I would like to see you do a video on cheerios. It's a very popular oat product and what I'm wondering is the nutritional value. Is the generic cheerios (low priced) just as good (nutrition) as the higher $.
This video today came at a perfect time. I was about to load up on some strawberries that are on sale locally and freeze them. I will go to Whole Foods and get a smaller quantity. Thanks for the information.
I grow my own okra, squash, cantaloupe, and tomatoes--but I don't know how to do so without using pesticides. Sorry, but here in Florida, the varmints and insects would completely destroy my crops. My cat does a good job of keeping the moles way; however, she would be powerless to fight against the bugs and worms that are trying to eat my food. Pesticides for the win!
@TrumanPolly According to others who grow their own food, it is possible to make your own pesticides without the use of synthetic chemicals. Perhaps you should talk to them about this.
grow your own vegetables, go back to the basics when people knew what food they where eating and what they put in it... I've done it for over 7 years and I've always had better tasting crops than what you could get from a supermarket. It 's just plain common sense. What you put in is what you get out... You feed you plants crap your going to get crap...
@XXTheRealMcCoyXX I'm not opposed to growing your own food. Go right ahead. I grow my own food just the same as you. The problem is that switching the whole world over to organic would kill billions of people. Africa can't afford organic, so they grow food efficiently, just like we do here.
No one bitches about synthesized medicine, so why do we care about genetically modified food or fertilizer? All it is is another monument to scientific achievement and exists to save people's lives.
that's all very fine... but where is the 60 odd minarals that we need? There missing from soil when it's been used and it's missing in the food when we get it on our plate, but the Trusty old NPK keeps the plant looking good...Even when there's nothing in it... Then people wonder why their deficient in certain vitamins which lead to deseicse? explain this?
@garrettducat I've met a good number of people from the continent of Africa and according to them, some countries there can afford to grow organic food and do.
@chiyerano on subsistence farming level yes in Africa budgets are tight, yet commercially grown food same rules apply. The darker side in this is for example a pesticide was banned in Europe, America's and Asia then only in Africa. The pesticide becomes cheap so people use it. Then it eventually get's internationally banned. By this time who else suffers? Not only the ban, but the regulation to take effect in Africa is longer.
@benjaminjean1984 All I am saying is, at least in countries like Nigeria and Ghana (I am basing this on the many discussions I've had with people coming directly from these places), they have no problems growing food organically. This is especially true of those who are rich and own plenty of land. What we have here in America for organic produce is very small by comparison. I have also read that some African nations actually rejected many of the GMOs, and foods laden with pesticides from U.S.
@benjaminjean1984 If there are any problems growing food organically in Africa, it is usually due to political issues and not because they don't have enough of the resources, at least in the countries I mentioned, to do so.
@benjaminjean1984 Feel free to check out some places like / / news (dot) bbc (dot) co (dot) u k /2 /hi/ 2459903 (dot) s t m and w w w (dot) worldpress (dot) org /Africa / 737 (dot) c f m for Africa and the GM debate.
Seriously: people need to stop with the organics. They take up more water and more space than normal crops, reducing our food supply. They are more prone to bacteria and viruses because of their use of organic pesticides, and more of the crop is lost. I would love for someone to show me EVIDENCE that genetically modified food has ever caused a single illness. Organics, however, cause sickness all the time. Salmonella, anyone?
@XXTheRealMcCoyXX Just because a corporation is evil doesn't mean that their products are garbage. Monsanto designed corn infused with what is basically Roundup that is completely harmless to humans and kills the pests, yet doesn't involve spraying the crops with pesticides which could get in water supplies and stuff like that.
@garrettducat What makes you think organic food is more susceptible to salmonella? Either way, if something finds it's way into stores with salmonella, it's pulled instantly. This happens with regularly cultivated food more than organic food, because it's produced on a more massive scale.
the point is though...Any kind of disease, parasite or pest IS the very first sign that you not going to get a very good yield. if the plant was healthy (witch most commercially grown produce is not) then their would be no need to buy and kinds of pesticides, larvicide, fungicides and GMO's in the first place... because the plant has it's own resistance when it's given what it needs to combat infection... plants have obvously had a long time to evolve their defences before we have
@XXTheRealMcCoyXX Yeah, natural plants do have resistances to certain fungi and pesticides. Too bad not even your organics are natural.
Humans have been breeding plants for thousands of years in order to get a particular type of plant. Those plants never occurred naturally. It was humans that bred them, just like mules (only the plants can reproduce). Why don't you investigate the counter side of your claims before you spout your bullshit?
So what the hell dose any of that have to do with basic nutrition and the toxicity of pesticides?... nothing! You must have strait up stole that line from wikipedia because the agricultural revolution and the use of selective breading had only taken off a few hundred years in the 1400's. a lot of the stuff we see in supermarkets didn't exist back then, true... but how dose this connect with the pure crap they think they need keep putting on the crops?
@XXTheRealMcCoyXX Do you think organic food doesn't use pesticides? Of course they do! They use certified ORGANIC pesticides.
Organic doesn't mean safe and clean and pure and all that. It means a regression to the 1700's when everyone was a farmer and everyone died of disease and crops were lost every year to fungi, bacteria and a lack of water.
@XXTheRealMcCoyXX Furthermore, show me a single case of modern pesticide poisoning. Also, show me some proof that organic food has more nutrients. That, however, would be pretty difficult considering GMO's are designed to do just that.
@XXTheRealMcCoyXX People have selectively bred everything since they started farming. Just because it "really took off" in the 1400's doesn't mean anything.
I think 7 years of Organic gardening is enough investigation for anyone to tell the difference between the garbage that’s sold to them, good information and disinformation… why people have such vested interest in defending their views on commercial farming, even when that doesn’t stand up to real examination. But I don’t understand why you can’t get a decent education in it? selective breeding has never been a problem but GMO's That somthing else...
@XXTheRealMcCoyXX "I'm a hobby farmer! Therefore I know the complexities of the human body and how it deals with all sorts of toxins!"
Show me a single case of GMO's being as bad as you say they are. Do it! Show me evidence for anything! The burden of proof is on you here. You are the one making the claim, and extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Why do you need somebody else to tell you? Look for yourself, the information about GMO's are all over google, doesn't cost you anything to find out... It's pretty much an established fact and common knowledge...Thats why It has been band throughout most of europe and the UK. Nobody wants anything to do with it because of all the ill health effects that it causes... Monsanto even had to cover up and distort their own studies to get it past, as usual...
they did the same with BGH and that was pulled off the shelves after much debate...what did they do? they tried to force news reporters to distort their reports and buy off the Canadian health council... Look it up
Organic food by law can only be fertilized with manure. It doesn't take a genius to understand that manure is literally a breeding ground for E. Coli and Salmonella.
Normal foods are grown with synthesized fertilizers that are designed to provide nutrients to the plants and nothing more. The fact that people like you have eaten up what the media has fed you about organics shows how ridiculous you truly are.
@garrettducat You show yourself a fool by making drastic assumptions about me "eating up what the media has fed us about organics".. Hilarious, considering the organic food industry has been on the fringe for the last 40 years. Hardly a glimmer in the mainstream media's eye. Secondly your claim that organic farms are only fertilized with manure is false. Thirdly your presumption that regular farms don't use manure fertilizer is also false.You use quite the dirty line of logic to make your point
This guy is just another organic pusher. I never understood the concept of organics. They say that organics have more nutrients (somehow). Even if that were true, its not like anyone in this country is suffering from nutrient deficiencies. We're suffering from too much fat, sugar and grain.
Organics cannot possibly have more nutrients, anyway. Genetically modified food is ENGINEERED to contain more nutrients, like gold rice that has beta carotene, to be used in third world countries.
Informative! I'll still try and get my majority organic, but now I know some foods have more pesticides then others. So then thicker skinned fruits and veggies are more typical to have less pesticides.
@garrettducat The food grown in my backyard is my biggest source of food, the 'pesticides' i use are bone marrow and but fox urine on the boarders of the garden, i've had zero issues with pests. Pesticides in name brands are not these. They use chemicals that kill bacteria (good and bad ) in your GI track and and cause many issues when absorbed into the blood stream over time.
@garrettducat How about you continue to eat GMO'd and conventionally grown food while the rest of us (i.e. those of us interested in organic) focus on eating organic foods and then get back to us in a few years? Let us know how you fare.
I like this guy, he is honest. A lot of people will just say that the traces of pesticide residues are completely deadly and health ruining, without any evidence, and some will deny that they are at all a problem, without evidence (though the rejection of a claim in the absence of evidence is more tenable) but this guy realizes that some people are much healthier and able to deal with that sort of thing than others. A lot of people have very unhealthy livers and some people have mighty livers.

nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium

There missing from soil when it's been used and it's missing in the food when we get it on our plate, but the Trusty old NPK keeps the plant looking good...Even when there's nothing in it...
