, polyphenols and flavonoids) and minerals, as well as have higher dry matter content than conventional ones.""there is a lower level of pesticide residues, nitrate and some heavy metal contaminations in organic crops compared to conventional ones." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/172977­55

@JorJor812 "reviews of multiple studies show that organic varieties do provide significantly greater levels of vitamin C, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus than non-organic varieties of the same foods. While being higher in the nutrients, they are also significantly lower in nitrates and pesticide residues.""organic foods typically provide greater levels of a number of important antioxidant phytochemicals (anthocyanins, flavonoids, and carotenoids)." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/203592­65

Organic food is bullshit.

[OrganicLondon]

its a good idea, but what abuot an organic jam with ASCOBINE ACID,...

those women look unwell

[lavenda11]

I wouldn't choose to eat 'lucky charms' if someone pays me to. It's full of sugar and all the horrible stuff

[sevstate]

ok, so now days we have less organic foods right?? so why are people living longer??

[marylouise777]

Stay away from anything in a CAN. Find a farmer in your area and never by any milk unless it is raw milk.HEALTH TO YOU.

[mleib17]

Both of these women are very annoying.

[ss2b2]

OMG that one guy toward the beginning looks and sounds like David Cook from American Idol...

[a1mint]

People should better explore local farm markets.

[mrjotat]

the truth is there are thousands of chemicals in our food. science will never be better than nature. the human body can't identify all of the bullshit that is man made.

[andrewnowickirules]

i look for not only organic food, but fairly traded food so I know that the farmers get a good price for the food they grow...

[wweexclusivevideos]

[neuroticnadia]

[CropDusterMan]

The Organic movement is like a religion.I'm wasting my time trying to Educate you.

[CropDusterMan]

Organic doesn't mean Pesticide free.I am a crop duster and have many organic farmers as customers.

[crisology]

Not your style? Cancer is your style?

[rawbryan]

All my recipes are 100% ORGANIC! Click my name...

[gingerbr2]

i love organic eat nothing but organic, mostly it does depend on the money, but in a way it does seperate when it comes to incomes, i think everyone should be able to get healthy they should make it affordable for everyone, people wouldnt eat fruitloops if they could afford organic, its hard out here for people, doesnt mean they dont want to eat healthy,

[crisology]

1 reason organic is so expensive is because of government subsidized cheap crops from huge agribusinesses used for livestock and dairy industry, this outcompetes real farmers. u can also grow some of your own food.

[Shed360]

Personally, my body can tell the difference if I eat che more process or manufactured foods. One thing added, I purchase mainly from local farmers and I grow some foods myself.

[sensiblechic303]

who or how is organic certified? how do we KNOW the organic is truly organic and not just labeled that way so the producer isn't price gouging? I want to buy more organic, but not so sure it's truly healthy and worth the extra money.

[PneumaticMuffin]

Organic certification is provided by third-party groups that examine all producing facilities. Do a bit of research about each company. Organics means there is NO ; PESTICIDES, HERBICIDES, CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS and Genetically modified seeds, plus irradiation. That is the bottom line. Organic food dosnt contain ANY of the above mentionned. If I gave you a quarter every time you ingest 10mg of toxins, would you try to get a thousand bucks as fast as you can? make the math people!

[boogadeyboo]

WRONG WRONG WRONG How do I know? I am an organic farmer, packer and shipper. We as farmers do infact apply pesticides, herbicides and tons of fertilizers.

[carthorisJ]

I will forward your comment to Marian.

[h7opolo]

the reason those junky foods are cheap is because they really are made with byproducts depleted of all nutritional value. you get what you pay for, you are what you eat. saving money for an early grave?

[kchandler2]

These are the same idiots who buy into man made global warming. Some one should tell them that organic actually does more damage to the environment than traditional farming.

[PneumaticMuffin]

you are saying that chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, etc are beneficial to the environment ? Your mind is twisted.

[mrpower328]

The host of this show is so silly. She makes a good salary and says she don't eat nothing organic because its to expensive. How could she say something like that

[CarmenSiering]

A good intro for those unfamiliar with organics. Dispels the notion that organics are "too expensive" for the average consumer.
