I can only guess that my choice of my choice of my shirt to wear in this episode is causing many people to instantly thumbs down this video. It is a good fitting shirt, and I agree with the statement "Black Lives Matter". I am saddened by all the news of all the horrific situations caused by police in the USA as of late. I stand with the BLM movement against intolerance and hate, and hope other people would also agree with standing against intolerance and hate as well. I feel im getting alot of intolerance and hate for my choice of the shirt I am wearing. #WhatistheWorldBecoming

So amusing that people are taking personally the t-shirt, crazy times. I support you John! Keep on!

[yumbeet]

Thank you for answering my question John at 13:34 ☺️ I agree that the cards would be stacked against us in AZ and might be a much better option to plan for FL 🥭🙏

[hirawnick]

Thank you for supporting black lives matter! Really proud of you! This is why you’re my favorite vegan YouTuber. Compassion!

[sparktabulus]

In basic training in the army, they don't give you much time to eat. So when there were apples, I grabbed two and eat those suckers down to the stem. Didn't hurt me in the slightest to eat the seeds.

Just want to say that while I personally don't agree with you on politics, I totally agree with your views on health and I hope that people do not tune out because they disagree on one particular thing. For the people saying they will unsubscribe and all of that, I think it is a disservice to themselves that they cut out knowledge that could potentially be beneficial to their health had they not chosen to tune out.

Thanks for all that you do to try and help the world. Nobody is perfect. Life is a journey and you never stop learning until the end.

John, I just wanted to say that I appreciate and want to thank you for taking the time to answer my question. You answered it great, truthfully and passionately. However, I have to say that I was taken aback quite a bit when I saw the shirt. It is something that seems like a noble cause at first but when you look into it further it turns out to be something very negative and damaging to society, families and even black people. I stand against the BLM organization because it actually hurts blacks rather than helps them and so many other problems. I would ask that you research things more thoroughly in the future no matter how good it seems at first glance because you may just be contributing to something very negative and damaging to the world without realizing.

I love what you do and your long videos. You are a wealth of knowledge. I would love for you to go ahead and get your 10 acres of land in the tropical paradise of your dreams. I know you want a wife first, but I don't want you to have to wait too long for your land. Never stop making videos. We need more people like you in this world. Thank you.

Hello John, I support your decision to wear that shirt. You understand that Black Lives Matter means that black lives matter "too" and not "only". Yes every life is important...even the white man that is unjustly gunned down by police. Its not a symbol or racism or hate. Yes there are ppl who are hateful, riot & loot, but those are not the majority...mostly young hoodlums who don't represent the cause..they just want to get something for free. So easy ppl forget history when many ppl of different ethnic groups protested for a cause, but not always in the most civilized manner...oh do they forget 🤔😒

Their us a person growing tropical fruit like jackfruit, mamey, mangosteen, papaya and many other fruit that is difficult.

5:00 Alkaline foods help to heal and clean the body. Hybrid fruit/veggies aren't alkaline.
4:52 Alkaline water should not be man-made (using machines). Water alkalized naturally is best for the body.

lol, he changed the thumbnail and turned off showing the amount of likes and dislikes. Next is deleting the comments. Can't handle the truth I guess.
