Super disappointed to see the Momentus Omega-3 listed under "Rich Roll's Favorite Products" is not vegan.

Loved this conversation! Loved seeing one of the founders behind EWG! I have been using EWG and recommending them to people for about 20 years. I'm so happy to hear that industry is using EWG in a positive way to improve their products. It restores my faith in humanity and (some) business. Thank you, Rich, for having Ken Cook on your show.

Organic choices, healthier living! 🌱✨ Key Takeaways: 1. *Prioritize Organic for Certain Foods:* Focus on purchasing organic versions of the "Dirty Dozen," which are known to have higher pesticide levels when conventionally grown. This can reduce your exposure to potentially harmful chemicals. 5. *Support Sustainable Agriculture:* Consider the impact of your food choices on the environment and support initiatives that promote regenerative and climate-smart farming practices. 6. *Be Mindful of Sunscreen Ingredients:* Pay attention to the ingredients in sunscreens, opting for products without oxybenzone, which has been linked to health concerns and environmental damage. 7. *Engage with Policy and Advocacy:* Stay informed about agricultural policies, such as the Farm Bill, and support legislation that aligns with sustainable and health-conscious values. 10. *Embrace a Forward-Thinking Mindset:* Shift focus from what to oppose in environmental issues to what to support, such as renewable energy and plant-based foods, to drive economic and societal change. 👉 Key Takeaways by Kwip AI

Thank you for providing the content free for all of us to expand our knowledge. I really appreciate you.

The food industry uses PFAS in food packaging. Most paper plates are coated with PFAS chemicals. Dominoes Pizza puts a coating on the pizza box. In the USA it is almost criminal how bad regulations are to our environment.

I love when Rich has a guest that gets him excited to say the "plants" part of his sign off. EWG is a hell of a resource. 🎉

Best sign off ❤😊

This is information that can make a real difference, and it is being generously provided by Rich and Ken free of charge. Thank-you. 💓

Thanks, Ken Cook, for all your work through the EWG !!!! As an Iowan, organic food has been important to me and my hubby since 1974...Thank goodness we have Wheatsfield Cooperative that has provided it from that time to now here in Ames ! As a vegan for 4 years, whole foods without pesticides matter ! So many dollars from our government has gone to farmers -- you said half a trillion dollars to agriculture since 1995 -- that investment has not saved rural America. We have had so many farmers go out of business with the introduction of industrial ag...AND...our earth cannot take the the impacts of it. Cattle takes the most land and water resources...hope everyone will eat less red meat and eat more fruits, veggies, beans, grains, nuts and seeds. It matters to our earth what each of us eats. Kudos to the efforts of Cory Booker and Jim McGovern on the Ag Committees in Congress who are pushing for changes that will matter to our health and the health of our earth.

Thanks for this, very informative and enjoyable

With so many podcasts Chanel, some professional is going wild to get our attention but not passing the right information like this one in here. Thank you to bring a honest and real information 😊

What a hero, this man is so knowledgeable and has been a fighter for us and the planet for so long. And ive been eating non-organic chickpeas and lentils and oats :(

Every episode is a gem!! Thanks Rich for all your hard work

Taking a break to digest the first half hoping that in the second half he talks about the flame retardants that are being being used to put out the outrageous forest fires out west in beyond. I got hit in the mouth buy a guy wearing a Roundup backpack who came around a corner on a windy day I've also been sprayed with our when I was 7 months pregnant the guy spraying came right up against our property and a hazmat suit for himself but didn't bother to tell us he was spraying that day and the county buried it. Another time when they were spraying for the medfly in San Jose and I had my 5-month-old with me.. but when they were spraying for mosquitoes in my town or maybe it was for a tree infestation I took my daughter out of school and headed for the coast. So many people have absolutely no conscience in this world. Greed kills. Okay back to the show and thanks to the both of you.

Just watched this Yesterday, thank you for raising these important questions. Discussions about endocrine disruptors, Pfas... microplastics and all the other harmful & polluting ingrédients in every day products like cosmetics...are essential !

Thank you for your time very informative 👍🇬🇧

I almost didn’t listen to this one because I didn’t want a downer listen. I’m very encouraged by his EWG work! Thanks you so much. Your organization just makes such a huge difference!!! Thanks also to Rich for including another topic that speaks to everyone’s wellbeing, not just plant based. We all deserve better in so many ways. Like he said us humans have left our trace everywhere. Let’s leave a good legacy for the future of our planet.

Thanks. Just re-joined EWG.

supermarket organics are questionable they're tasteless usually flown in from Kenya mexico Peru well over a few weeks old and me thinks hydroponics are involved grow you're own if you can

thank you! this was really great.

This must have gotten buried (not surprised..) but thank you for having Ken Cook on! The EWG is an amazing source of information, and they do not overlook any. minor. detail. I love them for that. I wish I had more money to donate!

This was extremely interesting and informational!!

Loved this, thank you!!! ❤

Can’t wait to delve into this one! Thank you as always for sharing such amazing and thought provoking conversations ❤

We need NON PESTICIDE, NON CHEMICAL LADENED FRESH FOOD. MANY CHILDREN. ARE GETTING CANCER AND DISEASE FROM THE CHEMICAL LADENED FOOD THEY'RE EATING.BLESSINGS TO YOU BOTH.

THANK YOU!!!

This was amazing. Thank you 🙏

Almost all the snow gear I see has some form of PFA, usually Goretex. Is there a brand you recommend to avoid these for snow stuff?

Rich is truly doing amazing work!!!

I’ve been passionate about this subject for a very long time. Gotta love how the vaxxine ingredient discussions are always muted.

Excellent Interview 🍓🫐🥑🫑

Thank you for all you do Rich!

Technical feedback: The guest’s last few words are often spoken over by Rich. I’m very interested in what he is saying, and it’s frustrating to not hear the completed thought. I greatly respect Rich and this podcast, but please allow the full sentences be completed before chiming in. 🙏

I wonder if are fruits and vegetables that are now GMO have the vitamins that they used to 40 years ago 🤷🏼‍♀️

THE GREAT EWG.

TYVM❤❤❤

Should be living to 100 years or longer

Have a look at Richard Perkins work

I disagree that Monsanto would go bankrupt This is a multi billion dollar conglomeration company it's part of pharmakea and upjohn and others they're lying about going bankrupt they make billions of $ a year. They can keep paying for years, get into their excess $ they can pay. Thanks for this video Blessings.

Rich, please have RFK Jr. on your show. I know if you reach out to him, he would gladly do it. Contrary to what many might expect (fed by the endless commercial media smear campaign), I would bet my dog that your audience would end up really liking the interview a lot. And yes, I'm a supporter of RFK Jr. In quick, random order, here's some of my reasons for supporting him... -genuinely wants to unite the country, and he has the ability to, being liked by many different 'types' of people from across the spectrum of issues and ideas, who are tired of the 2-party duopoly -calm, humble, has integrity, has courage, truth seeker in general, thinks for himself (not a DNC/RNC puppet) -not phony -incorruptible, cannot be bought -thoughtful and introspective -deeply considers problems and possible solutions -wants to get rid of 'Citizens United' and the power of the big private money controlling government -vocal about putting an end to corporate capture over government (pharma, banks, oil, military industrial complex) -wants to get us out of 'forever wars' and to pull back on and expose the corruption within the military industrial complex -wants to pull back NATO and resolve the Ukraine problem via negotiations -vocal about the dishonesty and agendas of commercial media -wants to abolish all pharmaceutical advertisements on television (this has major influence on the 'news' narratives) -wants to keep the pharmaceutical industry honest with safety testing, transparency, etc -wants to get rid of government assist crony capitalism and subsidies for big ag, oil, etc -advocate for civil liberties -vocally against censorship (will free Snowden and Assange on 'day 1') -against mandates and police state-like policies -classical liberal sensibilities with respect of others (without the 'woke' or fake identity politics) -vocal commitment to transparency regarding FBI, CIA, NSA over-stepping and out-stepping -passionate about environmental and ecological concerns -passionate about cleaning our food supply and exposing the unhealthy ingredients in processed 'foods' -wants to bring preventative health more into public discourse; nutrition, exercise, etc -will immediately close the border (this is not some republican scare issue, it is a very major issue - for many reasons) -has an excellent plan to make homes affordable for all, including a program that backs mortgages at 3% and a tax structure to keep Black Rock from continuing to buy everyone out (this also will bring rent cost down dramatically) -due to his family/background, he's well-learned from the inside of the various power structures -due to his decades as an attorney successfully taking on major corporations, as well as government regulatory corruption, he is exceptionally well-suited for taking on the myriad of corporate capture over our government -can catch rattlesnakes with his bare hands (it's on youtube...)

❤✌️

Not at all a fun listen, but THANK YOU for this!

Goodbye forever

Eu does better Rich sorry but in France between 1990 et 2000 it was far better than it is today. Just to picture you, in Doué la Fontaine France, north west of France near Angers. 10 000 inhabitants it was 30 farmers between 1990 and 2000 it is only one today.

Who is "we"?

When you start calling out one party I am out!

Guys you are over praising the EU, some nasty stuff happening here too.....

Still would rather stick to EU consumer protection than the US version. Full disclosure; I’m French, but travelling outside the EU makes you realise that as a consumer I’d rather not live anywhere else (including the US)

The producer of this videos is very profesional, knows about lighting, and photography. But I think the current trend of putting short pieces in the intro to supposedly motivate the video is a waste of time for everybody. Cut straight to the start of the interview. Everybody knows the quality of this interviews, no need to waste time with stupid teasers.

I applaud the work EWG does for consumer safety, especially with regards to identifying products and foods that are free of or contain acceptable levels of toxins. However, this guy seems a bit too left leaning for my overall taste. I get the feeling in his perfect world we'd all be eating "plant based" food and have no say in the matter. There would also be such stringent regulations in place, nothing could be done to change it. We need to find a balance between innovation, capitalism, health and well-being. I believe animal food is a natural source of nutrition for many of Earth's animals, including humans. I would never choose to eat some ultra-processed plant based "meat" instead of a grass-fed beef steak.
