It costs a great …
It costs a great deal more to use natural substances necessary to replenish and support organic soil than it does to buy bags of inexpensive chemical fertilizers. Also, supply and demand still rules and there are small farms that can’t operate as efficiently as large farms.
Great comment! …
Great comment! However, if you grow the SAME variety of seeds on quality vs. depleted soil, there is still a taste difference.

Since I was generally relaying facts on this video, and giving very few, if any opinions, I have no idea what this person meant when he said “not necessarily true”, otherwise he is just mentioning the benefits of a good compost with which I completely agree. David Getoff
Excellent ex. of …
Excellent ex. of the diff. between science & nonsense. If a straw house survives a hurricane, this DOES NOT mean we should build straw houses in hurricane areas. Science can NEVER validate anything based on one person. It’s a testament to the ability of the body to manage on suboptimal nutrition that he’s doing well. Science shows that his body will not last as long on a vegan diet. I’ve treated many unhealthy vegans who’s health improved adding animal fats/proteins. David Getoff, CCN, CTN
Pasteurization …
Pasteurization DESTROYS health benefits of raw milk from grass fed cows, is not a natural process but human intervention. Soil teams with living fungi/bacteria to break down substances to go back to earth. Your body teams with LIVE bacteria & fungi, if you kill them all, you die. Bacteria & fungi are an imp. and balance nature. The most productive farmland is soil that’s rich in bacteria & fungi that breaks everything down into forms that become available to plants as their food. David Getoff
How sad with amt. …
How sad with amt. of published research on cancer causing, neurologically destructive effects of agricultural chemicals to have an intelligent person put down organic foods. The research mentioned is from people saying genetically modified foods are healthy. Read Seeds of Deception & see this is a lie. Is Mother Nature a fool and humans know more than nature? Populations who remain on traditions diets as studied by Dr. Weston Price have exceptional health. David Getoff, CCN, CTN
I support the …
I support the research on this, and continued efforts to make our foodproduction better. But it’s way to early and we have to little uderstanding on this to start practising it on a large scale.
Missunderstanding practis of ecology and biology has the probability to end up in a similar way as when communist china killed all the birds to stop them from eating their harvest. Leaving the insects no ennemies to stop them from eating it all up, causing starvation and deaths for millions of people.

Wow, well done excellent job!
I’m not sure what …
I’m not sure what you mean by safe insecticides, but there are plenty of organic pest control methods that we use here in America. My friends and I have tried out a lot of different things. It’s better NOT to kill insects though, if you can balance your eco-system, bugs won’t destroy your crops.
Try a …
Try a vermicomposting system. This is a little box full of worms that eat your peels and all that stuff you don’t want to waste. I have one, they live in my living room. They don’t smell at all, and they never come out of their little box. They just eat my garbage.
There was a long …
There was a long term study in Germany of organics. Not only was there less sodium there were 25% more good vitamins/minerals.
Of course none of the “SAFE” and “INERT” insecticides/hormones allowed in America.
You also don’t have to worry about some new hormone being sneaked into your food the FDA & news has been paid off to ignore as happened w/Monsanto/FOX & milk.
Organics truly a no-brainer if thoroughly researched and you have kids.
This is the …
This is the simplest way to explain why organic foods are better.

Anytime you can use an organic, natural product, it is always a good thing.

maybe someone could clarify…the fishmeal and feathers added for fertilizer: is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Interesting how looks won out over taste. Thanks for sharing this video…very informative and very clear.
WOW!

WOW!
Fishmeal and feathers… I eat organic and am quite conscious and aware but thank you for this video. I cook often and I get upset throwing out banana peels or other parts of fruits and veggies I don’t use, I wish I could have it go back to the soil.
