  • @YuNgMuN04 Put h t t p : / / w w w . without spaces in front of links. "organic produce carries significantly fewer pesticide residues than conventional produce" nal.usda.gov/afsic/pubs/faq/Bu­yOrganicFoodsC.shtml

  • @YuNgMuN04 Put h t t p : / / w w w . in front of links. "organically grown foods consistently had about one-third as many residues as conventionally grown foods" ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/120286­42

    Children organically fed get less pesticides. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/­PMC1367841/

  • @YuNgMuN04 52% of organic farmers use no pesticides at all, and the rest generally use much less than conventional. A 2009 French Agency for Food Safety study suggests 94%-100% of organic foods contain no pesticide residue at all. h t t p : / / w w w . agronomy-journal . org/index.php?option=com_artic­le&access=doi&doi=10.1051/agro­/2009019&Itemid=129

  • @YuNgMuN04 Nonsense. I work part-time and can afford organic. In fact I spend LESS now that I'm off processed foods. I don't like to insult ppl I'll never meet behind my computer, as a rule, but quite frankly you are a lousy 'nutritionist,' as you are doing your middle class 'clients' a major disservice

  • This guy is 100% correct in every sense of the mother fucking word. Those who listen shall prevail, those who differ shall fall to there deaths.

  • I am a certified nutritionist, and I have watched almost all Sean's videos and like what I see. I have yet to make a negative comment, however, your argument about pesticides is misleading to the lay person. Everyone uses pesticides to grow crops, even organic farmers, yes they are different than commercial chemicals, but still chemicals. I agree they are more nutritious for us, but sometimes the price is far too high for me to suggest to the middle class person.

  • well, i hear what you are saying and i'm very much all for it. i'm vegan/rawfood and only buy organic except when i have a pay crunch than i'd rather eat conventional veggies than to eat meat. to someone who can't afford to pay the organic price temporarily, conventional is better than meat i would think....until organic is financially feasible.

  • Any good books out there on the science of SOIL?

  • is he asking us to eat soil? xD

  • @jedimastereric

    is that Monsanto you mean lol, yeah spray that agent orange (aka round-up)...zap those nasty weeds, eat those genetically modified crops that have zero nutritional value, there are no nutrients in the soil hence the need for fertilizer, no more fallow fields, the earth is like a conveyor belt now it never stops producing "food",we are scorching the earth.
