wouldn’t it be nice if someone could say
hey let’s grow our food in a way that
didn’t involve spraying chemicals
everywhere and everyone would be on
board with it and it would just work
yeah well welcome to reality and welcome
to watchmojo.com placated world of
agriculture and counting down the most
interesting and essential facts about
organic foods
we’re not even touching the question of
GMO it’s mostly because WatchMojo news
already went in depth on that topic
number five organic farming has its
roots in the 1920s for here at the Dow
Chemical Company in Midland Michigan
revolutionary chemical killers are being
produced to help rid us of these costly
pests many people think that organic
farming is a relatively new practice but
as long as there has been industrialized
agriculture which is nearly a hundred
years there have been farmers who
resisted it in 1939 a pesticide called
DDT was created and chemical pesticides
slowly became the norm hey farmer farmer
put away the DDT now
in this pot saw my elbows believe me the
birds in the decades that followed
organic farming methods spread from
Europe to Australia and North America
where in 2002 the US Department of
Agriculture created their first organic
certification program many now feel the
typical organic certifications don’t go
far enough and ensuring that agriculture
is done in a manner that is sustainable
and that delivers the healthiest safest
produce to consumers practices like
permaculture and Community Supported
Agriculture have been born out of these
concerns number four
nutrition wise the jury is mostly out on
organics nutritional science is
extremely complex and so a simple
question like which is better can be
answered a hundred different ways there
have been multiple studies that have
found organic foods are not higher in
various vitamins and minerals than
conventional foods in 2014 however the
largest study ever published on organic
foods concluded that they contain far
more antioxidants phenols and
polyphenols than non-organic foods these
substances might be incredibly useful
for staying healthy or they may not be
the jury is out on that to do you ever
wonder about pesticides what is hard to
argue with though is that pesticides are
harmful to human health and research
confirms that organic fruits and
vegetables have little – none of them
number three one organic sweetener is
full of arsenic food safety experts have
been ringing alarms over the amount of
inorganic arsenic found in brown rice
for some time arsenic particularly
inorganic arsenic is highly toxic to
humans and is associated with a higher
risk of many kinds of cancer historians
believe that world leaders across many
cultures have succumbed to arsenic
poisoning like King George the 3rd
Napoleon Bonaparte King Faisal the first
king of Iraq in 2012 researchers from
Dartmouth College discovered that
organic brown rice syrup a common
sweetener and many organic products had
unhealthy even dangerous levels of
inorganic arsenic the products they
tested included cereal bars energy gels
and toddler formula why is this such a
big deal for children because kids weigh
less they are exposed to more arsenic
per pound from the
they eat the toddler formulas they
tested that contained organic brown rice
syrup had 20 times more arsenic in them
than those without the sweetener
apparently organic standards don’t
always include being free of toxic
amounts of heavy metals number two
organic labels bias our perceptions hi
there thank you all for coming in my
name is Roger I’m gonna be running
today’s focus group all right thank you
researchers from Cornell University
conducted an experiment where they gave
115 volunteers two samples and potato
chips yogurt and cookies one sample of
each pair was labeled organic and the
other regular naturality both samples
were identical I’m getting strawberry
I’m getting Kiwi I’m good man I’m gonna
take Hannah Kiwi nevertheless volunteers
estimations of the food vary greatly
depending on the label they thought the
organic cookies and yogurt had fewer
calories and that the chips were more
nutritious they like the taste of the
organic yogurt and chips better though
they thought the regular cookies were
tastier because who wants healthy
cookies right most interesting to
marketers though was that the
participants also said they were willing
to pay up to 23% more for the organic
products your organic all-natural
lifestyle has doomed us all number one
organic farming is cheaper even if the
price is higher the total amount of
organic cropland in America is about 1%
of this country’s agricultural land the
total amount of consumption of organic
food is between 4 and 5 percent in 2011
the Rodale Institute released an
unprecedented report in which they
compared side-by-side plots of land
growing conventional and organic crops
over the course of 30 years they
discovered that overall the yield from
conventional and organic crops were
roughly the same but the cost of growing
organic crops was actually almost 10
percent lower on average but there are a
lot of ways in which when done right
organic sustainable farming can produce
more food granted the Rodale Institute
is a group dedicated to promoting
organic farming so they’re not impartial
and some organic farmers particularly in
the UK actually report that their costs
are significantly higher but if growing
the stuff is often cheaper
then why does it cost so much the simple
answer is supply and demand the demand
for organic food in relation to its
supply is much higher than that of
conventional food one out of every four
Americans is a devoted organic shopper
and 91% of Walmart customers say they
would be interested in buying organic
food so did any of these facts surprise
you what do you think of organic foods
there’s a Hidden Valley Ranch party in
my mouth for more chemically fertilized
top tens and might be better for you but
probably not top fives be sure to
