Alan Kapuler: Man of Science, Ideas, and Humanity

For more videos and information, visit: http://cookingupastory.com Dr. Alan Kapuler is a man who thinks on big time scales, and across wide geographic spheres of reality.

A molecular biologist by training, as a young adult, Kapuler experienced an almost spiritual connection from working with plants. Years later, he became a public domain organic plant breeder, and an impassioned advocate for the protection of the natural world. Kapuler believes, the interconnectedness of all living things—biodiversity itself, is the true seed of life. Widely regarded as the founding father of the organic seed movement, Kapuler's reverence of living things is embodied in his daily work—planting, breeding, and cataloging of seeds he has done for almost 40 years.

Why aren't we educated with these important facts of life and the ecosystem in Elementary school? Because then people may become more aware of the necessity of preserving it, and that's bad for business.

@underwoman261 yep, as he said, we have a system for growing profit, not health. There has been a recent interest in school gardens - hopefully (maybe) larger lessons can be wrapped around these small ecosystems.

@mphello thats how people like this think. so many ideas in the mind that there is endless things to say on a topic. his mind is running a million miles an hour :) i love his talks

[dugojajac]

@CalicoatMaker so you are telling as that's why pakistanis are of a lesser value and integrity, because they do not shave

[blackvitruvianman]

the white dick gregory!!! jejejeje.

This Dr Kapuler is clearly EXTREMELY knowledgeable and intelligent, but I get the feeling that he doesn't quite complete the point that he wishes to make.

[mistresspav]

@wfblvb6469 I say maybe you should attempt to do some more "scientifical" research. And be kind to share with all of us!

[MrKeen101]

I appreciate what he's doing. But, i'm not sure what point he's trying to make about the BT corn. From the research i've done, HFCS causes diabetes and destroys the liver even without any BT residues. It's the Fructose that is dangerous. There is a great video on youtube called "sugar, the bitter truth" and a medical doctor explains it all in horrifying detail.

Having said that though, i hope he continues to do more interviews and videos and publishes more of his work!

@CalicoatMaker What specifically is he not correct "in his own teachings"?

Also, how has he passed off Rolf Dahlgren's work as his own?

Finally, I'd imagine if he cut his beard then he would just be contributing to the human monoculture of the one-way one-culture of shaved, greasy suitcoats.

So, it begs the question, what's your beef anyway, troll?

[wfblvb6469]

What planet is this guy living on. There is no science in what this guy is attempting to bring forward. What is the link between Bt corn and obesity? There is none! Then he tries to link this to a faulty food system, and the blame is a mono-culture agriculture. Kids are fat today partly because of what they eat, but also because they do not get out and play. It is not because of Bt corn. This guy is a nut. It is easy to say the things he does, but it is all emotion, no science

[CalicoatMaker]

@cookingupastory School is for education, not gardens. If they DID teach in the schools instead of Unionize and rape taxpayers for more money every year, then the children would KNOW this.

Besides, this guy isnt correct on quite a few things in his own teachings. Probably why he copied Rohf Dahlgren's work and passed it off as his own.

[CalicoatMaker]

Bullshit. Dont you think these companies would make JUST as much money selling them crap to drink all day long that WOULDNT make them gain weight?

The only scam artists here are the Kevin Trudeau types that sell snake oil and bullshit "weight loss" programs.

This Kaupler guy would have more integrity if he fucking shaved.
