Nutrition by Natalie
What is the difference between organic food and conventional food? Is organic really more healthy for you?
The USDA lays out certain guidelines that farms have to follow in order to be able to claim the food is organic. In this video Natalie discusses what each of those guidelines are.
What is surprising to learn is some of the growing practices of conventional farming and food processing. As an example, chemical plants and waste water treatment facilities will actually sell their toxic waist to conventional farms to use for fertilizer.
What you eat is an important part of health and nutrition.

I know she did not say it directly but, she did lead-on that food exposed to radiation is bad for us because it exposes us to the radiation. In reality, no matter how much of a radiation dose something receives, 1 rem or 10^50 rem, it does not give any dose at all to someone after the fact. The fact about decreasing nutrition may be true, but not the second part that she leads-on.
Her argument may be true or untrue, but she is supporting it with very loose and at one point seemingly incorrect information. All her argument were about how these things can hurt u, but that is really only a poor reason. A good reason to not want fertilizers on your food is because the environmental effects the production and transportation of these fertilizers have on the environment, and in the long term, as ppl are starting to realize, on us.

This girl is so healthy wholesome looking. My type of lady.
I mostly eat whole foods but I just don't have the budget for organic foods :(
You make me sad, Natalie, being a dirt poor college student. But thanks for the info! Much appreciated.

What would happen within the animal kingdom if all humans became vegetarians or vegans? Certain animals such as cows would end up being butchered before being eaten by predators, and certain animals would multiply to an extent that we would be forced to hunt and shoot them in order tp protect ouselves and our livelyhoods as well as to prevent destruction of certain areas in the biosphere.
