It's from Thai Health Promotion Foundation raising awareness on eating seasonal veggy as off-seasoned are full with chemicals.

Imagine living where only off season veggies are filled with chemicals and hormones.

Imagine living where all the food is inspected properly and all the food sold is safe for public consumption. 

Then some dipshit that swims in septic water comes along and takes over that process and fucks everything up

What chemicals exactly? We do know that all food is "full of chemicals" right?? This is a funny video but the message sounds like complete bull shite.

Off season vegetables are usually just shipped in from other parts of the world with different growing seasons. It has a much bigger carbon footprint than local, seasonal produce and that is indeed bad for the planet. But the idea that it's somehow poisonous to eat is just wild fear mongering

I'm Thai. So if you know who working in farming here. You will know they use a lot of pesticide and chemical fertiliser and some place don't wait for it to clean out properly before harvest those vegetables and fruit.

That's the case in the US and other Western countries, but it may not be in Thailand.

Transport is an insignificant fraction of the carbon footprint of food. Source: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/food-emissions-supply-chain

Fuck off with your facts. We have alternative facts that are quickly getting stale since Ukrainian sanctions took effect.

They don't use pesticides in season? The pests just aren't evolved to eat food when it naturally occurs?
