You have got to watch this 2 minute video with your children which shows a child’s experiment with 3 very different sweet potatoes.
One sweet potato was conventionally grown.
One sweet potato was organic from the supermarket.
One sweet potato was organic from a local market.
If your child is hearing from friends at school that “organic doesn’t matter” or some foolish talk of this nature, this video will quickly show that organic but also LOCAL is the way to go when it comes to produce!
Our children are getting it! I am so encouraged when I see bright, inquisitive children like this showing the whole world how the simple choice of what you put in your mouth can quite literally determine the course of your entire life.

I shared on my wall! LOVE your blog!
I say “DUH”!!! Thanks so much! Great report!
From a pesticide information site: Signs of Chlorpropham Exposure:
– Skin, eye and respiratory irritations/mild irritant.
– Reported toxic manifestations have included CNS depression, seizures, extrapyramidal effects, neuropathy, and gastrointestinal effects of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Incredible! I shared this. I just wanted you to know how much I love your site and appreciate the information you bring to your readers.
Love hearing the truth and all the more so when it comes from such a sweet smiling child!
great video!
Excellent!
I’ve seen this before and it’s pretty amazing that our kids are getting this and we aren’t…. At 3 years old my daughter is already convinced that corn is evil because the vast majority of the crops are genetically modified. Unless you are growing it yourself, it’s hard to be sure of what you’re getting…. That can be a full time job in and of itself.
@Lisa Yes, that child is absolutely precious. The smile at the end was priceless. She knew she had done a good job!
And to think, sweet potatoes are part of the Clean 15!
Oh wow. Didn’t make that connection Dan. Excellent point.
