“Knowing the land that your food is being grown on, having a relationship with your farmer, if at all possible, and knowing how they’re doing it is the most valuable thing that you can do if you are searching for nutrient dense, free of toxic chemicals, food for your body.” [5:45]
“There were and are a lot of farmers who just transitioned the products they were using so they could be called organic without changing their farming practices.” [6:45]
“You can have all sorts of nutrients in the soil but if you don’t have a healthy microbial population the plants aren;t going to be able to access those nutrients as easily.” [7:53]
“Although there are so many people who can’t access the freshest food, still if that food was harvested at the right time it would still have more nutrients in it then if it’s harvested prematurely and allowed to ripen on the shelf.” [9:35]
