Isn't it interesting how liberals/progressives make so much noise about climate change as a very general notion, that is far from being scientifically proved, but they go mostly silent about the more tangible water, air and food pollution that is on the rise and most of the time undetected or systematically checked? My wife use to remind me often that most of the organic foods we buy is not really organic and I try to reassure her that someone on the food control chain should do what is necessary to avoid fraud. I am sorry to recognize that I am a bit idealistic but on the same token encouraged that things could change with honest operators like Mike Adams. Let us hope that what Mike is doing and sharing with consumers will be spread around at the necessary level of government and reassure us that when we pay big bucks for organic is really organic.

I am an agriculture engineer and I haven't work for an Ag company that doesn't use pesticides. Hydroponic systems use pesticides, cannabis and specially flower growers use heavy pesticides.
I never saw any jobs as an organic inspector and when I contacted the USDA did not get an answer. USDA has no power over growers. Growers do anything they want behind closed doors and if I raise a flag as a professional they will fire me.
For example, Village Farms the largest tomato producer not only uses pesticides in the US but uses pesticides only authorized in Canada. The pesticide manager has no formal training and is a relative of the grower which also does not have any college studies. Corporations in the US have all the power not employees or consumers.
Han nothing to do with liberals or conservatives people don't want to hear what is in their food.

Grown-ups are children in disguise when it comes to their food. All they care about is if it tastes good. If you point out to them how it was grown in the dirt or what was fed to that chicken or beef cow until it was slaughtered, or the putrid, inhumane condition of the environment in which it was raised, most of them having to endure physical and psychological torture, they will ridicule you, laugh at you, or at best they'll just say, "Well, you gotta die from something, right? Might as well taste good. Honey, can you pass me the Frankenfood Sauce?"

Thanks Leslie Ann Williams. Many don't realize , we lose protein as we age from 30 onward to old age. Muscle waste revolves. Maintain your Blood Protein of 363 elements as you get older.. as they start to disappear. If you can stabilize it .. 100 is a goal with energy... and a fit body.

Yes, climate change activism is a $2 trillion scam, exploiting the activist left with a false scientific narrative. While making a left turn, I filmed these climate change activists last week: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

I agree with you, Cornelius. My cupboard of supplements is gradually being switched out to only what's on Mike's website because of his efforts to keep his line of products as clean as possible.

They call it suicide? he was only sentence to 10 years in prison? it doesn't seem like a life time in prison and I am very suspicious of him committing suicide, was he that afraid to spend 10 years in prison? What if this farmer have connection to the elite in committing organic fraud with some of the biggest company out there? If that was the case, it is more likely they would silence this farmer and make it look like a suicide. A good example is Jeffrey Epsetin, dude died while in jail and they said it was a suicide.

Thank you for doing the testing to expose these criminals. Such a shame. I agree, that ANY supplement or product must come from a place of integrity or I will NOT ingest it.

Please sometime can you start testing organic teas, especially green tea (Uncle Lee’s Organic Green Tea is the most common brand found in grocery stores where I live) . Most grocery store brands of tea all come from China or India, and I have my doubts as to how organic or safe they really are!

One thing I'll say about the Iowa farmer is that he still had a conscience. Most of the dumbed-down left don't have a conscience, cleverly indoctrinated with Marxist values including the belief there are no absolutes, no good and evil and no afterlife. For libertarians to say the Iowa farmer had the right to kill himself is to acknowledge on a practical level these heinous Marxist beliefs...

Leslie Ann Williams • 4 years ago

So true about at least having a conscience! I was struck by the very same thing!

The greed of that farmer or desperation may be something between got hold of that farmer. It is a typical human failure we see all over the place an honest business service, I buy organic no matter of the news, Why? Because the dollar I spend on organic is the VOTE of what do I want more to be produced and hope honestly produced as organic. That is one way to help the cause and there are other ways as to keep pressure on politicians to do the right thing as well. It is up to us of what happens with it. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...https://uploads.disquscdn.c...https://uploads.disquscdn.c...https://uploads.disquscdn.c...https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

I'm from Iowa. I have no doubt that I ate some of that fraud organic food they sell at Hyvee smh. Evil farmer got what he deserved: Death By Suicide

Sky Watcher News Channel • 4 years ago

There is more foreign control of farms in Iowa than one may think. They use American-sounding names like "The California Corporation" to hide the fact they're from China, North Korea, etc. The Iowa farmer may have been under their control. Leftist liberal communist Democrat Tom Harkin allowed Iowa farmland to be sold to foreign interests, for years. Iowa's Chuck Grassley is a Mason serving the Masonic globalist vision and Sovereignty sell-out of the US. https://uploads.disquscdn.c... When bad flooding in Iowa occurs, Soros controls the leadership in the Army Corps of Engingeers so they will be ineffective in controlling it, so Soros realty front companies buys up the ruined land and resells to foreign interests for a 16% profit, profiteering while destroying national sovereignty.

Don't blame the farmers they take all the risk on the weather and fluctuating markets while the suppliers are collecting the money not matter the crop outcome.

Hero Miles • 4 years ago

My response to that is "If it is corrupt, then abort mission". Yes the farmer is at fault. When you participate in something that is knowingly corrupt, then you're part of the problem. No that farmer continued to participate in something he or she knew to be wrong, and kept their mouths shut and happily took the hush money. I blame the farmer AND all those involved. They all collectively contributed to harming the health of innocent Americans. You should not be defending them. I hope the flooding destroys all the corrupt farms.

Food is my medicine, this man not only sold us food he sold poison to us. This farmer who knowing did this is more than guilty.

If I could afford it, I would buy everything from Mike Adam's store. The problem is that you basically need to have the net worth of a globalist to be able to afford clean, healthy nutrition in this day and age. Especially if you live in a northern climate and the only way to grow your own food is in a heated greenhouse. Having a diet that is 100% conventional organic is already super expensive, I can't imagine how much it would cost an average person to go the next level up and have everything you consume tested for heavy metals, etc...

Lack of integrity leads to more regulations, laws, & higher costs, lack of trust in society. Teach integrity to next generation

IsThis4Real • 4 years ago

Not sure if that will really work as the next generation is full of "snowflakes" and a generation of those that EXPECT everything to be done for them....THEY are afraid of getting their hands dirty, or being uncomfortable and go to seek out a "safe place."

Hard to trust anyone today it's all about the money. Read a article a few days ago about this and said what a good man he was god fearing and a pillar in the community. As i said before hard to trust anyone today.

Thank you Mike for helping get the word out on the fraud in the organic world!
Just think-All the so called organic carrots sold as organic or soaked in chlorine before being disturbuted!
Carrot Juice anyone""UGH!!
Again-thank you Mike!

The most likely answer to how he got away with it for eight years....someone was being rewarded financially for looking the other way.

That's why I buy local and organic meat. I know the farmer(s). Not perfect but better than not knowing anything. I am so glad that the "Health Ranger" tests for heavy metals! I am appalled that powdered "super foods" can have high levels of heavy metals.

The worst part is that toxins cost a LOT compared to cheap mineral amendments like dolomite, ca limestone and gypsum. These minerals provide the 68% calcium, 12-20% magnesium and 60 trace minerals required for the healthy function of crops, and their resistance to insects, disease, and allows them to produce more complete proteins, and vitamins for those that eat these crops. look up William Albrecht, the father of soil minerals and soil minerals dot com for what each more common mineral does for the crop.

Mike Blackford • 4 years ago

I was raised in IA. Lived away from there 30 years. Came back to be with my dad his last years. SE IA. HyVee is the worst for organic. Couldn't beg my local store to provide more selections. Iowa in general is all in for GMO/Monsanto and their high priced seeds. GMO alfalfa seed push originated in IA with the former Sec. of Ag. Because of his efforts for Monsanto he was put in the running for US Sec of Ag. Dont know if he made it or not. How insidious is that concept?!

Most meat up to 1980's was quality FDA meat. Anything goes today. I cook at a quality restaurant we had the very best age meat. I stop eating meat in the 1990's. After buying meat at Kroger, meat so BAD, a round steak. The meat you eat could have came from anywhere in the world. BRAIN TUMORS from bad meat.
Thank, you sir. 80% of food sold is junk, stop buying that junk, grade yourself when you buy, set a stander.

Sarah Dale • 4 years ago

Yes, there will always be fraud by the unscrupulous which is why we must always do our own leg work on the foods we buy.
There are many reputable companies who are more than willing to answer questions and their doors are open to you and your questions. But we must be eternally vigilant unfortunately. In England where I live I rely on the Soil Association mark that tests and checks thousands of products.

Ttoe • 4 years ago

Okay, I'm at 4:32. What went so wrong with the organic industry that allowed this fraud to take place. I'm going to follow the consistently demonstrated rule that all scummy roads lead to the Democrats. So, I'm going to guess that the answer is something to do with the Democrats allowing it and covering it up.

I like tons of what MIke Adams does and he's way more trustworthy than most. My suggestion though is to not just trust ABC news stories as huge amounts have been proven to be hoaxes to manipulate markets, people and trick people in to many ways to list. These main stream outlets and their copy cats stories including legal cases stories are often fake. I've seen them fake court cases and verdicts as well. Don't get me wrong though this story real, or fake is just a sliver out of the massive iceberg of corruption of every type. We're talking about an epidemic of avarice dirty money, its benefits and excessive materialism theft scams nonsense.

Agent99 • 4 years ago

Do we count this one with the farmer suicide epidemic, or consider it a special case just because he was 61 and got caught? There's probably more to the story than we're aware of. He may have been "suicided" because he slipped up. I'm sure his partners hated forfeiting a mil each. Know what I mean? It's the Farmers Mafia.

Lou Montana • 4 years ago

WOW! Trumptards elected a sexual offender into office, who raped a 13 year old at Epstein's home, committed treason by exposing his love for Putin, cheats taxpayers out of billions of dollars by hiring his family members, and they are worried about one farmer committing embezzlement?
You cannot make this stuff up!

Jerry Merry • 4 years ago

LOL!!! No, Bro...The evidence shows Trump never raped any teenager & got rid of Epstein in his life once he knew what was going on with him!

Lou Montana • 4 years ago

You know nothing of truth, justice, or fact provin evidence. All you people know how to do is lie for your Putin loving fake president.

IsThis4Real • 4 years ago

Such slanderous accusations with nothing to back it up - You say you can not make this stuff up??? Until you provide cites for each one of your false and slanderous claims that is EXACTLY what you are doing - Making this stuff up!! Very childish and immature of you to say the least!!! Trolling is a very ugly character flaw!
