Director: Linda Bendali
Genre: Documentary
Country: France
Language: English
Also Known As: Cash Investigations: Seeds of Profit

Synopsis:
Sixty years of producing standardized fruit and vegetables and creating industrial hybrids have had a dramatic impact on their nutritional content. In the past 50 years, vegetables have lost 27% of their vitamin C and nearly half of their iron.

Take the tomato. Through multiple hybridizations, scientists are constantly producing redder, smoother, firmer fruit. But in the process, it has lost a quarter of its calcium and more than half of its vitamins. The seeds that produce the fruits and vegetables we consume are now the property of a handful of multinationals, like Bayer, and Dow-Dupont, who own them. These multinationals have their seeds produced predominantly in India, where workers are paid just a handful of rupees while the company has a turnover of more than 2 billion euros. A globalized business where the seed sells for more than gold.

According to FAO, worldwide, 75% of the cultivated varieties have disappeared in the past 100 years. Loss of nutrients, privatization of life, We reveal the industrialists’ great monopoly over our fruit and veg.

One other thing to keep in mind is that aside from the loss of nutrients due to breeding is the loss of nutrients due to poor soils that these plants are grown in.

This is a nightmare. Considering we eat for nutrients… these moguls are saying that the consumer just wants shelf life and flavor. To hell with the elements we need from the point of eating in the first place! I am so over this consumeristic society.

[jennodine]

They knew they were sacrificing nutrients for yield. They always knew.

[milk.person]

honestly the tomato data does not surprise me, I used to eat them like apples and now they are just disgusting unless they’re hand picked from a family owned farm/garden

[HeavilyTarriffedPenguin]

I recently grew some tomatoes by accident. Over the past 40 years, i had forgotten what a real tomato tastes like.
I cant go back.

This is the best coverage to prove why people are getting so sick because we just lack of the micronutrients that we need to survive and fight when we are sick, in addition to the high amount of processed food in our diet. Really sad that the greed from the big corporations are killing us.

[cindyrella]

Not only are they lacking nutrition but flavor. I am finding a lot of the fruits and vegetables I used to love as a child taste horrible and I prefer to not eat them at all. I thought maybe the other countries would be better at protecting their citizens but I can see I was wrong. Greed is prevalent in all nations.

[evelyngott]

So the farmer pays them 50 cents a day so that one of the big 5 seed companies can sell 1 kilo for 400, 000 euros. DISGUSTING.

[lilyanne]

i’ve been saying this for years and a lot of people will go “oh wow” then never think about it again. it’s so depressing

[truemendas]

The documentary was made in 2019. Very good it is put out on YT. Seedless fruits and vegetables must be illegal as well.

[iiSiiS]

Next experiment: compare quality, taste, and nutritional value of different fruits and veggies from organic small farms vs big corporate farms

[mattkrumm]

When the trace essential elements are gone from the soil, food quality declines.

[adhiyamaanpon]

Now these kind of topics should be made mandatory in schools.. Hope change begins from each one of us in preserving our mother Earth .!! Fantastic video!!!

[BeckNicolas]

Crazy how much I changed after I started questioning everything about health. Reading Rethinking Health Secrets made me realize how much we’re NOT told.

[xeno]

To everyone reading this, PLEASE buy from local farmers. Not only are you buying more nutritious and better tasting veggies, you are also making sure the people producing those crops are not abused.

[ashishkumarchoubey]

Last year I myself did some analysis on the RDA for each nutrient macro and micro. And I realized that we absolutely cannot cover the RDA for every micro and macro nutrient simply by eating natural food, we are bound to look out for dietary supplements. This does mean that the food today lacks nutrients that it used to hold a few decades back

[danielchadwick]

The greed of consumerism
has destroyed the health of humanity

[kimberleydownunder]

I’m digging as we speak growing from scratch. I’m sick of poor quality produce at shops.

It also has to do with how "sanitized" the crops are. There isn't any mold/bacteria allowed in the soil itself. Plants rely on those external processes to get various nutrients.

I have said this before many times and ill say it again.
A new song or a new car is launched and it has millions of views, comments and likes yet one of the elements that assures our survival gets soo little.
At the same time i am still grateful that at least something is moving and this info is out there for everyone.
Thank you 🙏
