Is Organic Food Really Worth The Price?

[@taniahummelgard2290]

I planted 45 tomato plants last summer. Bought one of these fruit strainers for my Kitchen Aid and made my own marinara (known as Passata in Italy). I have so many jars of tomato passata it’s ridiculous. And since I didn’t use pesticides at all I dried out the skins, ground them to a powder and use it as tomato paste to thicken my passata. Gardening needs to become mainstream again

Sounds great! When's dinner? 😂 when I grew my garden I learned at the end of the tomatoe season (when you have green tomatoes on the vines in the fall) to take those green tomatoes wrap them in news paper and up them in a large grocery brown paper bag. Within a few days/week they rippen. This is what I would make tomato sause with and freeze the sause for use during the winter. A wonderful treat on a cold night.

Always at the end of the day organic or not it’s important to get your fruits in, as someone that only has 80 dollars to spend a month on groceries after all my other bills come out I can’t spend 6-9 dollars on one pack of strawberries. So just worry about surviving right now, you can do it.

80 for groceries a month isn't much at all😢 20 a week. You need to eat more than that❤Life can truly be so hard!! I totally get it! I'm not sure about where u live but right dwn the rd from me there is a community resource center. There they have a food pantry where tbey give u a little bit of everything!! And ur aloud to go every week. And they also have another part where u can get meats and all types of good veggies and fruits! U should definitely look into food pantries in your area and also community resource centers. Also if after you pay all your bills and you only have 80 left to eat, there's a great chance you would qualify for food benefits. Where I used to work, id help young pregnant woman with resources and applying for benefits & its not as hard or aggravating as many pple claim! U can go online and apply or run up there. It doesn't take long at all. And you renew maybe once or twice a year. I definitely recommend you give it a try❤ the worst that can happen is u don't get approved but it's most definitely worth trying. Wether pr not u do get approved or do not, Go to the food pantries too...God Bless you 🙏🏼 ❤❤II was responding to Sam/the person whim commented above HOWEVER ANYONE & EVERYONE CAN LOOK INTO ALL RESOURCES IN THEIR TOWN, FOOD PANTRIES & SOME ARE AT THE TOWN COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTERS.

You can soak most of your produce in vinegar water for 20 minutes to clean the pesticides from your fruits and vegetables. Of course there are a few exceptions! I love Bobby's videos and he's very helpful but at the moment many Middle income families are struggling with their expenses (grocery bills are a big one!) vinegar is relatively cheap and may help with healthier fruits and vegetables without the extra cost.

[@kristinb5121]

I feel like the USDA isn’t necessarily doing a great job of monitoring the organic producers. I read an article about a farming group in the midwest that figured out a way to fool the system using a complex network of organic and non-organic farms. Whole Foods had been buying these non-organic products as organic. If we’re paying more, which I’m ok with, there needs to be heavy-duty supervision. Either that, or change the laws. We allow way more nasty stuff than European countries.

[@DukeGMOLOL]

Organic ag is nonsense anyway, their non-organic crops were just as safe as any organic crop.

[@suzannezoubeck5216]

The scandal with that midwest organic farming thing is an exception to the general rule of what's going on in the world of organic foods. PLUS you have to be aware of the difference between produce and foods that have more than one ingredient (prepared foods can have some small amount of things they don't even have to put on the label...you can check to see if I'm right, but I think I am). There are local certifying agencies that certify organic farms and if you're interested you should get to know the group that certifies farms organic in your neck of the woods. Buy certified organic, but also buy seasonal and local if at all possible. I'm sorry to say that some of the certifying agencies are reportedly rubber stamp groups and are not doing the job they are required to do (sorry but I don't have names EXCEPT for OCI which I see on a lot of prepared foods from Trader Joes...this group has been sued several times for certifying food organics that weren't, so I don't trust them). However, they're also in the minority (though i know there shouldn't be ANY). In the northeast, there are two groups...NOFA (Northeast Organic Famers Association...they certify farms in NY, NJ, RI, CT, MA, NH, VT) and MOFGA (Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners). These are both STELLAR organizations that provide true accountability to make sure the farmers are doing what they're supposed to be doing (the NOFA code for organic farmers of veg is 116 pages long). I'm a member of the NOFA-NY Chapter because of my interest in certified organic food (plus I've been working with a certified organic farm organizing a CSA group for over 20 years). ❤☮🌎

I am sorry that your husband had a heart attack. Plant based diet is the best. Fruits, whole grains like brown rice, lentils,beans, vegetables, nuts and seeds are the best foods. Trust me, especially if someone just had a heart attack. GOD forbid that he gets another one. I used to be 339 pounds now I weigh 196 just from eating plant based. I don't even work out I only walk. Don't let people fool you. I only watched this video because he is talking about healthy foods to buy organic or nonorganic. White rice is not too bad compared to food derived from animals. My sleep apnea went away, my acid reflux went away, and I feel better because I look better. If you want try to convince your husband to eat all the foods i mentioned for 2 week. And I guarantee he will feel better. Watch the documentary called Game Changers. Arnold Schwarzenegger produced that documentary about the plant based lifestyle. Even Arnold is now almost 100% plant based. And everyone knows he is a legendary body builder. The only thing that he hasn't given up is raw eggs in a smoothie. But who knows maybe he gave that now too. Because he said that a few years ago. You can find that video on KZbin. Do the research, you don't have to believe me. Just search for that video. And watch the documentary so you can see for yourself. Hope this helps. Have a blessed day.

Organic produce is a great option for those that can afford it. But how does the organic produce consumer know for certain that they are getting what they pay for? They don’t! Farmers Markets are great for potentially getting to know the origins of the produce and maybe even knowing a farmer or two. As a farmer in Califorina, I suggest to anyone that is frightened of their food supply, to grow their own food. It will make them feel better about their food, and they will find out what it takes to have a consistent, convenient and reliable food supply in grocery stores near where they live. Warning: growing your own produce might be the most expensive food you will eat. 😉

If you buy Mexican organic produce you can avoid those terrible pesticides. I used to live in Minnesota where the produce is SO expensive. I now live in Texas where it is plentiful and much cheaper. It is possible to get Canadian hydroponic tomatoes all year long, but they can't grow much else in the dead of winter.

@@karelriley2406 At first I thought it was safe if it was organic but it's not thoroughly inspected upon arrival based on what I've heard. It's really difficult to know what to trust. At least winter has finally ended. Hopefully local produce will be more abundant now. Yeah, it's very expensive....even when it's from Mexico.

We have such a lack of rules pertaining to pesticide use in America I'm surprised to learn some have been banned here.

[@DukeGMOLOL]

We have stringent rules on pesticides and residue levels. Our good is safe. Regards.

Hello, what jelly would you recommend? Thank you👍

[@karelriley2406]

It's the sugar in jams and jellies that is so harmful to us. I try to look for ones with the fewest grams of added sugar.

[@patriciaholloway]

Definitely avoid the sugar free stuff! I've never encountered a 'better for you " jelly so that's a tough one. Probably the most to hope for is one with less added sugar. But this is one of those items I avoid because it's a want not a need and mostly they're like eating candy.

[@TeresaArms-j7b]

If possible buy local fruits and veggies. Also eggs and milk. (I can't drink the milk but my daughter does).

Does washing produce vigorously in water/vinegar solution remove most of the pesticide?

[@karelriley2406]

As I understand it, washing can remove some residue that sits on the exterior of the produce. However, while the plant is growing, it is taking in those pesticides into the interior, so simply washing the exterior won't get rid of all of it. But certainly it could help. It would depend on the produce of course. Some couldn't be scrubbed of course.

It is ok not to buy organic strawberries when you wash in apple cider?

It's always ok not to buy anything organic. Organic is not safer, pesticide free, healthier or more nutritious. All of our food is safe.

How will we know about mRNA in food?

[@dirtydozen5079]

They are attempting this as we speak. If we don't fight this now we are in trouble. Along with the vax in our food they want to stop labeling our food as to what is in it, or what it is such as gmos. I noticed recently walmart carries potatoes without a produce code and no other indication if they are gmo or not. These bills have to be rejected. We need everyone to use their voice, stand up and say no.....scream no!

[@karelriley2406]

Good question. Given the way things are going in this country, with the chemical companies always lobbying for weakened safety rules, we are going to have to be very vigilant. I think mRNA is going to be used more and more for drugs, so that is where we will want to be wary. But it is conceivable that technology could be applied to seeds. They will do it if it's profitable, and to hell with our health.

Please consult your pediatrician before giving a young child a daily prebiotic. Most pediatricians and medical professionals DO NOT recommend daily prebiotic for a child whose gut microbiom is developing and should not rely on a pill so young. Please talk to your pediatrician first!!!
