The Truth About Buying Organic Food

    Buy your local farms. I’m a farmer and have always grown fully organic. No pesticides,,, I have low yields but what I grow is heirloom and fertilized by fish emulsion and chicken manure. No fake chemicals, my farm is biodiverse and has healthy natural soil. My only problem is I’m the last of seven generation of farmers in Sacramento Ca. and now my farm is surrounded by lennar homes…

    More than organic, we need to transition to regenerative farming practices and eat more foods from perennial sources such as trees in diverse cropping systems and STOP TILLING THE SOIL. This video claims pesticide residues on grocery store foods are too low to pose a risk to human health, but what about the health of soils where many of the nutrients we need come from. As soil life dies we grow less and less nutritious foods and in effect mine the soil as the life that holds it together isn't there to prevent erosion. More people need to get involved with where their food is coming from so we can strengthen local food security and decentralize from the monocultures of corn/soy. Let's plant food trees like chestnuts (in temperate areas) in our communities and lining the streets so we can rely less and less on food grown across the country/world.

    I grew up thanks to my dad with pecan, peach, and apricot trees, plus a great garden. When my mom and dad divorced, my mom got another house. My first words when I saw the house were “it has no trees”. We have spruce and pine trees now. We made sure not to have them on the south side so the sun comes in from the south and bathes the whole yard especially during the winter. Luckily the neighbors don’t have vegetable patches and appreciate the shade. Fruit trees and nuts are easily grown in large pots. Too many verities to name. Even though my dad is not in the picture I appreciate what he taught me.

You could certainly go more in-depth to look at actual research and the validity of studies for both sides, but that might be too in-depth for the intended audience. Though logic tells us that organic food is better for us, the studies to support it may or may not be overwhelming. Research has to get funded and both sides of this debate do not have equal resources.

They can then also be food. Chicken, eggs, vegetables, stop using corn and soy for oils but for food. If we stop manufacturing foods. Produce more lentils but with ruminants and rotating crops instead of depleting the soils. We are destroying our soils by not adding in full regenerative in the mix. We are also building our home on agricultural lands... instead of using it for food. We only have a finite amount of farmland on this earth... and we are using it for the wrong things the wrong way.

    I find it so interesting that the natural way of growing foods with no harm to the soil has to be labeled organic. But pesticide ridden foods that aren't nature intended doesn't have a label yet it is so unnatural. For me organic foods is a concern about how we treat our soil. I don't really think we are doing ourselves a service by filling it with poison. Also I don't need to consume poison either. How much gets absorbed into the plants that you can't wash away? Nature shows us day in and day out how it is supposed to be done. Maybe if we hadn't been so focused on profit we would still have clean air, clean soil and clean waters. Grow your own foods if you can. I supplement as much as I can with limited space. It tastes a heck of a lot better than store bought. And that includes the organic store bought. Fresh out of the garden or pot can't be beat.

But if you're going to your local chain supermarket, that fruit you're buying has passed through so many hands, you really just don't know what you're getting.

The evidence in humans is from studies of exposures, mostly agricultural, in the USA, Canada, and Sweden published since 2001. Malathion also caused tumours in rodent studies. Malathion caused DNA and chromosomal damage and also disrupted hormone pathways". BTW, even natural foods can cause tumors in rodents, so that's nothing.

    I have started an organic farm, I am licensed in my country for the farmers market. The cost to make organic food is super more expensive than convectional farming. This is why I have to have higher prices or else I cannot pay the bills or save for the "raining" days. If some weather catastrophe happens, how will I cover the damage? Now as for nutritional value, I make brix tests, very inexpensive method to know what I am producing and usually higher brix levels means higher nutritional value. As for health, I only know this, I have in my mind already 4-5 relatives which some died from cancer, one is dying right now, there is no hope and the other had breast cancer and she has it again. They all were "cheap" on food and they wouldn't pay for high quality food or organic, but they paid the doctors even though we have free health care, under the table (I am in greece) 10.000 euro for the relative with the breast cancer, my aunt paid for her husband 20.000 euro, and he died in the end, and now my other aunt, I don't know for sure because she is secretive with her money, but I bet she has paid also a lot. Other relatives were very old and they died from cancer. But my 3 examples are 40-55 years old. In the end, if you don't pay for healthier food during your life time, when the time comes, after 40, you might pay it by the thousands to the doctors and gamble your life, you live or die. So I decided to try to have as much as possible lower cost or my price range to be on the expensive side of convectional vegetables, and it works for me, but I am telling you all, find a good farm that does brix tests, that have their nutritional value on the labels, and support them. Learn to pay and make people who make healthy food for you, because you need it, your life needs it. Don't make anymore rich people with cancerous food or the doctors, enough is enough with this failing system.

    @The Taco Kawaii well you were clearly not the audience i was talking to lol. if you live on some 50th floor apartment, yeah clearly you cant have a large garden. im taking about people that own land and can use it to grow crops, and yes that means even city folks who do own a home and some land. there are urban permaculture gardens with less than a 10th of an acre yard and they grow tons of food. if you do own a yard, why not at the very least plant one or a couple fruit trees or bushes? a tree can literally be gotten for free or very cheaply, and once mature produce $100's of dollars worth of free food for decades to come. nobody has ever said "i regret planting fruit trees for myself and my family to enjoy for generations". regarding economics, that has no relevance on what i was talking about. i have no issues with someone paying an outrageous price for some produce and the seller benefitting from it. all im saying is, a large percentage of people own a yard, and they simply dont know or care about how easy it is to grow food and save thousands a year in food costs lol. they'd rather spend $100 a year on apples rather than buying an apple tree and being able to harvest true nutrient dense actual tree ripened fruit for decades to come. im high income, so i understand the value of my time, and it wouldn't make sense to spend many hours in a garden each week, but most people are not high income though, and in many cases there are people that do own a yard, they work a crap minimum wage job, and they spend like 40% of their income on trash food, when they could be growing good food with ease, and the ROI on that time investment is certainly worth more than $15 an hour, and with the money they saved they could obviously buy whatever they want, invest into their Roth IRA or whatever. its just super cringe hearing broke friends who own yards complain about food prices when they could be growing like 25% of their food intake with very minimal work and investment.

    @The Taco Kawaii im aware, but its certainly better than nothing and saves you some money. id assume you're not buying that type of fruit from the grocery store often if at all right? thats the point, you plant a tree once then you have more apples for example than you could ever want, and you no longer need to buy apples. if you're really interested in growing food, and seeing how much can be grown on literally a 60x100 ft suburban lawn, you should check this guy out. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZoyKrbimidqdlZc.html his intros are a bit cringe, but he is a smart dude who knows what he is doing when it comes to growing food.

    I admit for the last few months I’ve been trying to buy a lot of organic products but have slowly been adding things I used to eat because it tastes better and last longer after it’s open. And for instance I paid 2.99$ for store brand butter because the store brand organic was 6.99$ . And both say butter as the only ingredient except one says organic so I can’t keep paying high prices if it seems the same! But I read labels and do my best.

    Fresh organic food should last longer and taste better. Big store supermarkets sell mostly imported food -- organic or conventional. I would question SOME organic products from theses stores. Also, when organic produce is shipped from California and your store is several states away, produce will not be fresh, especially in the summer months. It is also a fact that the truck routes deliver food to wealthier areas first. Poor and rural areas are last on the route. Store personnel in wealthy neighborhoods pick through the best product and reject the crap. Poor neighborhoods get the crap. I grow my own food, and save money doing so.

    Not enough households are at least growing their own food. Not enough households are recycling their own trash and recycling their own sewage. Are there fully operational recycling centers in every State of the Union? Are there recycle bins for every neighborhood? Artificiality and "get rich" are serious concerns. With the limitations of land and resources along with the need for households to start growing their own food, there are going to be land shortages. Practically we are faced with the fact that there is limited land for Urban living, Suburban living, and Cash cropping. There have been reports of major losses of honey bees due to pesticides. They are saying that herbicides are making their way into the milk of lactating mothers. Thank you for sharing helpful and informative videos!

    Organic is not the silver bullet, and I'm an intermediate scale organic farmer (less than 5k acres, but not small, back yard etc). You can test non organic foods for nutritional content that blow organic out of the water. That's because you don't have to be organic to know that your main crop is the ones under the surface, not above. Soil biology can take a bit of non organic methods and still rebound, mother nature is tougher than you think. The smart money does not spray insecticides that will destroy the natural enemies of your enemies, they accept some loses and let nature do it's thing. They don't saturate their ground with volatility fertility that can be easily and quickly absorbed by the plant, but also kills the soil biology at the same time, which is a long story, too much to cover on a social media post, but to make a long story short, has a bad effect on fertility long term and makes the dependence on synthetic fertility greater year after year. I think responsible regenerative agriculture is the answer, but I don't see how it can be socially responsible writing off a field that required an incredible amount of diesel fuel and depreciating asset use to get in the ground and growing. In short, if you get invaded by Army worms, it should be OK to spot treat a field under the supervision of your certification agent, yet be able to go back to organic statuss the next year. Organic agriculture has given me the opportunity to grow to a level that normally takes a few generations to achieve. But I have to stick to the truth, because I'm not smart enough to keep track of a bunch of lies. We need to be graded on the nutritional value of what we produce. How well our product performs is what matters. Ironically, I sell some of the best organic products for human consumption, and those buyers DO NOT GIVE A CRAP how "good" it is, they only care if it checks all the right boxes. Who DOES care? The people who feed livestock. 40% of my buyers raise NON organic protein, but they buy my products because of how they perform. I have chicken feed that will produce a 3 lb chicken in 6 weeks instead of 8, a 280 lb pig in 4.5 months instead of 6. If I used synthetic nitrogen, micro dosed right at the crown roots of corn at PRECISELY the time that plant needs it, I'd be a more ecologically sound farmer. Since I can't do that, I use liquid hog manure, and as a result, my soil is over rich in nutrients that can potentially leech. I have monitoring wells all over my land so that I can take immediate action should that ever happen. IF I CAN MAKE ANY POINT THIS EVENING, IT WOULD BE THIS, do you think you as a man or woman could take responsibility for supplying 10-15% of your own nutritional needs? Aside from bulk feed production for livestock, we sell mountains of Kale, Sweet Corn, Tomatoes, Asparagus, Mushrooms, Maple Syrup, Honey, Lavender, Mint, 350 total products to be exact. But our goal is to have you take up some of the responsibility in fulfilling your families nutritional requirements. I'd rather sell you a starts, and then seeds than produce. The best label your food can have is "LOCAL" and "IN SEASON" not organic, and better than that is what you provide for yourself.
