Is Organic Really Better?

I mean, there's actually something called the Chickamite pathway, which is the nutrient uptake system that is built into every plant. And the way Roundup is designed, Roundup is the chemical you just alluded to. It's ubiquitous in our food system. It literally stunts that Chickamite pathway. So it literally inhibits the plant's ability to uptake nutrients. Now, how backward is that thinking that we would apply a chemical that literally inhibits the plant's ability to uptake nutrients?

And you know why it's so important is even, even though, even if you're eating vegetables and you're trying to eat a plant rich diet, if you're eating traditional food, you're actually getting far less nutrients than you did 50 years ago. We have far less levels of magnesium, zinc, all these, all the incredible, important nutrients that we need to function as human beings. We are depleted. And that's why we see massive nutritional deficiency. Yes, it's the junk food and the ultra processed food, but it's also the, the depletion of our soils where your your broccoli and your vegetables have 50% less minerals and nutrients than they did 50 years ago. And what you're saying is organic and regenerative organic actually help to correct that and help to rebuild the soils, which then helps the plants grow healthy, which then creates healthy humans. So this whole healthy soil, healthy plants, healthy humans is such an important simple idea. But it's amazing how it's ignored. And our current agricultural system produces commodity crops that aren't nutrient dense. They're bred for starch, they're bred for yield, they're bred for being able to be used in industrial food products. They're not made to create healthy humans. And that is such an aha for me when you think, gee, if we can have one guiding principle in our entire federal policy and state and agricultural policies, it should be that quality is king.
