[capricorn4003]

'...dire consequences for Fox News...' LMAO!!!! i'd love to see that!! ;) maybe then, they really WILL be 'fair and balanced'!!

[Shnukums41]

I would like to point in behalf of the 99% ALOT OF PEOPLE WOULD LOVE TO SWITCH TO PURE ORGANIC FOOD& DRINKS& PRODUCTS.But the problem is most people are poor and simply cant afford to switch everything for better consuming life style.Why is it that the poisonous products on the market are cheaper then products that are actually good for you?

The ELiTE doesn't want you to be able to afford stuff for your well being.They want to exterminate a high # of people because the world is over populated!!

[FlypaperGirlSangue]

@Shnukums41 well it is simple cause it cost more to produce it, not cause a bunch of rich guys teamed agaisnt you and the mpre people there is the more money they earn so they actualy are intrested in higher population

@blackphonetic1  lololol

[lamrof]

MONSANTO is killing us.

[2movielover]

yes monsanto is evil

[ouivalerie]

So, I hope they have room in the jail for the people poisoning food as it's attempted murder isn't it?

[mrchibitix59]

occupy wall street.Speak out against this crimes.We have to spread the word.

[R3LL0323]

The most fucked up part of all of this is that we are not aloud to process our own food and we cant get food without paying for it. Why am i not aloud to hunt for my own food other than fishing and why isnt it free? Everything is free, people just put a price on it. Every peach tree in Boston is gone and im starting to think that there was a plan behind it all. I want to but cant trust my country

[grannygrunt1000]

Well; it's wonderful if you can AFFORD Organic foods; poorer folks get to eat the poisin and garbage.. yay.. NOT.

[ouivalerie]

@grannygrunt1000 That's one concern, although they don't have much to live for compared to the affluent. There appear to be reasons the poor have to eat it and die such as prove it in mass numbers so it can't be disputed by the liars in the system.

[bahiaphoenix]

@grannygrunt1000 pay the farmer or pay the doctor

[JeffABenner]

@bahiaphoenix Very well put, couldn't have said it better myself.

[adamnfoool]

speak faster 

[Kechobow]

I'm never eating again.

[TheTrueJBV3737]

funny, all foods try to kill you now, if you want to eat healthy you gota grow your own food or starve. I'm hunting, and growing feeds, shitty trying to find good wheat.

[Justasimpleservant74]

Thank you for posting this! Scary! We have gone organic, but not completely.......after seeing this........we will be completly organic!

[JeffABenner]

@Justasimpleservant74 We are in the same boat, we were starting to go organic, but we started learning about all of this, we decided to accelerate that. Hopefully more an more will realize this and if enough stop buying the processed foods, the food companies will have to rethink their processing and marketing.

[kweenb79]

If we as a whole [country], can not only help the economy but help ourselves medically, if we were to put a stop to corporation food and begin smaller fresh markets locally....it would generate more jobs, with costs and let's not forget minimize break outs of diseases and food born illnesses!! This whole food problem in our country is keeping us sick, keeping the pharmaceuticals rich, and our pockets empty!! When will ppl begin to speak out against what we feed to each other and our children?!!

[leahcimrac]

If we stick to "natural" food then we simply can't go wrong. Pure and simple.

[JeffABenner]

@leahcimrac That is exactly right! If your food has been "manufactured" (a.k.a. processed) then you have a problem.

[JeffABenner]

@blackphonetic1 Roflol, that is a good one.

[medievalman86]

(watching again lol) but I do wonder when i see these things, are our food sanitation levels? better or worse then 100, 400, 1000 years ago... like abraham and sarah- how many beetle ppm did her homemade bread have?obviously the chemicals wouldnt be there but..

[JeffABenner]

@medievalman86 The big difference between growing and picking your own food and those from a corporation, is that you can individually inspect each vegetable, fruit, etc. But in a food processing facility they rely solely on machines to inspect the produce. Personally, it is not the eating of bugs that bother me, but the feces of rodents.

[AngeliaClaire]

If I keep watching this I wont ever eat again.



[JeffABenner]

@AngeliaClaire Well, people need to make a decision. Are they going to continue to eat these, I hate to call it food, or take control over their diet and eat foods that healthy and natural? I'm sure that where you live there are places like farmer's markets, where you can buy real food.

[PrincesseJen]

This should have more views. sharing.

[JeffABenner]

@PrincesseJen Thank you.

[medievalman86]

in responsa to the part about feces ppm, bugs ppm... is there a "equivalent" study of what the "natural/raw/organic" community would consider acceptable ooc?

[JeffABenner]

@medievalman86 I do not know for sure, but I am suspecting that locally grown, or grown yourself, is not going to have these problems, at least not to the extent of processed foods. The problems of bugs, etc. is a result of mass production, there is just no way every piece of fruit, vegetable, grain, etc. can be inspected when they are picked, sorted and processed by machine.

[keksinnot]

Because I have food allergies, I know that there are absolutely no general rules for what is good food for you and what is not.

To me, white bread is like a trillion times better option than a home farm product.

[dunklaw]

Man could repair the damage is we actually learned from the past:-

[dunklaw]

Nice video, but the problem goes much further than this it is it global impact on the planet that is even more shocking.

[JeffABenner]

@dunklaw I agree, the problem is huge. But we can only take charge of our own lives and personal property. We have chosen to change how we eat, more organically with local and home grown foods and using no chemicals on our property, but instead using compost and natural pesticides.

[dunklaw]

@JeffABenner Excellent !

As the Permaculturist's (permanent agriculture &/or permanent culture) say "Think Globally, Act Locally".

[paulgem123]

@JeffABenner Great job Jeff!. I have chosen to do the same a while back but many will not listen.

[simdes13]

Wow Jeff Thanks.
