And the USDA spent more than a decade trying to cross the resistant purple carrot to the orange ones that we know and love, because the purple carrots have a resistance to the type of soil, the nematode, that attacks the plant roots. But the orange carrots don't have that resistance to these pests

This is why I say, even if someone is a vegetarian, they're still getting such, you know, the food that we're growing has been such depleted with nutrients. One thing I know about farming is that you're supposed to rotate crops and there's even, like instances in the Bible where there's a year of fasting where, like, no crops are planted, the ground supposed to replenish itself. But farmers don't do that because it's money, money, money

I just can't. We didn't messed a whole bunch of stuff up. And if I can do a little bit to make my family a little bit healthier, including myself, I'm gonna try to do that. But thank you so much for commenting. I really appreciate

See who's going to benefit from it. And that's your answer. Because trust me, we live in a very capitalistic society. No one is doing anything for free. So if they're changing their color or something, or they're getting rid of dandelions, it's going to be because somebody's going to get rich. And yes, I learned about dandelions again when I was a vegan, because dandelion root tea has tons of benefits. But it's also

Wow. I did not know this. And now I want purple and orange carrots together because it's almost like purple and gold a little bit. Kind of like that idea just for the color effect. That's very interesting. You have really been putting out some really interesting swell casts lately. You're really doing your research. It's funny because I'm having my students do research papers, so I feel like you're on the same vein lately. So interesting. Swell. Thanks for this

Hey, homosanity. Thank you so much. And you know what the thing of it is, I really love doing research papers. I know people are like, are you. Are you kidding me? I love researching stuff and then finding what to write about it. My only problem was punctuation and grammar. Other than that, I did, you know, a really good job at research papers

Well, I did not know that the carrots were originally not orange. Thanks for sharing that. Now I know

No problem, my friend. No problem. I didn't know either until I researched it. Thank you
