WHY ARE WE EATING DEAD PLANTS?

LINSDAY TELLS US THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT INSECTICIDES

Learn the shocking story of how Lindsay Aichinger went from being a chemical engineer,  making insecticides, to promoting farming and discovering soil-regeneration solutions to get rid of these toxic chemicals prevalent in our environment. Her journey started when she watched Lorenzo’s Oil. From there, Lindsay strived to help find a cure for orphan diseases. From there she winds up at DuPont, one of the United States’ largest insecticide manufacturing plant. A year later a devastating event pushed Lindsay into depression which ignited her journey into researching these poisonous insecticides and their role on this planet.

Why do we need insecticides? Why this phenomenon is happening? Its mineral deficiency that has led to these plants, to produce [...] simple carbohydrates. [the plants] are sick... they signal out “Im dying, please come eat me.” Basically we are growing sick plants.
— Lindsay Aichinger

In today’s episode of the Eat Real to Heal podcast, Lindsay and Nicolette takes you through the second world war to today’s disastrous conventional farming methods to the inexpensive solution that can heal our soil, our health and ultimately our planet – sea water.

“doing research on why we need pesticides… we do need them as the insects are attacking the plants, Because of the way we have been farming - we have mono-crops.”
