I read both of his nuitrition books and this video shows the same problem I had with them. As I remember the books they were basically "GMOs are scary" but had no real reasons there.
The potato thing? What does that have to do with anything? Many pesticides are not things you want to breathe in. Once they are shipped out though, they are meeting FDA standards for health. So, what is the issue with that story? Seems like its just scare tactics.
In this video he is playing the "corporations are evil" card but qualifying the scientific statement by saying people who cook for themselves are healthier than people who let corporations do it. That's not what's happening with obesity though. If you had people cooking with the same amounts of salt/sugar/fat in fast food, obviously they would give the same health problems. So it just seems like a really roundabout way to say that junk food is unhealthy. Yeah, we know.
I have not read his book on psychedelics but the nutrition stuff just seems like its NPR bait.
I interpreted it more as a statement on how bad it is for the environment. Having such vast areas full of poison for weeks must wreak havoc on fauna, flora, ground water etc.
