The Dirty Dozen Foods - Is It Real??

[@paulapayne1145]

Don’t rely on the government for the truth about your food, medicine or anything else. Great video.

[@exvaxmama]

Good advice lol usually when the gov says something is "safe and effective" its far from it. But let em slap a danger label on something and that would be totally safe and effective. We're living in an upside Down backwards clown world lol

[@jhutto3814]

Ain't that the truth.

[@emilyk1160]

I totally agree with mama Hoss that people are sicker due to all the contaminants now in our food system…

[@hannahrosefl]

Thank you for this video! I dont think I've ever been so giddy when you straight up called the government out! Keep up the good work!!

[@1-Fitgirl]

Thank you for all you do! The only way we can guarantee what is in our food is to grow it and Cook it ourselves! My strawberries and blueberry bushes are going crazy. Hope to make preserves if my grands doesn’t eat them all first! ❤

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Sounds great!

[@StephanieFung]

I love having Momma Hoss on this show ❤

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thanks so much, Stephanie

[@jeannamaynard5037]

You make an awesome point, Greg, and thank you for going down that rabbit hole.

[@gregblanton9386]

Most people i knew had big brown glass bottles of chlordane sitting around in their home shops and sheds when i was young. They treated their homes for termites and many other pests back then as well as pests on fruit trees. I can remember the smell of it as it lingered for days after they sprayed, but there was very few if any mosquitoes and flies throughout the summer, it was a very good product in that respect. Enjoyed the show Mr & Mrs Hoss!

[@tambrasmith9707]

Yep

[@bettyp.8177]

One of the many reasons why I love growing a lot of our fruit and veggies...shopping in my backyard. Thanks for the info. The old goat is behind the rabbit on the top shelf of the shelving unit behind Greg.

[@suezyahwheat6678]

Agree with Greg, take responsibility,research and grow your own food as well as washing food from outside sources.

[@amystarnes1779]

Thanks for going down the rabbit hole for us. Lord knows I get stuck in it often 😬 I agree 100% that so many illnesses are directly caused by our food supply. The old goat is tucked in the bunny ears. 🐇

[@ronevans852]

Wonderful video really in joy the information Greg.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@karenzorn773]

Great show as usual, old goat behind Greg and behind Bunny on 3Re shelf.

[@Lolo-lq8iz]

Awesome job on digging into the details and presenting it!

[@sheraldtaylor1297]

I am with you Greg and I might be wrong too, but I planted my corn, set out my plugs (peppers, tomatoes, melons, cukes, squash and basil) to harden off and plan to get those planted soon. Still have to prepare the bed for my watermelon. The strawberries plugs I got from HT are looking awesome! So glad to finally find a place to get them. Thank you! I did go down the rabbit hole, and it gets just as bad as what is allowed in packaged foods sold in grocery stores and even our fast food. There are much stricter regulations in other countries.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thanks for joining us Sherald

[@chemteachingfarmer]

Old Goat getting better, but finally found him...sitting behind the bunny on the third shelf behind Greg! So ready to get started in the garden. It's finally warming up!

[@jodierutherford4034]

Love yall's show! My husband and I look forward to it every week! The old goat is on the 2nd shelf behind Mr Greg, between the bunny's ears. The bunny is so cute!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thanks Jodie

[@monicageter7004]

I stopped buying local strawberries & peaches after I saw them suited up in white haz mat suits with respirators to spray, I also got sick after picking my last strawberries about 2 or 3 years ago. I now grow your Chandler variety, and they make babies which I replant for continual harvests! That ole goat is on the top shelf above Greg's head in between the bunny ears. Loves the show content.

[@saltwaterinmyveins]

I saw the same thing near Vidalia!

[@welchfarmnc]

Very interesting show I like it . Thanks for your fast service. The tomato’s showed up look great

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Our pleasure!

[@MrRutabager]

Pretty scary info. More folks need to get in to growing their own food. I believe a lot of these chemicals are to blame for so much cancer. Thanks for the info and a very informative show. You mentioned going down the rabbit hole...well the Old Goat is between the big rabbit's ears on the 3rd shelf over Greg's shoulder. Yall have a Blessed evening.

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

Great information, thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dianaoquinn3417]

I’m still laughing about the neet feet oil! The old goat is between the rabbit’s ears on the shelf behind Greg.

[@Fodiehillfarm]

Greg is right! Grow you own food and do you own research. Old goat is in the bunny ears behind Greg on the third shelf. Great show tonight

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Yes! Thank you!

[@jamesstandley4584]

Outstanding work on your part! Great conclusion and I agree with your assessment 100%

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thank you kindly!

[@diannaleefolkers-sarber2393]

I do not usually spray my fruits and vegetables if I have to something I use organic products.

[@dorothycox5092]

Enjoyed the show! The old goat is behind the ears of the big white wooden bunny that's behind Greg's shoulder. We really enjoy watching your shows!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thanks Dorothy

[@barbraweikel3547]

Your analysis of the dirty dozen is probably correct. If you dig into the sample data, you will find data as old as 2002 for items on both lists. Was this data cherry picked to fit desired outcome? Personally I place the article in the "this fits EWG's agenda" category and therefore it's worthless to me. I've been gardening for many years, but you still come up with fresh tips and techniques I need to try. Thank you.

[@debbiecole7005]

I agree. Great video. Local farmers are best source if you’re not growing your own

[@jeannamaynard5037]

Our food supply is so tainted that other countries refuse our food! It's something we should all be concerned enough about to make some noise. Buy organic, buy local, know where your food comes from and what is in it.

[@fireflydreams1791]

Great show. The old goat is hiding behind the bunny over Greg's shoulder.

[@adamreed1750]

I have that hat. Thanks for that by the way. My wife saw it and said “ooh, i got a new hat”.

[@jewellbritnell7669]

Great comment Paula. I’d never would have believed that our government would be so corrupt. They definitely do not have our best interest in mind. The old goat is behind the bunny. Y’all have a blessed day. Let’s mess with the government & PLANT GROW & EAT your own food! (Or from local farm)

[@Fi0434]

Great info love this!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Glad it was helpful!

[@melvinreeves3674]

Glad you done a show on this problem

[@jackgraham3393]

In regards to the netting for strawberries, I have hoops over the two rows (60 ft long rows). The netting stretched over the hoops. There is about four foot of headroom, I crawl down between the rows to pick. Not necessarily real handy, but have not lost any berries to the birds. If I were to do this again the hoops would be longer, giving more headroom. My strawberries are on drip line for irrigation. Found a KZbin site, called “Genius Tomato “, talks about food coming from China. That will really open your eyes. Time to double the garden size! Keep up the good information on your shows. A lot of the information is more for you southern folks, but much information is good for us in the NW.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thanks Jack

[@paulcase7332]

Great show Mr and Mrs Hoss. The goat is behind the rabbit bait behind Greg

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thanks, Paul!

[@AmandaRedmond919]

Oh no!! You opened a can of worms there Hoss. I do appreciate that you put light on the fact that scare tactics are used to encourage people to think in a certain way.

[@petlover071]

Maybe that is why some people think cilantro tastes like soap.

[@backyardcardinals]

Seems like winter is over in Houston. Out of all we have planted for spring, the peppers and tomatoes have not come up. I'm really unhappy about that. Anyway, the Old Goat is between the white bunny's ears behind Greg. Thanks for all the info you guys give us.

[@pamelaroden5513]

Maybe that's why cilantro tasts like soap. I can tell you almost immediately whether something has a preservatives in it or a pesticide because it causes a asthma attack. For example... I can not drink any coffee from that most popular coffee shop because they use pesticides on growing coffee crops for their shop, also I can't drink certain wines because of the preservative they sometimes use. It causes severe asthma problems and not worth drinking any of it.

[@Frankie_902]

APRIL 12 IS MY BIRTHDAY!! Happy Birthday to your daughter!!

[@tamieschimpf9214]

This is a very interesting subject. Thanks for talking about it. The old goat is one the left side behind the bunny’s ears

[@gardeningwithhoss]

You are right!

[@jesseellis946]

Good information and that old goat is trying to hide behind the bunny on Greg's side.

[@shawearthcreations7675]

Potatoes are in the ground here in Kansas, and the old goat is behind the rabbit above Greg!

[@beckypeterson7522]

The Ol' Goat is behind Greg in-between the Bunnys ears! Good review of pesticides and it's impact on food!

[@ritahunter3177]

Looks like Old Goat is tucked between the bunny's ears behind Greg.

[@juliemulie1805]

Thanks for the information! Mama Hoss, the painted strawberries sound like such a cute idea. Unfortunately, the deer eat my strawberry plants and leave the fruit on the ground. The netting would have to be electrified to work. Yes, there's already deer in the freezer. I'm making another attempt at deer/raccoon/possum/armadillo/turkey proofing this year that will make my garden look like a penitentiary.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Sorry to hear that

[@anitabaldwin2176]

Hi To all from Stan and Anita Baldwin Huntsville Al. I saw the Old Goat has his head peaking out between the Bunny's ears on the 3rd shelf behind Greg. Thanks for all your information.

[@LucindaBoykin]

I am such a fan of deep dives into gardening topics, and this week's video was a timely and useful one. I have young basil plants under grow lights, just waiting for their turn to go outside for the warm season, and while I'm honestly not worried about the store-bought dried basil in my pantry, I am very much looking forward to having plenty of fresh basil to use and plenty more to share and preserve. Old Goat is either hiding behind the bunny or trying to whisper in its ears. Perhaps there are secrets to share, or maybe he's just getting fashion advice from the dapper bunny with a polka-dot bowtie. What secrets does Old Goat know, and will the bunny reveal them? Only time will tell.

[@janetjones7880]

always learn so much watching you two. Old goat in bunnies ears behind Greg.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Glad to hear it, Janet! Thank you!

[@cindyw53]

I still have sweet potato slips in my kitchen window from last year! LoL! Lots of big ones in the basement. Hubby doesn't eat them, but I love them. I see old goat behind Greg hiding behind the bunny's ears 😁

[@lisaedgington3919]

Thank you again to our govt!! 🤬

[@brownthumbnursery]

The research that you do is very important! In fact, I mentioned it on our last last live show that Hoss Tools is a good place to go, because Greg does a lot of research on the seeds and all of his products. Keep up the great work!!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thanks

[@maryvt3075]

Old goat is playing in the bunny ears behind Mr. Hoss

[@parsonroy]

This show's subject was really important. I was raised by well educated parents who tought us to live according to the best information available. Thank you for providing good information for those of us who watch. I found the old Goat hiding behind the rabbit's ears over Papa Hoss' shoulder, trying to get all the good information on how to live safely. 😊

[@susanstewart7663]

😂😂 These are the same people that say we can stop using petroleum!!!!!!

[@MynewTennesseeHome]

I'm sceptical on everything too. I do my own research. I think the Old Goat is peeking out between the rabbits ears

[@Keith_Alamond]

My garden got hit with herbicide drift back in the fall. From an airplane 1/2 mile away. County agent confirmed this. Just imagine what is "drifting" on to our skin. And not to mention what we are breathing in.

Spotted old goat in between the rabbit ears! Hubby and I love your show! Just got a box in today from you all. 😊

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Awesome! Thank you!

The old goat is behind Greg, on the shelf behind the rabbit. The most dangerous and scariest sentence ever is: HI, I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

Thanks for joining us tonight.

And to be honest I feel they "big brother" is just up to their old tricks as per usual. Grow your own food is all we have to do.

The old goat is behind the bunny! Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated.

Our pleasure!

[@dear_prudence]

Beware - there's an old goat hiding in between the bunny ears!

[@jeremyprovence4942]

Often times pesticides are used for convenience, when there are other ways and will grow clean, healthy food. Cheap food is not necessarily good food. Government regulations are determined ( mosty) by the lobbyists that contribute ( bribe) with the most money. It's best to know your farmer.

[@Bama_J]

Evening y’all. I saw this a couple of weeks ago too. Another Yt channel did a video on this. Glad I grow most all of that too!😊

[@davelively1901]

This all boils down to chemical agriculture with mega firms like Monsanto who line the pockets of politicans and fund PAC"S [political action committees] with their billions of dollars. We try to grow as much food as we can to avoid digesting the herb/pesticides.

[@teresaballard2137]

Between the bunny ears is where the funny ol' goat is making his scene this week 🐐

[@lindanewton2450]

I've been gardening for awhile like you I feel it time to get going. I'm in zone 9 here in panama city. I started my garden early I measured the soil temperature and waited till it reach 68 degree before I started putting my tomatoes in containers which I started in Jan. I Felt it was warm enough to put corn in the ground? But it wouldn't come up? I waited 14 day s. Nothing, I had a few. So my neighbor and I talk to each other on a day-to-day basis. And he's a gardener. We talk about moon phase the zodiac and all that. Well I've waited to plant my corn again after the spring equinox to plant. So I'm waiting to see if this makes a difference. I can tell you the weeds are coming up! So the science with soil temperature warm days, etc doesn't always work? So my thoughts are when the best time to start an early garden.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

We go by the soil temps to plant.

[@papawsplace]

Mr. HOSS when you put CNN and Government in the same sentence you have your problem rite there. 😂😂

[@marshashelley8668]

The old goat is on the top shelf looking out between the rabbits ears! Good show tonite!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

You got that right!

[@rickthelian2215]

I think it’s best to grow your own food where ever possible. The Old Goat is behind the Bunny Rabbit behindGreg right shoulder.😊

[@tommathews3964]

Agree completely with the problems with such a miniscule percentage of produce being tested. Incomplete, inconclusive, for sure. I'd be curious to know how they selected the small sample size from Florida and California, etc. Who gets tested?? Random? Draw names out of the hat? Testing by volume? (largest producers, etc). I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the problem was bigger than that report indicates.

[@esmysyield2023]

Mr Greg. I wouldnt be so quick to call an end to the cold. In the late 90s we had snow on april 1st and I live at the very bottom of Louisiana. Plus you crossed both fingers. Lol.

[@fieldsandcreeks9973]

Very unnerving to know that they test such a small amount of our food.great show the goat is in between the bunny ears

[@rhondakeener182]

Yessss! Turn off the news and grow a garden! ❤

[@vanessabledsoe8596]

The old goat is on the shelf behind Greg between the bunny's ears.

[@davidward1259]

I'm itching to get stuff in the ground already, but we still show one night next week where it may be in the mid 30'ish. I need to wait as I just have enough starts for our garden beds with little extra this year (saving seeds "just in case"). As to pesticides (and other stuff), that is one of the huge plus points for a home garden. You know exactly what was put on the plants and fruits. I do use sprays, but stick to OMRI certified products and apply as directed only when needed (spinosad, etc...). A few years back they traced the Western USA lettuce ecoli outbreaks to field hands relieving themselves in the fields which made it into the irrigation trenches for the lettuce. That alone is an argument to grow your own lettuce (not to mention the current prices) as that is super easy to grow in beds, tubs, containers, or even Kratky hydroponic tubs (no electricity needed). Of the stuff on the dirty dozen list we grow our own spinich, greens, peppers, beans, and of course blueberries. As for our buddy the Old Goat, he is talking to his friend the Easter Bunny on the shelf behind and above Greg (behind the white bunny). But like I said, with the weather warming I'm itching to "Get Dirty"!!!!!!.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thanks David

The goat is peeping between the bunnies ears over Gregs shoulder

[@pamcakes2003]

Behind the bunny on Gregs side. I take any report from the government with a bucket of salt- not just a grain 🤭

[@lindaedwards9756]

The old goat is behind the bunny on the shelf . I agree with you Gregg on your analysis. I don’t believe surveys because you can make them say anything you want them to. Too many variables. Demographics, who is paying for the research, sample sizes, etc.

[@lanahayes5727]

Mr Hoss, cabbage grows from the inside out so when you spray it, it's not on the inside.

[@Schmitt_Farms]

The old goat is behind the white bunny on left side;)

Wow right off the bat the old goat is behind Greg and behind the big white bunny.
