What’s the Deal with Organic Foods? Part 2
Nutrition by Natalie What is the difference between organic food and conventional food? Is organic really more healthy for you? The USDA lays out certain guidelines that farms have to follow in order to be able to claim the food is organic. In this video Natalie discusses what each of those guidelines are. What is surprising to learn is some of the growing practices of conventional farming and food processing. As an example, chemical plants and waste water treatment facilities will actually …
look up the video “Norman Borlaug on Penn and Teller” to hear why GE crops are a GOOD thing. Norman Borlaug is an amazing person trying to solve world starvation problems using GE crops.
1WhyTF doesn’t the government subsidize organic farms?????
2The whole reason those non-organic farming methods were developed was because they DO make the yeilds greater and the process cheaper. Thus how could organic method not be more expensive.
3support your group’s points of view, but what you said didn’t make sense. “organic farms produce more per acre, it’s only more expensive because non-organic farms are subsidized”. If organic farming produced higher yields and not more expensive as you say, then all farmers would use those methods for their crops.
4i make and buy my own food and look for the USDA and other other organic labels
5i guess that will be luckiest person on the earth who marry you!!!!
6but how do you trust is it really a organic ?
7i never want to eat anything not organic again
8WOnderful wonderful videos! I am a huge advocate of organic food and only eat organic. I can’t tell you how much better I feel. I have sent your video to all those that have been teasing me about my choice to switch. Let them eat sludgy veggies and motified food. Not this girl! :0)
9Very informative, helpful video!! Thank you.
10genetic modification is not necessarily bad. In fact we only do it because it is helpful.
11it in fact has been shown to “cure” Severe Combined Immunodeficiency.
I put the quotations because it must be repeatedly applied.
on the topic of corn the genetically modified corn actually was modified so it had more nutrients.
Affordable organic foods can be found at Trader Joes markets
12You say that like being bias to organic foods is a bad thing.
13Actually Vegan people tend to eat lots of processed food and hence it not good but if they eat all natural, it owuld be wonderful.
14will surely support organic food.. Infact I always buy organic food !
15[: GO VEG.
16Buy local & buy organic!
I encourage everyone to start growing a plant or two of their own food. Compost the soil with your vegetable scraps by tilling them into the soil for a month or so before you grow a plant and you will have beautiful, healthy, delicious produce!
Thank you for the info.
17My theory is pay a little more for food that you know whats in it..OR pay a Doctor a whole lot more later in life who will only put a bandaid on the problem,because there will be NO cure as long as big pharmacy is around paying useless government PIGS to not fund research for cure’s.And DO NOT be misled by the word natural>Sodium Cyanide is natural.READ labels.If you cannot read or say the ingredients..DO NOT buy it.

19i want pizza and chips
20obviously because organic foods are superior to the conventional counterpart.
21You are very bias. Your goel here as i can see in the description is distinguish the difference between organic food and conventional food? But all you do is advertise in a bias way for the organic food industrie.
22If they hadn’t been brainwashed by the chemical companies or didn’t have a government loan, (you have to farm the way the USDA tells you to if you have a government loan on your property) then they might see that organic was better.
23Not true, the whole reason was to figure out a way to keep the companies going after WWII when there was no longer a need to produce millions of tons of fertilizer (which was used during the war to make bombs. Then once the farmers as using the inorganic fertilizer, the plants was not as healthy and therefore the problem with insects was worst, so the solution was not to go back to organic as that would again cut the companies out of the money, but to develop pesticides to kill the bugs, which was only a problem because of the inorganic fertilizers in the first place.
24Basic biology, our bodies has been designed the same way for thousands if not millions of years, that means that we assimilate food in a certain way, when the food has been modified in any way, that can mean that how our cells are being rebuild may change, and that leads to mutations, if enough cells become mutated, we have disease. Simple as that. GE Foods may or may not cause mutations, it is a proven fact that irradiated foods do, and the results are not in or microwaved food, but why be the lab animal, stay away as much as you can from those things that “might” harm you. Eat as natural as possible. Remember that some mutations do not show up until the second or third generation, why risk it.
