humans aren't the products - the products are drugs, preventable medical intervention and disease "management" services, and ultra processed foods. humans are more the value extraction vehicles facilitating a revolving door of never ending preventable or reversible chronic disease, medical interventions, and endless symptom management drugs.

You can give information about the food industry all day. It will only educate us about the dangers happening. everyone can plant herbs or a small garden. Herbs is better than pharmaceuticals. I live in an apartment and have teas, herbal medicines, and mini bell peppers. Use a cup plastic cup, make drainage holes, fill with dirt, you can add little sticks and small wood chips for better drainage, learn, grow, trade, use it for healthier foods, make seasonings, etc. that’s a start to self sustainability without being an over-consumer and keep our planet alive!
I would love to own a little plot of land and then to work on it. However the average house is like $400,000. Unless I make massive personal choice changes. This will never happen. I imagine there are a lot of us who would love to do the same.

Warm colors 🟡 to 🍒 advertise, fruit is ripe, eat! Researchers found we got only 22 teaspoons (tsp) of sugar when food was, for millennia, there to gather & hunt. 😂In this profit based industrial food system, the standard American diet (SAD) puts 22 tsp per DAY into our bodies. Hardwired to eat ripe sweet fruit in the brief autumn harvest and add fat for winter before grain storage, supply chains, freezers. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is banned in many advanced nations. It is proven by several large studies to cause inflammation in many systems of the body. As it unnaturally extracts and concentrates fructose, it produces billion$ for the food processing industry, fast food, in the supermarket "snack" aisle, bakery section. Anything in a package, processed, you find HFCS, foods stripped of nutrients, GMOs, cheap seed oils, excess salt. A handful of small populations have been protected from the current culture and foodways. "Blue Zones", living the way humans have for millennia. By mere accident of being physically isolated, left alone to keep the ways of their ancestors. Inevitably discovered years ago, and recently mined by various media for views. The basics in all reports are nutrient rich food, 💤, moderate activity, positive daily interaction in a collaborative group, a sense of purpose. Some impose belief systems on the facts; quasi-religion vegan / veg'n and other religions. This ended up long, we're not used to reading since screens replaced print. It seems self-indulgent to write so much, only there's a striking contrast between the Blue Zones remnants and the indu$trial.
That 22 tsp. of sugar was in a whole year, when we would gather & hunt. Industries now get 22 tsp. per DAY into our bodies. And we pay in $, in healthspan both. As most humans are collected under increasingly centralized systems, more of us are growing restless. We developed, survived (at one point down to very few, they've traced through DNA and archaeology) and became the humans we are through millennia of tribes. Like most advances it probably just happened by accident. The ones who joined with others, helping, sharing resources as knowledge, tools, supplies and vitally, positive interaction, they survived long enough to breed and keep enough offspring going to train in what works, so a tribe survived and grew as a distinct living entity. This is what shaped us, at least 20,000 years if I recall the research. It makes sense we would crave THAT, it's what turned out to work. By contrast, this system after the Industrial Age pulled us out of our tribes, the small close knit farm towns, the extended families, for "jobs". Right now, you and I are likely both in cities, many thousands around us but cut off in our own little hutches, housing units that is. 🤔 We are increasingly surrounded by abundance, knowledge free and food, clothes, enormous abundance at finger's touch on, the Internet. Surrounded by thousands of other humans. Are we sharing what we can contribute to the tribe and seeing their smiles? Are we and they building lifelong bonds? No, we'll never meet.

This is crazy. I hate store tomatoes. Home grown tomatoes are the best!!! As a child I rarely got sick. I played outside in the dirt. Barefoot. I ate fresh tomatoes, carrots, zucchini, etc. pulled from our garden. My grandparents had huge acre sized gardens with anything you could imagine. Peas, pumpkins, squash, corn... My grandmother would then can all of those foods fresh to keep them fed through the winter. I remember going into their underground cellar and grabbing crisp chilled apples. The walls were lined with canned goods. Ahh the memories.
*Tomatos, Potatos, Carrots* are definitely best Home grown than the ones in Stores. Along a few other ones.

I watched Mammy Lou make sauerkraut in a big stone container in the fruit cellar. She would turn the fermenting cabbage over and put a clean tea towel on top with a big stone to hold it down, put the lid back on and do it al over again at a later date. Whew did it smell!
I'm growing some good potatoes up in Maine + at a commercial level. I know for a fact there have never been any contaminants put on that land. I farmed it myself starting in the 1970s. And then my stepfather farmed it from 1905. I worked the tractors. I know the land. And I grow good potatoes. Also sweet potatoes and corn. It's a small time operation several hundred acres but I'm making a difference.

I’m so happy to hear that small farmers and people who have the knowledge of nature and seeds are fighting back against the big gmo companies who are monopolizing our food sources. Keep going so produce diversity can continue.
hybridization in itself doesn't make them less nutritious it because they are selecting for traits such as yield, growth speed and shelf life which all come at the cost of it's nutrition. you can absolutely breed a tomato to have much higher nutrients than the natural heirloom variety, It would just most likely grow slower and produce less per plant.
@@Vlad-bs1jsI think that is a fractal of what was meant. We can change the parameters for growing healthy plants. Dirt, lights and mycorhyzial networks are some areas. What's pertinent isn't finding what he left out. There are methods that have been tested and tried for healthier heirloom plant foods.
Produce slower means there is more time to collect nutrients. Organic grown has more Vitamins and minerals, if they use older breeds, but not always better taste. The best tomatoes I had came from the garden and from a small market here. They were Italian cherry tomatoes, dark red and delicious.
This is the new poverty, the rich can buy rich nutritious food while the rest of us have to buy low quality food (low nutrition food). This is working against humanity, absolutely crazy. If I could afford to own my own little farm to produce healthy food I would, I probably sell it cheap locally just because I care for other peoples health. We need to change this.
I agree on the problem but every regenerative farmer will tell you exactly why this is happening. Soil is dead. Food is grown with NPK today and soil has lost its microbiology and organic matter. Minerals are very particular if you add too much of one you inhibit the uptake of another. When a farmer plants a seed they add fert directly with the seed. This means it establishes its relationship with the fertilizer and not with all the microbes it needs and today they are also no longer there because they have been starved. You can breed plants all you like but if you ignore the microbes it's not going to change anything.
"Soil is dead. " Because that's how plant agriculture works. The worst is the tilleage which almost instatly kills all the soil bacteria and fungi which are responsible for synthesizing the vitamins and for taking the minerals out of the anorganic matter.... That is why I'm a quite strict carnitarier (on a plant-free, carnivore diet)....
@@btudrus unfortunately it's a little or a lot more complicated than that. Even tillage can have its place in restoration. I can show you both soil destroyed for and by livestock and for plant based monoculture. It's the how, not the cow, is very true though.
Man it don't take a regenerative farmer, it takes someone who isn't an idiot, that's all that's it. We need to stop acting like the solutions to these problems are hard, this is exactly the poison mind set that those behind these companies want to spread. You literally don't do anything and it will heal itself, how freaking hard is that? Man they're so good at what they do they got you thinking even doing nothing is hard.
the vitamin and nutrient content that they are referring to are from ripe fruits and vegetables but we don't receive those in the supermarkets. When they pick anything for mass consumption, it hasn't even ripened on the plant yet!
My concern completely! When I go for food it is hard to find food that is ripe. All I have come across lately is green or unripened fruits and vegies. These obviously lack a fully ripened food's nutrients. I am talking about organic and regular produce... both.
@@lingfengge6666 I don’t need lab tests to know that homegrown fruits and veggies are more nutritious than those bought from companies who care more about quantity than quality.
@@Circuit_Design_Services No, your opinion on nutritions is totally wrong. 'Delicious' has nothing to do with nutritions. Some nutritious foods taste awful, and some delicious foods are no good for your health.
Nutrition is dependant on your gut biome and digestive system , vegetable’s and fruits should only be used as a extra - real food that’s compatible with the human digestive system and has the most bio available nutrients is - Meat and fish , something available all year round unlike seasonal produce that’s full of sugar and starches - great for fattening up for winter but as a regular source of food its a far from ideal , most of the current things we eat never existed when the human digestive system evolved and certainly were never farmed . I doubt anything available In stores is of an decent quality and loaded with too many toxins , home grown from the right stock with decent fertile soil and plenty of sun will always be better than something mass produced .
@@jimbojimbo6873 Many people care… cooks, consumers, gardeners, and agricultural scientists who would prefer public-good funding rather than being involved in the public subsidy of dominant private industries. This is not to say public-private collaboration is inherently bad. There are many small companies who do not have the resources for R&D.
We moved to the U.S. several years ago and then started my search for good tomatoes. When I asked people where they buy normal tomatoes they didn’t know what the problem is. So now I know that most of the Americans have never tasted a real tomato and don’t know how tasty and flavorful it can be.
Totally true. I grew up in California, but we had a big garden and grew our own tomatoes, fruits and veggies. I moved to another state for university when I was 17 and the first time I bought a tomato at the grocery store, I was appalled. No flavor at all! There are people who have never had a real tomato.
Depends where you go. I grew up eating tomatoes from the garden in our backyard. We also had a cherry tree, bell peppers, and turnips I chose to grow as a child. When my parents bought a house on 1/2 acres, they planted tomatoes, potatoes, rhubarb, green beans and strawberries and mom canned these. We didn’t buy tomatoes or green beans as they grew enough. I grew herbs on decks and patios and then added jalapenos and pablanos. I had praying mantises and a caterpillar that liked parsley show up yearly. I didn’t mind sharing my parsley, I had plenty.
Then buy from home grown farmers, at ten times the cost, and twice the nutritional value. Not calculating the cost of getting to the farmer, or the last in overripe fruit. If you want it, and are prepared to do something, and pay that price, it is available. But I assume it is easier to complain about it.
I work in fresh tomato business and I can confirm I never have claims from supermarkets about their taste or nutrient value. All my clients care about is low price, long shelf life and uniform color. As a producer I am able to grow better taste tomatoes and increase their nutrient value by choosing right varieties and investing in soil health, but none of my clients are willing to pay more for that.
Yeah, this video is painting the seed companies to blame for the issue, but really the reason we end up in this place is more about modern consumer and supermarket preferences that is more to blame. Everyone's just trying to grow and develop what the market demands. And the market unfortunately demands foods that don't taste funky (read: bland) and that lasts forever rather than one that have more interesting flavours and better nutrients. If supermarkets start showing nutrients profiles for fresh produces, that can actually be great as they will allow costumers to start seeing the issues and change customers demands.
In western society supermarket culture is dominating the market. From their survival perspective it’s obvious why they must choose shelf life, low price and uniform colour over nutrient value. For this to change there firstly should be a cultural change in consumer preferences. Hopefully as a society we will develop our wellbeing to the point when we start to care about the stuff we are eating.
That’s so short sighted from the consumer’s perspective, because you’d need fewer high quality tomatoes, so the cost should equal out. Alas, I don’t think most people think that way.
Now it make sense, i almost thought i lose the ability to taste stuff because almost all the veggie and fruits losing their taste and aroma that i used to taste and smell when i was a child Nice information, thank you
Engineered Obsolescence - The current trajectory of plant nutrition requires the consumer 'must' eat more tomorrow, than yesterday. This is unsustainable and they know it. Government Ministers are GM's too.
I moved country in search for the old fashioned tasty and healthful fruit and vegetables, unfortunately not all countries are educated to appreciate good taste. And then, it is dead obvious, the tastier, the more vitamins has. I now moved to a home with a bit of land where I grow my own tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and many more. I will never ever buy tasteless veggies from the supermarket.
I dabbled in growing food to sell. And it was enlightening because i quickly realised that invesing in expensive soil, nutrients, was well expensive. And also the seed varieties. I also realised the better more nutrient dense foods produced smaller yeilds. I was thinking most people would never know if i cut corners. Only i would. I tried to grow the very best but it took a lot of effort. And as i wrapped up my experiment i can clearly see why we are here now. Until supermarket publicly disclose nutrient densities there just wont be the demand for better quality vs what externally appears bigger and better.😢 Its truly sad
Excellent film! Thank you! I feel a bit irritated and sad because of what these large multinational seed companies are doing to our planet and people! And they are everywhere, like hungry ghosts! May the self sufficiency grow in small communities all over!
Want a real nutrient shocker? Typical store eggs (like EL Best) will tout the riboflavin content as a number that consumers really have no knowledge of comparatively. A typical backyard egg contains 20 times the riboflavin on average!! This is an example of one nutrient in one product. Now scale this across the entire food industry and no wonder most people are fat yet starving of nutrients. It's a very odd and unnatural state of things.
The producers and corporations spends billions researching what the customer wants. Then they supply exactly what the customers wants. Small producers who sells home-grown nutritious food does not survive financially.
The problem is, back in the day ppl died of starvation. Now we have controlled long lasting food, but that means we are getting fat and having other health problems from malnutrition.
very true when I eat the Western diet I get malnourished like an anorexic lose calcium deficient calcium levels no PTH very Rare. I have to watch everything I eat and drink so hard to find the right things number one avoid supermarkets processed food.
There is also a significant decrease in minerals from the "quick processed" salt that we eat. Celtic salt (hand harvested sea salt) has 82 minerals in it. Table salt on the other hand has nearly all of them removed during processing, leaving mostly just sodium left. This is what causes high blood pressure and other health problems. No wonder we are all mineral deficient. Gotta get those minerals back in our diets!
the high blood pressure i believe comes from lack of potassium. potassium and sodium are ying and yang, need a balance. problem is grain has anti nutrient that take away potassium, and people eat it a lot... so now doctors think salt is bad.........
@@hankstorm3135 well people think salt is bad because decades ago big sugar paid for some "studies" that said salt was the problem rather than the mass amounts of sugar people ate...
I grew up in Italy and I remember very well the taste of the tomatoes grown by my uncle in his garden. Their color was deep red inside, not green, and when you brought them closer to your nose once cut you could smell their deep aroma. Their flavor was strong and delicious. I used to smash them with my hands and put them on a slice of Italian bread softened with water, add just a little bit of olive oil and eat them as my afternoon snack. After my uncle's departure, I have never, even once, found the same taste in any tomato I had bought in every part of the world I had lived. No matter how many times I tried reproducing my favorite afternoon snack as a child, I had never found that taste ever again. And I could say the same for all the other veggies my uncle was growing and for all the fruits (especially figs, blackberries and almonds) that my uncle and I used to pick up from wild trees in the countryside all around. You could eat all of those food on the spot, without even washing them. The way we keep on living and relying on big industries only to feed ourselves nowadays is just wrong in many ways. The governments of every country should work to promote growing one's own food on balconies and gardens, making community gardens and donate abandoned lands to people who want to commit themselves into producing food, instead of keeping on blabbering about supporting the national economy and creating a world focusing just on money and consumerism.
The test done at 20:20 had a variable not tested, the soil. They should take a hybrid seed and an heirloom one and grow them in exactly the same conditions, including the soil. Then a conclusive test can be done on just the hybrid aspect of nutrient uptake. A totally separate test should be done on organic soils versus factory farm fields. That's where 95% of the issue is imo.
They understand this. That’s why they don’t taste the soil, for the same reason all those studies that state cereal is healthier than traditional breakfasts have horrible studies with terrible methodology and tiny pools of data but still get published in all the big journals because their funders “donate” a lot of money for it.
The western world needs a massive economic overhaul so that everybody can afford their own home. You don't need a big backyard to grow your own vegetables - but you can't do it in a fifth floor apartment, and why would you invest in improving your soil if the landlord will raise your rent accordingly? Home ownership in actual houses with backyards is critical to human function.
Truly scandalous. Another example of corporate wealth over public health. Do we not elect our public government representatives to ensure the public is always positioned first on every agenda? Professor-Elizabeth

Yes, they always blame the consumer: "they are demanding that we provide a tomato that is tasteless and has no nutrients." Actually we have to buy whatever is in the grocery store, unless we can grow our own.
The fruits aren't sweet anymore. I bought bagged frozen fruit to make smoothies and it taste like green unriped berries. I had to add sugar to it but it still lacked the flavors of the fruit. Like buying a bag of multiple colors candy thinking the colors are different flavors. When eaten you find all have no flavor at all, and just sugar.
I want to give this video a super thumbs up for a very well done and informative presentation. Please continue to produce this type of information to keep the public aware so that we make wise decisions, not only for our money but for the life of this beautiful planet. Thank you very much.❤❤❤
Gabe Brown is a king of regenerative ag science. You can see and taste the difference of food grown that way compared with store bought. He said years ago that a device to count the nutrients in foods was in the works. We need it.

Not unless they make millions selling them, supplements industry is booming, first they create nutrients deficiency in food then they make profit off it.
The documentary only focused on hybrid plants and ignored GMO plants.. it was only mentioned once! But overall an eye opener for people to get their food back which has been hijacked by big seed companies!
When I began doing research for a marijuana grow room I was building back in 2006, it dawned on me that using mostly NPK based fertilizer in industrial agriculture was most likely doing one or both of two things. It was at the very least not replenishing the trace minerals in the soil or it was actually contributing to leeching of trace minerals and other nutrients from the soil. Every time you grow a vegetable in soil which has only been fortified with nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous, the plant uses up more of what ever trace minerals in the soil that it needs to produce healthy fruits and seeds, without putting any of those minerals back into the soil. It's just common sense.
Centralised control of resources doesn't appear to be sustainable or kind. What would the world look like when households control local food, energy and water supply? The needy may have enough, however the greedy may never be satisfied. Need to apply the knowledge and tools that empowers the local average household to be sustainable and comfortable. Be The Change.
Several years ago i was a leading hand on a farm that grew hybrid pumpkins. I cut some open & dried & kept the seeds. The next year i planted them & grew more They were good but produced no seeds. Australia.
They use nuclear radiation to kill the reproductive system of fruits and vegetables. Then claimed ownership of all seeds. The fruits are dry with no flavor at all.
The plan by monsanctos is to take the generous fertile fecundity out of mother nature earth. To modify the seeds to have farmers enslaved upon their hand outs of sterile plants that cannot replace themselves and empower the crop growers like of old The pernicious patenting of the natural life giving fecundity of Gaia.
For the people discussing buy from local markets, a thought, the local farmers too have to buy the seed from the same companies..... The vice grip of these companies over seed will have to be broken.
If you ask the farmers at the market about their varieties, you may find people growing heirlooms. I know I have 6 different varieties of heirloom tomato growing in my home garden right now and I'm thrilled to tell anyone who'll listen about them. I know I had a great conversation with an older gentleman selling watermelons about what varieties he had. He helped me choose between a moon and stars water melon and a rattlesnake watermelon. Those are both old non-hybrid melon varities ,and the moon and stars melon I bought was delicious.
Seeds that can only be used once to grow is a huge issue for future. If someone attacks a factory that produces those type of seeds, there is gona be a starvation in nation as no1 will be able to plant anything. Other issue is that those type of plans in mass can get sick in mass, since they are all same genetics. (you know what happened to best bananas)
I never understood why making infertile seeds isn't a crime against humanity. The seeds that are stored in ice blocks aren't accessible to the common people. This is why many people are hoarding seeds in their basements because they know eventually you won't be sold seeds to grow your own as plants the NWO.
No, there won't really be starvation. Some farmers are just going to go back to producing their own seeds until supply returns and others will switch to a different variety. Also, there isn't just 1 factory producing these seeds. They'll just redirect the products to different sites. That isn't really the issue. Plants getting vulnerable to a common diseases are an issue though. We managed to overcome that with bananas by switching to other, more resistant banana variety. So, there's certainly ways to work around these diseases. Not great, but it's not a complete disaster as often suggested.
Bit late but Norway have an entire seed storage facility just in case something happens, theyve given out seeds already after floods. These are natural seeds that u can take new seeds from. The facility is up a mountain where its always below freezing temp so the seeds dont need to be stored in expensive containers iirc.
@@yvrelna How would farmers go back to producing 'their own seeds'? They don't keep them because they have been growing bought seeds for years, decades in most cases.
Companion planting with rotation of crops farmed organically was and is supreme... Being more expensive only the wealthy now have constant access to best quality nutrition
Hands down the best documentary I’ve every watched ! Thank you so much for getting the word out ! I am a small farmer and just had my eyes opened from this !
Paying $100 per kg while you sell it for $63000 per kg is just nuts. They can easily pay $1000 which will be life changing for these farmers, and still make 50X or more on the same produce.
There's a reason why there's fewer farmers now than before. *1)* Cost *2)* The time needed & *3rd)* The Worsened Condition on Farmers through the years. Which is ironic cause Farmers have a higher immune system than people living in the citys. And the Demand is high on Farmers *(Worldwide)*
I am a little bit worried by the presumption that everybody buys rubbish fruit and vegetables from the cheapest supermarket. There's no mention of where the vegetables that tested so low on nutrients came from. I grow my own here in UK, and I know loads of people who do the same. This documentary doesn't seem to acknowledge that at all.

@@angeronalove5799 even meats and vegetables are genetically modified so if you buy anything from the store you are buying hybrid food. It doesnt need to be bread or sweets.

Occasionally someone catches a tuna, but that isn't nearly as common.

This makes me want to grow my own food. Supermarket tomatoes in Europe do not taste of anything anymore. I have purchased funny-shaped, bright red and super tasty tomatoes from a small local farmer in Costa Rica - they were real tomatoes!
this tomato story is amazing, in a single breath the guy admits that it was done to prolog the lifespan in order for Israel to sell tomatoes to EU without it being spoilt, yet admits that it is tasteless, miracle of Israel's desert farming, boycott this junk, who knows whether it is not toxic..
We sell a lot of fruit from South Africa to Europe. If our apples arrive their with a bit of cosmetic sunburn, it gets dumped. And we must pay the cost of the dumping.

Just watched a doctor talk about how glysophates in the soil/air/rain destroy the bacteria in our body that keeps up healthy , its stops the amino acids from forming the proteins our bodys need to grow properly, and the result is brain injury in the young and elderly (autism / alzhiemers) abd cancers in all people , Monsanto is largely to blame with the heavy use of roundup type herbicide, and even if you grow organically at home you will still get glysophates in your body from the air/rain , it would take 50 years for our environment to recover if we stopped using it TODAY , and pur fsrmers have become sooooo reliant on synthetic fertilizer and herbicides that it would take them just as long to be able to farm naturally again This doctors and his peers have discovered that bacterias and fungus in the soil create molecules similsr to the chemotherapy he was developing and thats when they realized that the bacteria in your body also create molecules to kill on cancer. But since we poisoned our food sustem those bacterias are not functioning properly and now we have a crazy high cancer rste even in young people

I gave up on tomatoes long ago, they have absolutely no taste. This guy is so cynical, saying people will add flavor with salt and oil anyway. The question is, what is being done to “organic” broccoli, kale, spinach, potatoes, onions?
when food becomes an industry, healthcare becomes a industry too and humans are the products.
thanks to the american medical association - especially thanks to nathan smith davis and morria fishbein - healthcare already is an industry, don't worry...
its all about making the most product for the most profit, and we all see how that is working out :/
humans aren't the products - the products are drugs, preventable medical intervention and disease "management" services, and ultra processed foods. humans are more the value extraction vehicles facilitating a revolving door of never ending preventable or reversible chronic disease, medical interventions, and endless symptom management drugs.

Bring communities back. Give farmers their land back. Give cooperations less power over our well-being and buy from a farmer. Or start a garden and trade with a friend, family, or neighbors. BRING COMMUNITIES BACK.
You can give information about the food industry all day. It will only educate us about the dangers happening. everyone can plant herbs or a small garden. Herbs is better than pharmaceuticals. I live in an apartment and have teas, herbal medicines, and mini bell peppers.

We survived ice age and mammoths were our saviors. vegetables are created too and didn't existed in now known form few thousand years ago. Brusel sprouts without bitter taste were developed only 35 years ago. Peppers or tomatoes came from America and even natives known that you have eat tomato without seeds and skin to not get poisoned.

Researchers found we got only 22 teaspoons (tsp) of sugar when food was, for millennia, there to gather & hunt. 😂In this profit based industrial food system, the standard American diet (SAD) puts 22 tsp per DAY into our bodies. Hardwired to eat ripe sweet fruit in the brief autumn harvest and add fat for winter before grain storage, supply chains, freezers.
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is banned in many advanced nations. It is proven by several large studies to cause inflammation in many systems of the body. As it unnaturally extracts and concentrates fructose, it produces billion$ for the food processing industry, fast food, in the supermarket "snack" aisle, bakery section. Anything in a package, processed, you find HFCS, foods stripped of nutrients, GMOs, cheap seed oils, excess salt.
A handful of small populations have been protected from the current culture and foodways. "Blue Zones", living the way humans have for millennia. By mere accident of being physically isolated, left alone to keep the ways of their ancestors. Inevitably discovered years ago, and recently mined by various media for views.
The basics in all reports are nutrient rich food, 💤, moderate activity, positive daily interaction in a collaborative group, a sense of purpose. Some impose belief systems on the facts; quasi-religion vegan / veg'n and other religions.
This ended up long, we're not used to reading since screens replaced print. It seems self-indulgent to write so much, only there's a striking contrast between the Blue Zones remnants and the indu$trial.
That 22 tsp. of sugar was in a whole year, when we would gather & hunt. Industries now get 22 tsp. per DAY into our bodies. And we pay in $, in healthspan both.
As most humans are collected under increasingly centralized systems, more of us are growing restless.
We developed, survived (at one point down to very few, they've traced through DNA and archaeology) and became the humans we are through millennia of tribes. Like most advances it probably just happened by accident. The ones who joined with others, helping, sharing resources as knowledge, tools, supplies and vitally, positive interaction, they survived long enough to breed and keep enough offspring going to train in what works, so a tribe survived and grew as a distinct living entity.
This is what shaped us, at least 20,000 years if I recall the research. It makes sense we would crave THAT, it's what turned out to work.
By contrast, this system after the Industrial Age pulled us out of our tribes, the small close knit farm towns, the extended families, for "jobs".

This is crazy. I hate store tomatoes. Home grown tomatoes are the best!!! As a child I rarely got sick. I played outside in the dirt. Barefoot. I ate fresh tomatoes, carrots, zucchini, etc. pulled from our garden. My grandparents had huge acre sized gardens with anything you could imagine. Peas, pumpkins, squash, corn... My grandmother would then can all of those foods fresh to keep them fed through the winter. I remember going into their underground cellar and grabbing crisp chilled apples. The walls were lined with canned goods. Ahh the memories.

I’m so happy to hear that small farmers and people who have the knowledge of nature and seeds are fighting back against the big gmo companies who are monopolizing our food sources. Keep going so produce diversity can continue.
hybridization in itself doesn't make them less nutritious it because they are selecting for traits such as yield, growth speed and shelf life which all come at the cost of it's nutrition. you can absolutely breed a tomato to have much higher nutrients than the natural heirloom variety, It would just most likely grow slower and produce less per plant.
well yes that is the premise
You're forgetting the soil they grow in
@@Vlad-bs1jsI think that is a fractal of what was meant. We can change the parameters for growing healthy plants. Dirt, lights and mycorhyzial networks are some areas.
What's pertinent isn't finding what he left out.
There are methods that have been tested and tried for healthier heirloom plant foods.
Produce slower means there is more time to collect nutrients. Organic grown has more Vitamins and minerals, if they use older breeds, but not always better taste. The best tomatoes I had came from the garden and from a small market here. They were Italian cherry tomatoes, dark red and delicious.
This is the new poverty, the rich can buy rich nutritious food while the rest of us have to buy low quality food (low nutrition food). This is working against humanity, absolutely crazy. If I could afford to own my own little farm to produce healthy food I would, I probably sell it cheap locally just because I care for other peoples health. We need to change this.
I agree on the problem but every regenerative farmer will tell you exactly why this is happening. Soil is dead. Food is grown with NPK today and soil has lost its microbiology and organic matter. Minerals are very particular if you add too much of one you inhibit the uptake of another. When a farmer plants a seed they add fert directly with the seed. This means it establishes its relationship with the fertilizer and not with all the microbes it needs and today they are also no longer there because they have been starved. You can breed plants all you like but if you ignore the microbes it's not going to change anything.
Add to that the practice of monocropping!
"Soil is dead. "
Because that's how plant agriculture works. The worst is the tilleage which almost instatly kills all the soil bacteria and fungi which are responsible for synthesizing the vitamins and for taking the minerals out of the anorganic matter....
That is why I'm a quite strict carnitarier (on a plant-free, carnivore diet)....
@@btudrus unfortunately it's a little or a lot more complicated than that. Even tillage can have its place in restoration. I can show you both soil destroyed for and by livestock and for plant based monoculture. It's the how, not the cow, is very true though.
@@btudrusbased
Man it don't take a regenerative farmer, it takes someone who isn't an idiot, that's all that's it. We need to stop acting like the solutions to these problems are hard, this is exactly the poison mind set that those behind these companies want to spread. You literally don't do anything and it will heal itself, how freaking hard is that? Man they're so good at what they do they got you thinking even doing nothing is hard.
the vitamin and nutrient content that they are referring to are from ripe fruits and vegetables but we don't receive those in the supermarkets. When they pick anything for mass consumption, it hasn't even ripened on the plant yet!
Exactly
My concern completely! When I go for food it is hard to find food that is ripe. All I have come across lately is green or unripened fruits and vegies. These obviously lack a fully ripened food's nutrients. I am talking about organic and regular produce... both.
I buy frozen produce. Way healthier as its snap frozen from ripe
Yeah I’m skeptical about that comparison of modern vegetables to some random French vegetables in the 1900’s.
@@micca903I don’t understand this statement. Think about livestock also.
You can tell by the delicious taste alone that homegrown crops are MUCH more nutritious than the ones bought in a grocery store
You need to ask a lab to do some tests on your homegrown food. More delicious doesn't equal to more nutricious.
@@lingfengge6666 I don’t need lab tests to know that homegrown fruits and veggies are more nutritious than those bought from companies who care more about quantity than quality.
@@lingfengge6666 yes, more delicious does mean more nutritious. The sugar content in vegetables directly relates to the health and nutrient content.
@@Circuit_Design_Services No, your opinion on nutritions is totally wrong. 'Delicious' has nothing to do with nutritions. Some nutritious foods taste awful, and some delicious foods are no good for your health.
Nutrition is dependant on your gut biome and digestive system , vegetable’s and fruits should only be used as a extra - real food that’s compatible with the human digestive system and has the most bio available nutrients is - Meat and fish , something available all year round unlike seasonal produce that’s full of sugar and starches - great for fattening up for winter but as a regular source of food its a far from ideal , most of the current things we eat never existed when the human digestive system evolved and certainly were never farmed . I doubt anything available In stores is of an decent quality and loaded with too many toxins , home grown from the right stock with decent fertile soil and plenty of sun will always be better than something mass produced .

We moved to the U.S. several years ago and then started my search for good tomatoes. When I asked people where they buy normal tomatoes they didn’t know what the problem is.
So now I know that most of the Americans have never tasted a real tomato and don’t know how tasty and flavorful it can be.
Totally true. I grew up in California, but we had a big garden and grew our own tomatoes, fruits and veggies. I moved to another state for university when I was 17 and the first time I bought a tomato at the grocery store, I was appalled. No flavor at all! There are people who have never had a real tomato.
Depends where you go. I grew up eating tomatoes from the garden in our backyard. We also had a cherry tree, bell peppers, and turnips I chose to grow as a child. When my parents bought a house on 1/2 acres, they planted tomatoes, potatoes, rhubarb, green beans and strawberries and mom canned these. We didn’t buy tomatoes or green beans as they grew enough. I grew herbs on decks and patios and then added jalapenos and pablanos. I had praying mantises and a caterpillar that liked parsley show up yearly. I didn’t mind sharing my parsley, I had plenty.
Tomatoes and green beans used to taste so good. Now they are tasteless. Grocery stores are selling garbage.
Then buy from home grown farmers, at ten times the cost, and twice the nutritional value. Not calculating the cost of getting to the farmer, or the last in overripe fruit. If you want it, and are prepared to do something, and pay that price, it is available. But I assume it is easier to complain about it.

I work in fresh tomato business and I can confirm I never have claims from supermarkets about their taste or nutrient value. All my clients care about is low price, long shelf life and uniform color.
As a producer I am able to grow better taste tomatoes and increase their nutrient value by choosing right varieties and investing in soil health, but none of my clients are willing to pay more for that.
Yeah, this video is painting the seed companies to blame for the issue, but really the reason we end up in this place is more about modern consumer and supermarket preferences that is more to blame.
Everyone's just trying to grow and develop what the market demands. And the market unfortunately demands foods that don't taste funky (read: bland) and that lasts forever rather than one that have more interesting flavours and better nutrients.
If supermarkets start showing nutrients profiles for fresh produces, that can actually be great as they will allow costumers to start seeing the issues and change customers demands.
In western society supermarket culture is dominating the market. From their survival perspective it’s obvious why they must choose shelf life, low price and uniform colour over nutrient value.
For this to change there firstly should be a cultural change in consumer preferences. Hopefully as a society we will develop our wellbeing to the point when we start to care about the stuff we are eating.
That’s so short sighted from the consumer’s perspective, because you’d need fewer high quality tomatoes, so the cost should equal out. Alas, I don’t think most people think that way.
I love knobbly fruit a vegetables
I am a tomato consumer and am willing to pay for better tomatoes. Your wholesale customers arent willing but the end consumer is...
Now it make sense, i almost thought i lose the ability to taste stuff because almost all the veggie and fruits losing their taste and aroma that i used to taste and smell when i was a child
Nice information, thank you
I'd rather have my tomatoes small and flavorful, than large and without nutrients.
Engineered Obsolescence - The current trajectory of plant nutrition requires the consumer 'must' eat more tomorrow, than yesterday. This is unsustainable and they know it. Government Ministers are GM's too.

GROW YOUR OWN is still the golden rule for good health.
Surely quality of the soil should also be tested as well.
It's definitely part of it, I've grown food in good and bad soil and the difference is noticeable.
I moved country in search for the old fashioned tasty and healthful fruit and vegetables, unfortunately not all countries are educated to appreciate good taste. And then, it is dead obvious, the tastier, the more vitamins has. I now moved to a home with a bit of land where I grow my own tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and many more. I will never ever buy tasteless veggies from the supermarket.
Come to uganda and you'll be pleased
What country?
Wow as a European I’m very disappointed with Switzerland or France 😔 slavery and profit still major issues in the world 🙏
I dabbled in growing food to sell. And it was enlightening because i quickly realised that invesing in expensive soil, nutrients, was well expensive. And also the seed varieties. I also realised the better more nutrient dense foods produced smaller yeilds. I was thinking most people would never know if i cut corners. Only i would. I tried to grow the very best but it took a lot of effort. And as i wrapped up my experiment i can clearly see why we are here now. Until supermarket publicly disclose nutrient densities there just wont be the demand for better quality vs what externally appears bigger and better.😢 Its truly sad
Excellent film! Thank you! I feel a bit irritated and sad because of what these large multinational seed companies are doing to our planet and people! And they are everywhere, like hungry ghosts! May the self sufficiency grow in small communities all over!
Crash Test for Tomatos lol. Even bacteria don't eat that!
Want a real nutrient shocker? Typical store eggs (like EL Best) will tout the riboflavin content as a number that consumers really have no knowledge of comparatively. A typical backyard egg contains 20 times the riboflavin on average!!
This is an example of one nutrient in one product. Now scale this across the entire food industry and no wonder most people are fat yet starving of nutrients. It's a very odd and unnatural state of things.
Then they can sell you vitamins. Perfect!

@@ne0nZchr0me They should labeled them so people know don't you think so ? Such a childish comment. I know your kind.

You can't make good profit out of healthy people.
The is an eye opener. Suggest should also make 1 minute short videos summarizing the whole truth for general public education.
The problem is, back in the day ppl died of starvation. Now we have controlled long lasting food, but that means we are getting fat and having other health problems from malnutrition.
very true when I eat the Western diet I get malnourished like an anorexic lose calcium deficient calcium levels no PTH very Rare. I have to watch everything I eat and drink so hard to find the right things number one avoid supermarkets processed food.
That’s my point.
There is also a significant decrease in minerals from the "quick processed" salt that we eat. Celtic salt (hand harvested sea salt) has 82 minerals in it. Table salt on the other hand has nearly all of them removed during processing, leaving mostly just sodium left. This is what causes high blood pressure and other health problems. No wonder we are all mineral deficient. Gotta get those minerals back in our diets!
the high blood pressure i believe comes from lack of potassium. potassium and sodium are ying and yang, need a balance.
problem is grain has anti nutrient that take away potassium, and people eat it a lot...
so now doctors think salt is bad.........
@@hankstorm3135 well people think salt is bad because decades ago big sugar paid for some "studies" that said salt was the problem rather than the mass amounts of sugar people ate...
I grew up in Italy and I remember very well the taste of the tomatoes grown by my uncle in his garden. Their color was deep red inside, not green, and when you brought them closer to your nose once cut you could smell their deep aroma. Their flavor was strong and delicious. I used to smash them with my hands and put them on a slice of Italian bread softened with water, add just a little bit of olive oil and eat them as my afternoon snack. After my uncle's departure, I have never, even once, found the same taste in any tomato I had bought in every part of the world I had lived. No matter how many times I tried reproducing my favorite afternoon snack as a child, I had never found that taste ever again. And I could say the same for all the other veggies my uncle was growing and for all the fruits (especially figs, blackberries and almonds) that my uncle and I used to pick up from wild trees in the countryside all around. You could eat all of those food on the spot, without even washing them.
The way we keep on living and relying on big industries only to feed ourselves nowadays is just wrong in many ways. The governments of every country should work to promote growing one's own food on balconies and gardens, making community gardens and donate abandoned lands to people who want to commit themselves into producing food, instead of keeping on blabbering about supporting the national economy and creating a world focusing just on money and consumerism.
The test done at 20:20 had a variable not tested, the soil. They should take a hybrid seed and an heirloom one and grow them in exactly the same conditions, including the soil. Then a conclusive test can be done on just the hybrid aspect of nutrient uptake. A totally separate test should be done on organic soils versus factory farm fields. That's where 95% of the issue is imo.
They understand this. That’s why they don’t taste the soil, for the same reason all those studies that state cereal is healthier than traditional breakfasts have horrible studies with terrible methodology and tiny pools of data but still get published in all the big journals because their funders “donate” a lot of money for it.
They don't want to talk about the soil because the money they get from synthetic salt fertilizers etc is so high lol
This is why you grow your own garden vegetables from heirloom seeds
The western world needs a massive economic overhaul so that everybody can afford their own home. You don't need a big backyard to grow your own vegetables - but you can't do it in a fifth floor apartment, and why would you invest in improving your soil if the landlord will raise your rent accordingly? Home ownership in actual houses with backyards is critical to human function.

It is much easier to arrest four people than 1,000 people ...
Unless the four are rich and the 1,000 are poor
What do I care about a tomato that will not rot if it's tasteless? Disgusting vision of the world....
when you have salt and olive oil you don't need taste!!! That says it all... this is how much they care about creating healthy products!
I finally started learning to grow my own food and medicinal herbs in my tiny yard.
Yes, they always blame the consumer: "they are demanding that we provide a tomato that is tasteless and has no nutrients." Actually we have to buy whatever is in the grocery store, unless we can grow our own.
The fruits aren't sweet anymore.
I bought bagged frozen fruit to make smoothies and it taste like green unriped berries. I had to add sugar to it but it still lacked the flavors of the fruit.
Like buying a bag of multiple colors candy thinking the colors are different flavors. When eaten you find all have no flavor at all, and just sugar.

It’s seems to me that the soil full of nutrients will yield a fruit or vegetable full of nutrients. 🌱
And they will also tell you that supplements are a waste of money. There is no end to the greed.
Not unless they make millions selling them, supplements industry is booming, first they create nutrients deficiency in food then they make profit off it.
The documentary only focused on hybrid plants and ignored GMO plants.. it was only mentioned once! But overall an eye opener for people to get their food back which has been hijacked by big seed companies!
When I began doing research for a marijuana grow room I was building back in 2006, it dawned on me that using mostly NPK based fertilizer in industrial agriculture was most likely doing one or both of two things. It was at the very least not replenishing the trace minerals in the soil or it was actually contributing to leeching of trace minerals and other nutrients from the soil.
Every time you grow a vegetable in soil which has only been fortified with nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous, the plant uses up more of what ever trace minerals in the soil that it needs to produce healthy fruits and seeds, without putting any of those minerals back into the soil.
It's just common sense.
Centralised control of resources doesn't appear to be sustainable or kind.
What would the world look like when households control local food, energy and water supply? The needy may have enough, however the greedy may never be satisfied.
Need to apply the knowledge and tools that empowers the local average household to be sustainable and comfortable. Be The Change.
Government and corporate are owner of this world as they own everything including others human being.
Several years ago i was a leading hand on a farm that grew hybrid pumpkins.
I cut some open & dried & kept the seeds.
The next year i planted them & grew more
They were good but produced no seeds.
Australia.
They use nuclear radiation to kill the reproductive system of fruits and vegetables.
Then claimed ownership of all seeds.
The fruits are dry with no flavor at all.
The plan by monsanctos is to take the generous fertile fecundity out of mother nature earth. To modify the seeds to have farmers enslaved upon their hand outs of sterile plants that cannot replace themselves and empower the crop growers like of old
The pernicious patenting of the natural life giving fecundity of Gaia.
For the people discussing buy from local markets, a thought, the local farmers too have to buy the seed from the same companies..... The vice grip of these companies over seed will have to be broken.
If you ask the farmers at the market about their varieties, you may find people growing heirlooms. I know I have 6 different varieties of heirloom tomato growing in my home garden right now and I'm thrilled to tell anyone who'll listen about them.
I know I had a great conversation with an older gentleman selling watermelons about what varieties he had. He helped me choose between a moon and stars water melon and a rattlesnake watermelon. Those are both old non-hybrid melon varities ,and the moon and stars melon I bought was delicious.
It's probably intentional. If you don't get nutrients, you crave food more.
I had a tomato that lasted so long that I threw it out. I was afraid to eat it. So now we are at 100% waste.
There is the documentary effect, meaning you agree with everything here...BUT do try to buy non-hybrids and learn to seed save.
First thing: WHERE to get the ancient seeds from.
Seeds that can only be used once to grow is a huge issue for future. If someone attacks a factory that produces those type of seeds, there is gona be a starvation in nation as no1 will be able to plant anything.
Other issue is that those type of plans in mass can get sick in mass, since they are all same genetics. (you know what happened to best bananas)
I never understood why making infertile seeds isn't a crime against humanity. The seeds that are stored in ice blocks aren't accessible to the common people. This is why many people are hoarding seeds in their basements because they know eventually you won't be sold seeds to grow your own as plants the NWO.
No, there won't really be starvation. Some farmers are just going to go back to producing their own seeds until supply returns and others will switch to a different variety.
Also, there isn't just 1 factory producing these seeds. They'll just redirect the products to different sites. That isn't really the issue.
Plants getting vulnerable to a common diseases are an issue though. We managed to overcome that with bananas by switching to other, more resistant banana variety. So, there's certainly ways to work around these diseases. Not great, but it's not a complete disaster as often suggested.
Bit late but Norway have an entire seed storage facility just in case something happens, theyve given out seeds already after floods.
These are natural seeds that u can take new seeds from.
The facility is up a mountain where its always below freezing temp so the seeds dont need to be stored in expensive containers iirc.
@@yvrelna How would farmers go back to producing 'their own seeds'? They don't keep them because they have been growing bought seeds for years, decades in most cases.
Companion planting with rotation of crops farmed organically was and is supreme...
Being more expensive only the wealthy now have constant access to best quality nutrition
Hands down the best documentary I’ve every watched ! Thank you so much for getting the word out ! I am a small farmer and just had my eyes opened from this !
Disgusting.
Paying $100 per kg while you sell it for $63000 per kg is just nuts.
They can easily pay $1000 which will be life changing for these farmers, and still make 50X or more on the same produce.
Love you guys so much. You never fail to impress me. Never stop doing what you do!
this documentary is hard to watch. I'm heartbroken.
There's a reason why there's fewer farmers now than before. *1)* Cost *2)* The time needed & *3rd)* The Worsened Condition on Farmers through the years.
Which is ironic cause Farmers have a higher immune system than people living in the citys. And the Demand is high on Farmers *(Worldwide)*
I am a little bit worried by the presumption that everybody buys rubbish fruit and vegetables from the cheapest supermarket. There's no mention of where the vegetables that tested so low on nutrients came from. I grow my own here in UK, and I know loads of people who do the same. This documentary doesn't seem to acknowledge that at all.
Its far worse in the US than it is in Europe.
Don't be tempted to think that the situation in Europe is good or at least acceptable.
Ah, now I know who to blame for the plastic taste tomatoes we've been flooded with.
"I don't know what sort of weird science will allow the consumer to scan nutrients."
Engineering, sir. It's called engineering.
thank you Moconomy for this wonderful document. you're not only informing us with issues we don't know, but in addition helping foreigners like me to improve their english. keep the hard work❤😎
But yet they say we don’t need supplements if eating a well balanced diet. I will err on the side of caution with a multivitamin and other supplements.
Ever had your blood tested to see which vitamins and minerals you are lacking? It's good to get a baseline.
@@ASMRGRATITUDE yes low in iron and vitamin D. I was on a Rx iron supplement for a time. I also take D3 MK7 and a multi.
@@SCFLEUR And is it still low? Most multis are pretty much just peed out.
@@nobodycares41431 I was already online that’s why I saw your little comment, hence the quick response. But yeah thanks I eat meat. Thanks for your concern though. Now I can go about my day. 🙄😆
I have been saying for a long time that growing food fast doesn’t make it taste good and that minerals give the food flavor, but people just look at me weird.
Lucky for me i dont eat any of these hybrid crops of any kind anymore.
Unlucky for you these hybrid crops are used to make all processed foods including sweets. So unless you cut out all of it you are still consuming modified crops in which case how can you do that in this modern age.
@@mookat-vw9yf It isn't that hard. There's a transition, certainly, and socializing can sometimes be awkward, but it isn't that difficult to eat real, whole food. No one is forced to buy cereal, bread, Pop-Tarts, cookies, jelly, or whatever else it is that people generally buy. Those are choices.
@@angeronalove5799 even meats and vegetables are genetically modified so if you buy anything from the store you are buying hybrid food. It doesnt need to be bread or sweets. Your basic flour or chicken is hybrid food. You think nature produced super fast growing chicks that become chicken in 6 weeks? Or what about beef and lambs and goats? You think truly all natural? No.
@@angeronalove5799 lets not even talk about seafood that almost all of them contain micro plastics.
@@mookat-vw9yf Very true. I do eat fish/seafood that either I or my neighbors have caught once or twice a week. I live in a pretty remote place in the world. We can only do the best we can do, and at least I know it is wild and fresh. I mainly eat bonito, red snapper, shrimp, and lobster. Occasionally someone catches a tuna, but that isn't nearly as common. There isn't a way to omit all the ick, but a lot of it can be minimized with some mindfulness and a little searching for the best sources possible. I'm glad you mentioned seafood. Many people may not know about that risk.
What an amazing video. Should be re streamed once every two months.
The conflict today is that we, humans, have lost our simple responsibility of taking care of this life, which had been diverted to making money, instead.
Thankyou guys for doing such a deep documentary.
Awareness can only be the first step towards change.
That is why I grow my own!
Mind sharing any tips and the types of produce you grow😊?
Rabbits ,ground hogs and squirrels got most of my vegetables
If I had to rely on home grown I would be malnourished and have some fat rabbits😊
@@TRICHOMETRISTthat’ll lead to a cardiac emergency!
I struggle with the right seeds or base plant is not from a hybrid since they have been around. Any ideas?
@@dr1311 yes , for the rabbits 😂
24:55 His face changed so fast😂
The way he dodged the question really says it all. Profit dictates their actions. And when profit is contrary to customer health, they do not care
I ate almost exclusively vegetables and fruits for 2 months...I got sick😢 Monsanto needs to pay
You were honestly just malnourished
Eating vegetables is important, but there are nutrients your body needs which can't be found in just vegetables.
Human greed is the biggest enemy of all mankind.
Like others before me, thank you for sharing this with the world.
I live in Thailand and we do not have so many issues with our food. Always quality organic food. No meat in 39 years and healthy as it gets
The less sugar a tomato produces, the less mold and bacteria can grow on it. But it will also taste less sweet.
Common sense.
If only lack of sugar was the real problem.
These wonderful beautiful people that are out collecting fieldwork information need to be congratulated for their amazing truthful information.The big company's need to be held accountable for the lies they talk. Totally disgusting how they even lie when on camera for this documentary.Should be so very ashamed of themselves
Can’t y’all dub this for a guy who don’t know French so I can listen to it while I spray at work
Feed the ground and the flavour increases… you are what you eat…
The professor claims the industry doesn't care and dismisses it with an "oh well," yet he chooses to work for them. What a hypocrite.
He is nothing more than a devil's advocate
Truly disgusting.
A scientist without an industry sponsor or goverment grants is just a really smart homeless man.
Wtf do you want him to do? Protest?
He needs to feed his family
This makes me want to grow my own food. Supermarket tomatoes in Europe do not taste of anything anymore. I have purchased funny-shaped, bright red and super tasty tomatoes from a small local farmer in Costa Rica - they were real tomatoes!
this tomato story is amazing, in a single breath the guy admits that it was done to prolog the lifespan in order for Israel to sell tomatoes to EU without it being spoilt, yet admits that it is tasteless, miracle of Israel's desert farming, boycott this junk, who knows whether it is not toxic..
We sell a lot of fruit from South Africa to Europe. If our apples arrive their with a bit of cosmetic sunburn, it gets dumped. And we must pay the cost of the dumping. If the Europeans are less fuzzy about the looks of the fruit, they will get more nutritional value. But we are forced to supply what they will accept.
All of this is monstrous…and each of has a fault. I DO NOT buy those garbage from the supermarket and seed heirlooms in my small garden.
Just watched a doctor talk about how glysophates in the soil/air/rain destroy the bacteria in our body that keeps up healthy , its stops the amino acids from forming the proteins our bodys need to grow properly, and the result is brain injury in the young and elderly (autism / alzhiemers) abd cancers in all people , Monsanto is largely to blame with the heavy use of roundup type herbicide, and even if you grow organically at home you will still get glysophates in your body from the air/rain , it would take 50 years for our environment to recover if we stopped using it TODAY , and pur fsrmers have become sooooo reliant on synthetic fertilizer and herbicides that it would take them just as long to be able to farm naturally again
This doctors and his peers have discovered that bacterias and fungus in the soil create molecules similsr to the chemotherapy he was developing and thats when they realized that the bacteria in your body also create molecules to kill on cancer. But since we poisoned our food sustem those bacterias are not functioning properly and now we have a crazy high cancer rste even in young people
People don't develop autism after they're born, at worse we would get brain malformations if pregnant women ate it, don't be too gullible and too paranoid.
Facebook conspiracy groups are not the most reliable place to get information from
@davidaugustofc2574 I don't even have a Facebook account , go away troll
Please leave autism out of this. We already know it's genetic - and thus, as much a part of normal human adaptation as blue eyes or left handedness.
One has to include pseudoscience everytime they learn about real science.

Note the body has troubles with obtaining the nutrients from hybrid food products,
Unable to properly digest and access nutrients
I gave up on tomatoes long ago, they have absolutely no taste. This guy is so cynical, saying people will add flavor with salt and oil anyway. The question is, what is being done to “organic” broccoli, kale, spinach, potatoes, onions?
Big companies struggle from inefficiency, not from a market with clear demand.
