It's not just about consuming the pesticide, we also have to think of the workers exposed to pesticides at full strength day after day.
Yes, I thought Roundup was banned in the U. S. and then I saw tons of it at Home Depot. Anyone have more info on where to purchase non-gmo foods??? Iâm still researching. Itâs a shame that this manipulation of food has been allowed.
Yes, however are aware of what goes on in the industry /also are consumers in the world
They talk about this in one of those vegan type documentaries I canât remember which one the workers are always sick and have rashes etc itâs sad. Even organic uses these chemicals I know itâs more regulated but they still use them also so not even much better
And our water supply contamination, and the small or microscopic critters that are sacrificed to grow anything without them eating it before it reaches a market. Vegan/vegetarian or recommended western diet is making people sick destroying the environment for greedy corporate interest. Stop supporting the sickcare system...nothing healthy to eat in this video, organic or not.
So true
I know that here in the UK, it has been found that the "organic" labelled food is very often found to contain the same pesticides as non organic. Life is a mine field these days, and those of us who choose to live healthily are made to pay more. It really points to being punished for trying to stand apart from their programs of population control. I can only urge all to grow your own. That way we can step away from our dependency on the system and take sovereignty back into our own hands. Love all. đ
Thatâs crazy (& disappointing).
I believe it's because Roundup is sprayed and it drifts to neighboring farms in the air.
I didnât that about organic foods here in the UK! Where did you read that?
I love it. We should all get back to basics. So many unnecessary industries cluttering the earth.
@@eatplantsloveanimals same. Since neighbors can't be avoided organic foods can be labeled organic if they have a minimal contamination amount. Probably different from country to country, but probably all less than 10% to their conventional counterpart. I know Germany surely had theirs closer to 1%
I have followed you for a few years and rarely bother commenting. But it seems important to encourage you when determining your place in nutrition empowering content. I have respected your abstaining from polarizing topics in general. This kind of video is helping not hurting. If you took pause before committing to this topic, I am proud of you for choosing to do right by us despite whatever risk you face. Keep this up, Teach!
Thank you!
Such a good comment
I'm so lucky I live in Italy. Down here we have the world's most restrictive laws on pesticides.
You are! We get vegetables and fruit from Italy, theyâre sooo good, do much better than Swiss grown.
that's bestiful and you guys have people living in to thier 100 years of age
đȘđŒđȘđŒđȘđŒâŁïžđ€đŒđ€đŒđ€đŒ.
lol the mafia country with plenty of corruption in every level i never buy from italy i saw too much crazy s*** about this country
You should do more educational videos like this one!! You are very professionnal and well documented. Keep up the good work, thank you :)
This kind of video should get the most likes. It has to do with our safety. People need to be more outspoken than they are.
I just bought a large tub of non organic oats and I was at the store debating whether to spend the same amount for a smaller organic option. Wow. Definitely going back to buy the organic one. Thank you for this!!
Sorry, not trying to make anyone broke or scare anyone. I just care so much for peoples health and don't want to see people fighting an uphill battle! Good on yah.
Me too!
I was pondering the exact same thing at the grocery store an hour ago! I opted for organic today, but I go back and forth. No more. I eat oats every single day, so from now on it's organic all the way. A bowl of oatmeal is still an inexpensive meal, even at $1.00 more per pound for organic.
@@Simnettnutrition Information is always good - we can still make our own choices. I appreciated this content a lot. I think your idea of looking not only at the dirty dozen/clean 15, but at the foods you personally eat a lot of, is a good one. I hadn't thought of it that way before.
@@lindav1403 I always find that I'm way more satisfied with organic foods, it is so easy to over consume foods which are nutritionally weak!
In Europe there is an increasing focus on biological control methods, which involves the use of biological agents rather than chemical ones to control the pest species. Itâs a promising technique but still faces many obstacles. Hopefully it will be further elaborated in the future!
I prefer to purchase Italian made brands when I can just for that reason. Their practices are human focused and not primarily for monetary gain such as the US
Thanks for sharing this!
@@bellakim9404 this is great to know! Thank you đźđč
I've been using the baking soda trick for a few years now! As a grad student, 100% organic isn't feasible always but I do my best. In the summer almost all my produce is either foraged or from local farms (which even if they aren't certified organic use organic practices) but in the winter its a bit harder. I do always buy organic soy products, but with grains, nuts and legumes less so. This was a good reminder of the importance of organic practices all around. thanks!
I am SO glad you put this out! They say all disease starts because of a leaky gut!
There is a lotttttttttttt to be said for companion planting to protect your food & the bottom line is this, time to go to the "old ways", "Grow Your Own Food", know what your eating & grow what you eat. Get involved in community gardens for food, network. The world is already hinting to not depend anymore on stores, nope, depend on yourself, we have become too lazy. Grow sprouts on your window sill use tower pots "normally used for strawberries" but stick lettuce in there, put up green houses & use filtered rain water.... Break the addiction to store bought food, you can grow on a patio or balcony in a block of flats, get permission to grow on the rooves of buildings because dear hearts, life as we knew it is going going so before it's gone, set up growing your own food. Love your channel btw, i don't often comment but this is important & rally farmers to stop destroying top soil. â§â âżâ âŠâPeace
We eat organic as much as possible, and have for years, but this was very much appreciated and informative. Thank you, Derek!
Thank you so much for being on this platform. I learn so much from you every time I watch. Your energy is infectious and I strive to live a life like you. Thanks Simnett!
Thank you so much, what a nice comment!
Great video Derek. Thank you doing this! I just wanted to add that glyphosate isnât used in all countries and so isnât a worry for everyone. I believe its use is banned/limited in some EU countries and Mexico has a plan to phase it out in the next couple of years.
Also - a great way to buy organic produce and support local farmers is to check out CSA options in your area. Can work out a little cheaper than buying from grocery stores, plus it's much fresher.
I've read that glyphosate may be the reason why so many people are celiac or gluten intolerant too. It's not the gluten that is harming people - it's the glyphosate. It's such evil stuff.
Love these educational videos Derek. Would love to see more!
I try to buy organic but if I canât I always soak the fruit and vegetables in baking soda and water for about 20 minutes. I have been doing this for several years. Happy you made this video to educate everyone.
Thank you. Very informative đ
I need to get into the habit of doing this!
Hi Derek! Glad to hear you speaking out about this. If you haven't heard of him, Zach Bush is a wealth of information around the whole topic you discussed. He has a global health channel and gives deep dives in to glyphosate and many other interesting topics. He has a non profit called Farmers Foorprint that teachs about and highlights regenerative farming practices. He's a really cool guy. He lobbys in the US against glyphosate. Going to Rock the Park today.Yesterday was an amazingly fun day there.
Thatâs so cool thanks for sharing about him!
Thanks man I was coming to say basically the same.
Derek your awsome!! Thanks for all that info!! Keep up the great work!! :-)
I found the documentary Kiss the Ground very interesting on this subject. We are ruining our soil and if we turned that around we could have a chance to get the planet back in balance again.
Such important information to get out to everyone. I am a cancer survivor who takes eating organic seriously - everywhere possible. This video makes me want to double down even more on organics. Thank you so much for this video.
I also buy organic as long as I have a choice but I'm never sure if it's really organic. Is there a way to check?
@@AsWeSpeak154 All organic CSAs aka Community Supported Agriculture can be a more trusted alternative to supermarkets that source both conventional and organic. Organic CSAs generally have longstanding commitments to sustainable agriculture and public health. Maybe start with doing research for your area to gauge what youâre most comfortable with. Best of luck to you.
Great video! I think this is a very important topic that does not get enough attention. Thank you for spreading the message! We only buy organic and if something is not available in organic we do not buy it at all. Yes it might be more expensive in the short term, but you cannot put a price on the health of your family. I rather invest in the health of my family than anything else.
Great video Derek thanks for posting! Love the hat
Loved the content as usual. I am truly fortunate to live in South America where food is mostly organic and you can support local farmers instead of huge industries. It's quite unfortunate having to pay more for healthier food there but it is worth the effort.
Huge, powerful topic that affects EVERYONE. I'm glad you touched on the topic of this affecting what is fed to livestock and the meat supply--the food chain affects us all, regardless. Frightening to think how vigilant we must be in selecting the foods we eat, just to minimize these additive dangers. Thank you for making this Derek.
I have started switching to organic options after hauling non organic garbanzo beans out of the field to the processers. The plants are sprayed with Roundup as mentioned in the video and it's said to kill everything but the bean. I have trouble believing that because the plants are so brown and shriveled up, anything that can live through that has to be far from its natural state.
i had a question about this, iâve seen some videos on tiktok about some farmers saying that the pesticides are fine and people are dumb for buying organic etc etc. since youâve worked in the fields, why would you think some farmers are opposed to organic? iâve done my fair share of research and iâd rather still buy organic since itâs better for the soil, better for the people since i would hate to be smelling and being around pesticides all day, and i know organic carries more phytonutrients than conventional.
@@Mylkygoddess but thatâs on tik tokâŠ..not very reliable but I think farmers would think that because they feel like they need to be prideful of using pesticides because itâs old school or maybe they canât afford to go organic or they just deny the effects straight up or they are sponsored by round up/mansantos
If I had to guess farming organically would be much more complex, costly, and time consuming. We are harvesting wheat right now. Truck after truck we haul to the elevators where it is sold as a commodity. Easy for the farmers because that's the traditional system. Subsidies could also be a concern. These are all just guesses as I am talking above my pay grade.
Thanks for the great informative video.
I am transitioning to vegetarianism. You are a huge help!
I don't think I can give up my eggs specially when we raise the chickens and know they are cared for. But I am all abord on all it it deffinatly a slower then I thought transition but worth it so far
Thanks for having the guts to post this video, it will help remind people.
Thanks Debra!

Hi Derek! Thank you so much for doing this video - I'm right there with you!! I've been an organic proponent for 30 years. My family thinks I'm a little crazy, but I feel this is extremely important. I have a small, organic vegetable, herb, and flower garden. Glyphosate is so bad. I know someone who sprayed their yard with Roundup. Two days later, he was mowing his yard, in sandals, and he didn't realize he had a tiny cut on his toe. He ended up in the emergency room because his toe started swelling up really badly and he was feeling really sick. When the hospital was trying to figure out what might be wrong, they initially felt he had been poisoned with something (which he really was), this was the only thing he could remember that might be relevant. And, it was! Thank you for all you do. Love your channel, and thank you, again, for this important video.
Thank you! Great video! I've shared it with a bunch of people and posted it to FB!
