  2. Organic farming should never be mandated. The problem is regulatory bodies like the EPA which become captured by fanatics who want to ban insecticides, or end farming as much as they can, can impose their agenda on everyone.

    2. Banning poison sprays won’t end farming. It will hit some system-bilkers who call themselves farmers hard, and serve’m right. It will help the kind of farmers who deserve to have farms.

      Chemical fertilizers and insecticidal oils and powders (should) still keep farmers from qualifying as “organic” but they’re not a violent crime against everyone on or near the farm.

      My neighborhood is unfortunately infested with a real bunghole who sprays any “cide” he can get whenever he can, with particular attention to a wild strawberry field, wild morel patch, and other natural treasures. (Once he hoped to devalue land and get real estate deals. Now I think he goes on just for spite, just because being an evil neighbor has become what he does.) I went out, unavoidably, about an hour ago, to get something off the porch, and came in coughing and choking and wheezing from something stronger than previous dicamba formulas, plus feeling that old familiar glyphosate reaction you don’t want to know about. Everybody can be Maced and have major food poisoning at the same time! I’ll have to enlarge the type to read things on the computer for days, probably until it rains! No singing voice, no nutrition from food, inflammation and kidney reactions puffing out my waistline by half…I don’t think anyone has a right to do this to me. I don’t believe you think anyone has a right to do it to you, either.

      We should all have sympathy for real farmers who are trying to produce food people and animals can eat. We should all have contempt for so-called farmers who cling to poison sprays. Once they were fooled. Now they are intentionally injuring human beings.

    1. I tried to market “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Cheese!” brand edible chalk, but I couldn’t get startup funding.

  6. How would chemical fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicide application ever be policed? Of course it’s a scam.

    1. One way to know is that many if not most “food allergies” are allergies to chemicals applied to food. Farmers can say they didn’t spray when they did (or when pesticide vapors drifted through the air and contaminated their crops), but some customers will know. I am a human glyphosate detector. Others react to tiny traces of other chemicals that need to be banned but, due to industry gaslighting, may not know which chemicals those are.

  7. It’s my understanding that organic farming is largely self-regulated in the US, by questionnaire without any followup or field testing after original certification.

    1. Yes. That’s possible because most organic farmers are sincere–often parents of chemical-sensitive children who want to raise food their children can eat. The current system of encouraging farmers to stay chemical-dependent while organic food costs more does, inherently, encourage farmers to sell food that’s not organically grown under the “organic” label.

      Also, the federal “organic” label doesn’t even mean food is glyphosate-free, which means it’s useless unless you know personally that the farmers don’t spray this carcinogen right on the part of the crop that’s going to be sold as food.

  9. No one has yet to convince me that I am actually HARMING my health when I eat a BIG salad I’ve made from all the inorganic (?) vegetables and salad fixings. Yeah … so that’s just as bad as eating highly processed foods? Really? I’m gonna die from chemical-tainted lettuce? Really?

    Hippie naturopath Puhleeze!

    1. Some people have resistance to some toxins. (Mithridates died old.) However, many people don’t notice the damage they’re doing to themselves–though others do. Possible glyphosate reactions are known to include cognitive impairment. Most other chemicals have more consistent effects on different individuals, but when everyone is sicker in a different way at the same time, glyphosate is probably involved.

      There’s also a phenomenon discovered in studies of, but not limited to, glyphosate, in which fertile females of many species including humans don’t show reactions to certain toxins themselves. Instead they sequester the toxins in any placentas they may be gestating, producing non-viable offspring. This trait is associated with populations whose ancestors came from, or who still live in, southwestern Europe. When women reach midlife or domestic animals are spayed, they lose this “benefit” (women don’t always think it’s a benefit) and react to the toxins themselves.

      Your salad may not affect you–at all, ever. Or it may be allowing toxins to build up and give you liver cancer later. Nobody really knows.

  10. Organic is a scam, however, that does not mean food is being developed, grown, packaged and delivered properly.

  11. I believe it was “Uncle Al” Schwartz who coined that definition of “organic”. Denizen of sci.chem and other newsgroups back in the day. Anyone else remember him?

  12. Excellent video! Thanks for sharing. One thing I would add is that “we don’t know whether pesticides actually kill people” because information is being suppressed. We certainly know that use of some pesticides correlates with incidence of some disease conditions that kill people. The most obvious correlations include PARaquat with PARkinson’s Disease and GLyphosate with GLuten-intolerance-LIKE reactions (since glyphosate is different from gluten, many people have been told they must have gluten intolerance when, in fact, they tolerate unsprayed wheat just fine). Gluten intolerance used to be easy and even cheap to treat–in the 1990s the AMA said that “No treatment is necessary except avoidance of all wheat gluten as long as the patient lives.” Now diet may or may not affect symptoms, and symptoms are increasing in severity, often fatal, which they used not to be. But doctors, and Secretary Kennedy, have been given incentives not to study this kind of thing in depth.

    If anyone Out There has any chronic internal bleeding condition, it will be very expensive, but would be a service to humankind, to test samples for glyphosate exposure. I would guess that at least 95% of people whose internal bleeding (wherever!) varies from day to day will show more glyphosate exposure on days when they lose more blood.
