#NBCNews #Organic #Fraud
We are coming for ya.. Eagles should be a little worried… GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💙
Doesn’t look like it
Wow fake labeling in the USA. 🤔
Organic liars are certainly out there.
Sweet. Thank u
This is the reason why I only eat inorganic food.
Mmm… plastic.
same 🤣
All of us eat a credit card amount of plastic a week
@Jarid Gaming I consume mine with tomato sauce. What’s your favorite plastic sauce?
I eat both. Haven’t died yet
People are starving because they can’t grow enough food and then you have people in the first world countries deliberately producing the least amount possible and paying extra for it because it’s “organic.”
Can you do a report on what government oversight of the organic food market actually entails? Many of us would like to know whether or not we’re being ripped off.
@P G Usually not though
You are.
@C A Source?
@Musicdudeyoutub it’s the American way
Fraud like saying soy is milk ? Or almond milk?
Or changing meanings of words can be fraud right ?
NBC worried about this but not of Rachel Meadow telling people a leaky RNA vaccine stops covid and the spread of it. April 2021
my olive oil isn’t a virgin is it…..
it’s 100% virgin
Not under my watch.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can’t imagine even in the most developed country in the world food fraud exist. So where’s the USFDA and other state government agencies.
I will never understand why people buy food, such a waste of money.
the neighbors are abundant, and free! and they’re too noisy at night.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don’t panic it’s organic 🖕
thought this can only happen in China where you can buy the Organic label then charge premium
Can’t afford it anyway.
This is why I only eat rocks.
Good article
Help circulate to avoid death from Assumption uni Thailand. I am the victim of many times dead and bloody incidents. After installing recorders in school teachers office, this uni stole and uploaded our conversation with family on social media without our awareness for many years. This bad act of Assumption uni was the cause of being approached by robbers and thief burglar at my home.
Everytime a rich person gets scammed an angel gets their wings. 😅
except it is not just rich people, everyone is getting scammed on this, look up food fraud on youtube…
@Junkmytrunk 🤷🏻♀️ I just know it costs more
Finally!
Haha good for the vegetarian 👍 I always say these product are full of scrap pesticide better eat meat 🍖 than those bad product go talk to the farmer oups they are all dead 🤣 because of what the spray on their crops
Good luck with the bad guys what a joke
The word organic is a joke. Did you know organic fertilizer can be just as devastating to an ecosystem as synthetic? Organic doesn’t mean healthy or safe. #dumbingdownofamerica
As a person who has sold for 40 years my homegrown produce at local small farmers markets I can tell you people claiming to be selling you organic eggs or produce out the back of a semi with giant organic signs in markets with 1000s of people there are not .
Yeah I’m let’s talk about having an organic farm next to a commercial farm, are you telling me there’s not going to be problems associated with that? We already know that this is true because of giants like monsanto actually having the audacity to Sue farmers where they’re genetically modified crops and seeds were growing due to having been wind blown.
Fraud is as old as time…..sigh
“organic fraud rings”
my god that made me laugh.
LOL, right? Can you imagine going to prison for selling non-organic food from your farm? How embarrassing.
I saw this yesterday on the TV and I said I really got to look into this
Lol this is what I’ve always assumed. There’s nothing wrong with non organic food.
I used to feel the same way, until I learned how foods full of slight chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides, growth modifications, protein growth hormones, etc.) are actually harmful to people who have cancer, MS, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and other health complications. I spent an embarrassing number of years being wildly uninformed, because I personally don’t have any health concerns and, honestly, didn’t just care enough.
A restaurant not properly cleaning a stove top / skillet, or adding the wrong ingredient, can literally mean the difference between life and death for a a person with food allergies.
Even diet sodas as opposed to regular isn’t about “I’m fat. I’m on a diet now.” No, a person with Celiac disease being served food containing gluten, to people with stomach ulcers being given whole milk in their latte instead of the soy they’d asked for is dangerous. They can have severe migraines, or much, *MUCH,* worse.
Growing and selling ANY food product under false pretenses for profit? That’s not only immoral, but flat-out illegal AF as well. These dummies literally gamble with people’s health.
Leave this animals alone canibaless
Learn the definition of cannibal 😀🍔🥩🍗🍖🥓🥪🥚🌭🍕🌮🦞🍣🍤
I’ve said it for years, “the only way to know for sure if it’s really organic is to grow it yourself” and my counterpoint is always “not everyone has a green thumb”
I have a black thumb 😕
Funny this should come to light. I’ve been saying this for a long time. A label doesn’t make something what it’s worth, a label is a label and nothing else. Played out again, isn’t that something 😂😂 price tags don’t represent an items value ☝🏻
Genetic modification of plant is NOT a disqualification to be classified organic. Compromises have been made regarding fertiliser and some types of spray but GM is not an issue
Those cows need to be happy every single day up until they are slaughtered!
Medium rare is my jam!! 🥩
If it’s imported, it’s not organic.
So this is what Biden cares about 🤣
what do you care about, not teaching children “trans” or African American history? foh
Are you even from this country? We’re you actually able to vote🤣
it’s not just organic food, people buy all KINDS of fake food and dont even know it. Look up food fraud you will see.
Even if its real organic, its not https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03vWwqYPf60
But are they organically free glutten?
Well I’m glad if you all decide to do this now because you should have done it a little bit longer ago because I can tell over the years that this organic was going to boom and be a fraud front for a whole lot of food There’s a few other things too I’d like to share with you if you want to know that I can see the fraud and I can see all the devious deception that John would do and especially the vaping of the big vaping is major fraud industry
Yeah I know that might be what comes to people’s mines but that is not the truth organic simply means that it is naturally goo from the ground everything on this planet is pretty much organic unless it is lab-created that is the only two options we have organic or lab-created the steel fender on my car is organic
Organic has been watered down in U.S. Most “organic” berries in grocery do not qualify as organic under the original rules.
Moremore and more unexpected inspections!!
hey big Ag has been doing it for decades
Who ever came up with “organic” is a genius
CCP owned no doubt
There is nothing to surprise here. Some hustlers were importing Make American Great Again caps from china and labeling them with made-in-USA labels.
Legal but unethical; it’s all abt. the money!
Usda and fda forced to actally do their jobs
Fixed your headline for you
Thank you for cracking down on these guys.
We can have added funding on this but not the IRS. Oooook
Everyone is a liar
