'Food' quality is dropping faster than the rise in prices.

Blueberries these days can be left in the fridge for weeks.
They will shrink to nothing and yet not grow any fungus. Amazing.

[@brendawilamowski8089]

It must be the chemicals they use.

[@seaweedhero1707]

Don't Panic. It's Organic.

Are Organic Foods Healthier?
That is what Nutritionists , health conscience people, vegan vegetarian ones , organic agricultural industries say so !.
As for me , Im vegan conventional , whole food plant based, no oil not even olive oil.
Not that I dont want consumme organic's but because i can't afford those xpensive organic's product.
So what the benefit of being vegan then ??? If i cant afford organic product ???....
Water... experts say drink ph ballance water, spring water, filtered water, etc. etc...and all those kind of water are xpensive i can not afford...
So what left to eat nd drink for Vegan Conventional like me then ???....

If you post this comment on nutritionfacts.org site Dr.Greger will probably answer you, but not here! Cheers.

[@lloydchristmas4547]

Phil Ad, agreed.

[@lloydchristmas4547]

fransiscaveronica7, before you went plant based, likely you spent more money. If you are doing whole food plant based, then your food is now cheaper. So if you buy organic, you are either spending equal or less the amount you used to spend on a standard American diet.

[@ap3008]

So….we…don’t…know? I have infertility, I am trying to get as healthy as possible..I don’t know what the … to eat. I am doing a Mediteranean diet…and try to buy as organic as I can (and the expenses are quite something to buy organic food) And you’re telling me that we don’t know.

If you can get any. Good food goes as far as trust ,and liars are in it for the money.

[@swiss4ever93]

Isn't he contradicting himself to his video "can pesticides be rinsed off"?

[@username-yn5yo]

no

[@brendawilamowski8089]

Certainly not the pesticides that are taken up through the root system and delivered to the fruit or vegetable
