Do I Need to Eat Organic Produce on a Raw Food Diet? and More on this Grocery Store Tour

[BEEHIVESPIRIT7]

Loved going to the store with you. Great tips - thanks.

Hi John, in the country that I live we dont have a lot of organic stuff and most of them are imported from other countries. In your opinion what is the best choice 1- Organic products that most probably are not fresh and quite 'old i.e. cut early and refregirated or 2- fresh local stuff that are not organic. Thank you!

[Helenelalala]

Thanks John all these details are sooo helpful! love ya :)

John you look much better than just 6 months ago: you had some bags under the eyes which I don't see now: how did you do that? My health has improved a lot since I went on mostly fruits since a few weeks but I still have bags under the eyes (not black though.)

[TardsOfParadise]

Yeah I ate a whole pineapple once and I had a sore mouth for the rest of the day. LOL

[SeventiesGirl1961]

You were making me feel hungry with your quick serving ideas. Thanks for these valuable guidelines, John.

hey john , have you ever eaten from a piece of fruit, whilst it is perfectly ripe and still connected to the tree? : )

[rainbowsalads]

imagine one day, when we do not have to worry about pesticides,the nutrition content of the soil or even if fluoride was added to the water that was added to the soil , where every produce is perfectly grown, every single piece of fruit : )

wow,so lucky to get organic so easily with such variety, its getting better in the uk every year. but expensive. 4 medium large tomatoes £1.80, broccoli 400-500grams £1.50 , 300 gram lettuce £1.50, 2 small avacados £1.75 aprox.

convert to US dollars of course : ) It would be so great to have a organic farmers market or whole foods like you do over there. its so important. Every person(and pet too) should eat organic food. one day,lest all inspire people ;and work for this to happen. :)

mold infection

mold on non organic food from a superstore in 2 days

mold on organic food from a superstore in 5 days

mold on organic food from a farmer coop selling directly: it can take weeks before the vegetable or fruit gets infected

42 likes 0 dislikes! 420! I eat and smoke organic greens! Healthy body healthy mind! everyone should make their own decisions based on logic and personal opinion, John I respect your life style it's awesome to learn from your videos. keep em comin!

[durianriders]

USA is the KING for being a raw fooder!

[kosai19]

I think it's worth mentioning that the "bad reactions" that you get when you eat non-organic has more to do with your body getting use to one particular diet.

[Liendelou]

Your saying that strawberries, grapes and bananas should be avoided because they would contain a lot of poisins?

I am only able to buy mostly non organic. So what should be avoided all together?  Thank you for doing these videos.

Please check ewg*org/foodnews/ change the * to a dot. for a list of the highest residual pesticide loads on foods.

[sevenstars0880]

John, thanks for all you do! You said you eat hydroponically grown vegetables. How do you know if they are grown with chemical fertilizers or not?

[okraw]

I dont. Once again.. good... better.. best.. Of course, optimally, I would like to eat 100% home grown, organic, rock dust enhanced produce. When Im traveling, this is not always possible, so then I would prefer local or organic produce. If that is not possible, than at least the hot house stuff does not contain pesticides.. Some "brands" of hot house grown foods are "certified organic" ..

[monika9v]

wonderful video! Thank you for your time and work to bring us this valuble info!!!

[LawnsAreDumb]

Another awesome video! I used to only buy the green peppers years ago, until you talked about them in another video. Now I like getting the yellow and red ones much more. I like your good better best system! I'm gonna keep that in mind when I shop.

[EatRawGreens]

Thanks for the Video John! Eat Well, Be Well ! :-)

[evanfossen]

Cool. I brought a couple of friends to the MENF for the weekend. Great time and educational (brought home 5 books). I'm just trying to learn more about organic and self-sufficiency.

[evanfossen]

Good video. Were you at the Mother Earth News Fair?

[okraw]

Yes, I was at the Mother Earth News Fair.. Watch for two upcoming episodes on my GrowingYourGreens channel on it..

[AOLDIEH]

[VonLeachim]

..been increasing mushroom eating recently [ due to low vit D the season here] .. john , -love to see some food prepping vids from U, also be cool if U could perhaps share some more info on why in your opinion, certain veg are perhaps best not eaten .

cheers.

oh , btw.. my vit D was v low, - since eats lots of mushrooms -it has increased ....didn't eat one particular var though , just chestnut , straw , oyster and shitake ...

will have to have a go at growing my own one of these days..
