I spoke to someone in the Olive Oil industry and he told me that the only difference between organic and non organic olive oil is the distance a tree is from the roadway.

I always look forward to watching your videos. Thank you 🙏

I watched this interview JUST a day or so ago. Action packed with chef AJ .

Wouldn't this be the case for more rhan just kale then? Aren't all vegetables grown in fields next to roads?

[haritanone]

What's the ideal way to wash the kale? Just with tap water ynder running water for 1min or do you need to use baking soda as well?

It's not just about fumes from the highways, Kale is one of the dirtiest veg out there when it comes to pesticides, something that is rarely talked about, (Veg farm worker).

Wow great video!! Thanks so much for sharing.

In fact, truly organic vegetables are never grown near roads or polluted waterways

[laurieparis]

Thx for the warning, PBL! 😔 I wonder how this effects cabbages, as they are so tightly wound up?

[sooooooooDark]

planned to collect wild burdock leaves in a couple of days
will keep that in mind and clean them good 😁

[traumatizedwick]

What about the heavy metals found in Kale?

[Ranjanapati]

Do you guys know how much of PAH we inhale through respiration.

[JokerLurver]

Kale is my drug of choice. Whenever I eat it I feel delightful.

[limitisillusion]

Anyone buy Earthbound Farms Organic? It's my favorite brand just because it's dried well... Never any slimy old stuff. I usually buy the 50/50 spinach mix. It says it's triple washed, so I never wash it. Do you wash it?

[yoniash]

There were videos that Dr Greger glorifying Kale; it is hard to know what to do right. What about steaming organic Kale before using it in a green smoothie?

[sectionalsofa]

Do you think we need to re-wash triple-washed chopped organic kale (as well as arugula and lettuce) form Trader Joes? I'm hoping washed means washed.

[untio]

So meat or polluted vegetables, what is less harmful?

[davidlawson]

Don't forget about the diesel powered tractors that are used to plant, cultivate and harvest most of the field grown crops we eat!
