Question:

What are your thoughts on organic produce vs. not organic?

— Linda Salotto

Answer:

Organic versus produce that's not we're talking about certified organic, of course, and so, you know, my my quick response is that if one is in a position to excuse me to consume Sortified organic food or otherwise clean food, perhaps you grow your own food in in whatever capacity that might be. Or you otherwise get your food from a source that you trust as being clean. I think that's the way to go. It's just better for our bodies. It's better for the environment. It's better for the Farm Workers. And I want to emphasize that component of this big picture often. We Overlook the Farm Workers for various in a century reasons, which I won't get into right now because that's a long-winded and politicized topic but the cleaner the food we can consume the better. It is for everybody including Mother Earth, but you know, please, you know understand that if for whatever reason you're not able to access sortified organic produce more produce still in your diet is better than less produce and that produce can be Fresh, it can be frozen. It could be canned Eat More Produce. It's good for you. That's my message.
