| 0:00.0 | Today we're going to talk about the 13 foods you should never buy organic. They're just not |
| 0:06.0 | worth it. You're going to spend between 50 and 80% more on organic foods when you really don't |
| 0:11.0 | need to. Then I'm going to get into some really key foods that you should always get organic |
| 0:17.0 | simply because they have the most concentrated pesticides. Let's just start with the definition |
| 0:23.6 | organic. What does it actually mean? It means foods that don't have synthetic chemical input. |
| 0:30.5 | When you're talking about animal foods, it means the feed that they feed the animals don't have |
| 0:34.8 | synthetic chemicals given to them. And with animals, part of the definition |
| 0:38.7 | is you can't use antibiotics. And one quick thing about chemicals, we're talking about pesticides, |

| 1:13.6 | have to be organic. So it is a little confusing. I also want to mention something called hydroponic, |
| 1:19.0 | where you're growing vegetables or salad in a soilless liquid with some minerals in it. |
| 1:26.8 | That's how they can grow certain vegetables and salads |
| 1:29.7 | through a hydroponic unit. And if I'm not mistaken, they also have the certification of organic, |
| 1:34.6 | which I don't really like because you're growing vegetables in water with some minerals in it. |
| 1:40.5 | And it's not complete. It's not like soil where you have the microbes. So when you see the |
| 1:44.7 | word hydroponic and it's grown organically, that doesn't really mean anything to me. And then the last |
