  1. they're just ordinary farmer couple. how did they know about paraquat?

  2. Polyester fabric is plastic and made from chemicals too. Yet no one has recently discussed this danger to himans, the planet Earth and all it's inhabitants.

  3. They used to spray pot with paraquat.

  4. Lol 😂 people thinking that a chemical sprayed on corps won't have side effects

  5. You see where organic is cheaper in the long run on your health and the environment. Get away from chemicals today!

  6. 0:38 Vietnam veterans had Paraquat Cough from marijuana? I was a kid I didn’t completely understand.

  7. In France, wine country employees are compensated by their country, and other countries as well.
    My guess is the vitiligo on the wife is caused by the pesticides as well.

  8. So i guess organic food is worth the cost.

  9. If the EU bans a product and the US approves it, guaranteed an American politician was bribed.

  10. Well they both start with par…. solved it. Problem with china is these guys are literally making fentanyl and having it shipped to mexico, and believe me, its not just fentanyl, thats being moved to the states. If it doesnt go directly to the states. But 90+% of the fentanyl on the streets was made in a dirty Chinese lab and for some reason were just letting them.

  11. Paraguat is just as dangerous as roundup😢😢
