It's $$cheaper$$ to get CANCER

OK, when talking about money, yes, it's probably cheaper to get cancer.  Diseases like cancer take more out of a family than what the withdraw slip says.  I know because my grandmother died of lung cancer a few years ago.  But get this - it is cheaper to file an insurance claim and go to cancer treatments than to spend a extra money every week on healthy, nutritious, organic food for your whole life.  I know what you're thinking, "Oh no, here's another guy talking about organics..."  But just hear me out.  I've struggled over the past couple years and have thought there's no difference.  Well, the difference will be more on the inside than something you'll notice immediately.  You're body is a fine-tuned machine that requires premium fuel!!  But as John from Newark Natural Foods says about processed and non-organics, "It doesn't kill you instantly."

In the next few sentences I'll talk about why you should at least make 50% of your food organic and local!  "Advances" in agriculture have helped create altered foods like tomatoes that resist bugs!!  This means, the bugs don't want to eat it because of some type of chemical the tomatoes produce, pretty cool huh?  Well on the screen, it seems great, but the problem is that the change in the tomato changes how we use it for fuel.  The pesticides that the tomato creates (not the one we spray on it) interferes with our cell structure.  It really effects the part of our cells called the mitochondria.   The Mitochondria is what powers the cell and gives us energy on a cellular level.

It's the same thing when it comes to refined foods.  Have you ever read the back of your loaf of bread?  It says ENRICHED flour.  That means that when they process the flour from the grains it comes from, it looses all it's nutrients (or while growing it, the farmers produce really terrible crops).  So the companies have to get raw vitamins and add it back into it so we can use bread on our sandwich for energy.  Basically,  the more steps it takes to get to the shelf, the less nutrition you get.

That being said, organic food will give you higher nutrients when gives you a stronger brain, heart, and whole body!  Don't notice a difference?  You do, you just don't associate it to the food you're eating.  Kids with ADHD, you're short temper, you're gaining weight even though you eat a salad every day, you are extra sore after you work out, extra acne, or a disease with a name you can't pronounce.  There are a ton of signs that show that the food you eat result in weakness elsewhere... you just don't associate it.

Be careful to not fall into the schemes that videos LIKE THIS want you to believe.  As more processing continues, our food goes from raw materials with dirt on it to plastic tomatoes!
