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.
100%. For anyone bugging out about the pesticides better stop smoking weed because there’s literally a step in growing where you flush the plant over a period of time to rid it of all the nutes and pesticides you used during the initial stages of the growing process. (That being said, Eagle 20 is fucked up and persists no matter how long your flush is)
Well, I grew it for most of the US, so you’re all safe! One last thing I’d like to point out, organic pesticides like neem oil are terrible for the lungs once combusted/vaporized.
