Pick you poison….
Is it going to be the duke, or ya gonna eat the Apeel instead?
A lot of downplaying in this video. If you think organic pesticides, much of which is using natural defensive chemicals from plants, like capsaicin, is interacting with your cells on a molecular level the same as RoundUp/Glyphosate, then you are not informed on the science and how different chemicals metabolize through the body. At an elementary level the chemistry might seem not to dissimilar. At an advanced level the chemistry is drastically different interms of how your biology is affected by it. If you think capsaicin is just as likely to cause cancer as freakin RoundUp pesticides, your not as bright as you think you are.
Organic food non-organic food it doesn’t matter cause it all goes to shit anyway right
Nobody says yuppie anymore, they use hipster, and even hipster is old lol
one question remains, why do organic carrots taste better?
4chan farms 😄
All jokes aside, I’d really hire Horton for a real life commercial
E coli? As long as you cooked your food its alright right? I mean if you scared of e-coli you won’t literally eat anything.
You’re much less likely to eat tons of glyphosate if you eat organic!
I always love the "Adam Ruins Everyhing" vibes of these videos. Keep them coming please ♥️
Dog owners
exactly. when the orgamic food laws started getting written it was clear it was a joke based on the capitalist honor system. which is to say none. and immideiately decided i wasnt going to pay more for foods that still contained petroleum based fertilizers. yea, and it has sorta tuned into a snobby culty wierd group. thats willing to eat some random ass stuff. someone served me a gluton free (whatevert hat means) uhhh, wafrer i guess. with apricot spread and bits of fig and called it some kinda of pizza. it was gross. but she had tig bitties and i was wanting to be her boyfriend so i ate it. it was gross. later on my way home i stopped and grabbed a few slices of "pie" because piza had been put in my head and i ate gross organic shit instead. trader joe i think is where we bought all that crap
well, i grow most of my food so i do not have to worry about it. however, i do know many who grow very good organic products. you are talking about corporate industrial farming, not about organic farming. and actually, we do know that the synthetic chemicals the non-organic farming use are worst for the environment and us. with most things, it takes precision and nuance to understand the truth. i appreciate the comedy but it would be better to delve deeper in research, preferably ones not funded by industrial ag, before you sully your reputation for truth.
Nows the time to plant all your seeds my friends. ❤💫
LOOK UP HOW GMO FOOD UNALIVES BUGS. MY EX’S FATHER ATE GMO FOODS. HIS STOMACH BLEW UP N HE BLE ED OUT INSIDE GUT. HE WAS IN AGONY N DI ED AS HE GOT TO THE HOSPITAL.
ROGER GREW UP WITH ORGANIC REAL FOOD. NOW DAYS, WELL SINCE BUSH N GILL BATES USING MONSANTO, THE FOOD IS TO UNALIVE US ALL.
WE DONT THINK WERE BETTER N DO NOT LIKE THE PRICES!!! IT WOULD BE GREAT IF LIKE IN THE PAST ALL FOOD WAS ORGANIC.
TY AMISH FOR CONTINUE TO GROW REAL FOOD WITHOUT TOXINS!
Yeah, so this is not actually accurate.
It depends on the type of organic label, it depends on the soil it was grown in. Not saying organic is all perfect, but better to have more nutrients in your food and less poison.
Watch videos by Tyrone Hayes about atrazine’s effects on frogs and humans (it made frogs lgbt and male humans have micropenises). And glyphosate is linked with higher rates of cancer.
What are the "organic poisons" this video talks about and what health problems do they cause?
U.K. carrot are massive now compare to Netherland organic one from same store, non organic ones are don’t taste of anything and aren’t sweet, very watery
We would be better off with local or small farms. I don’t trust any of the big corporations.
I know that organic meats and vegetables and coffee does not make me hurt like the pesticide riddled vegetables, Not to mention the meat products that are pumped full of wholesome, steroids so I would not write organic foods off completely

ohhhh you know the guy on the right is proud of him. 🤩
Farming is nice I grow the American Apple tree in Jamaica 🇯🇲🍎
Our boi cannot do a southern accent to save his life. lol
"The prison laborers who work on my tilapia farm." ::Bag of tilapia says Made in China:: Must mean the Uyghur prisoners.
H o r s e p u c k e y
God man, if you want to try to use manure as a villain, its not apples, they don’t spray apple trees with manure. Love it when city people try to do a skit about farming. Try to use manure for vegetables, that would be the better example. People eat organic to avoid pesticides. I’d rather use copper or spinosad, works like a charm. You also could have used the fact that organic is only viable when farmed between farms that use pesticides to keep the bugs down. Lastly stating cancer rates are going down by using pesticides, really? You guys on crack or something? Cancer rates tend to track with obesity rates and as America gets fatter the incidence of cancer is increasing not decreasing. Why don’t you two guys, plant some seeds and do some real physical labor for once in your life.
Do kids these days even know the term "yuppie", more of an 80s and 90s slang, bc that was the last time young people COULD be upwardly mobile
5:23 "I’m a traditional polyamorist." Did you mean polytheist?
Wow
As a gig shopper this is great. I have some folks that wont accept anything buy "organic"
Well, I guess you need to know the farmer to really know how your food is grown
What a great time to not live in the U.S. 😅
The only thing morally right is breathing. Everything else is wrong 🙃. Or more like, we have to grow all our own food and live off grid. Otherwise we are participating in horrible things when we spend our hard earned money. Kinda sucks🤦
This guy is a gem
pesticides are the lesser evil compared to the diseases they treat
The vegans charlatans are advertising cheap vegan eggs as alternatives
There is a good reason to use organic vegetables and fruits. That is IF you are making juice at home out of root vegetables, such as carrots, or purple potatoes. Certified organics are tested for heavy metal content which is important for home juicers to be aware of. But this is only important if you juice a lot, like everyday.
lol This guy is hilarious. But I still feel partial to organic food…
There are quite a few foreign study’s that show conventional farming uses are linked to increased risk of cancers and dementia. I would never be fully organic but there are some foods that are for sure better to eat organic based on the number and types of pesticides used. Ive not worked in the industry and see a lot of people mentioning how the standards for organic is a joke, all i can say is I hope this becomes part of RFK Jr’s MAHA initiative to root out corruption.
I love this so much. lol
It doesn’t matter after all. Whether u lie or tell the truth, doesn’t mean shit to people. U write "Smoking is killing" on the package of cigarettes and people buy it anyway, so…
You had me at prison workers on tilapia farms

We find it funny that folks that supposedly care about what goes on their body will buy food from Joe blow on the side of the road at a farmers market with no chain of custody or real certifications
Isnt organic means that it wasnt made in a lab. Like we humans are organic and ai is not.

Its been "up" for the last 2 years. This isnt a "new" or "recent" thing
Yields on organic crops are far lower than “regular” grains and oilseeds, especially GMOs. Fine to feed the yuppies, but if we tried to feed the world using organic methods, millions would starve and millions of acres would need to be converted to farmland from other uses. Like, say, rainforest.
Why is organic more expensive? 1) They can get it. 2) Lower yield. Fertilizer works.
if reproducing ( having babies) was honest…..
I was just telling my husband last night that i think organic is a scam and here i am the next morning seeing this video! Thank you for the confirmation!
I saw a video by a farmer who grows organic, but doesn’t pay for the label as apparently it costs £600 per year, per crop variety produced. It’s a racket!
