Hi Derrick, yeah but you must realise organic food is sprayed also. Yes with naturally occurring compounds but deadly and toxic none the less. In tests organic produce have often been shown to have higher toxin content than non organic. Though organic food does have higher nutrient levels. A good tip is a 9 part water to 1 part salt wash. Which can reduce toxic compounds by over 95%. I keep a large bowl next to the sink for this purpose. Love the channel, keep up the good work. Love to you guys. Joe from the UK.
I have been waiting for you to showcase Coombs Market! Love that place! We buy organic produce and local from there whenever possible...BC fresh next. Do you ever buy any of their fresh bread? do you know if its vegan? @@Simnettnutrition
one part white vinegar to ten parts water... it helps clean your veg and fruits and your berries will last almost twice as long because it kills mold spores!
Definitely agree it's more important to eat fresh fruits and veggies than to worry about organic. Most of my organic produce comes from Costco, it's much cheaper than grocery store/health food store organic produce. I could not/would not afford solely organic produce from a regular grocery store. There's definitely not a lot of local organic produce available where I am either and I will always choose local over anything else! Much friendlier to the environment and it's important to support the people in your community. Love the always positive videos :) happy to see a fellow Canadian putting out awesome vegan content!
Thanks for the videos! This vegetarian/whole food transition has been difficult for me. But the videos keep my head up and keep me optimistic that it can be done. Harmony and peace!
I think you're spot on with you're rationale behind purchasing organic or non-organic produce. I've always thought that buying whole (non-organic) foods had to be the better option when budget or availability is limited, but you're explanation has confirmed it! Thanks man. PS The entire market seems so interesting but I got so excited when I saw there was an actual Goat on the actual roof! NO WAY. Love it! I am envious that you have it all on your doorstep(ish).
Can't get enough of watching you enjoy the simple things in life that we overlook all the time, your energy and passion is amazing. Great market I have been there many times , such a neat spot .
Simnett Nutrition .. Yeha I was born and raised on the island , use to go up to the big parksville car show every year and we always hit coombs as well ! I live in Victoria it's beautiful up your way as it is down here , we are so lucky to be in such a beautiful place .
Hey Derek, I love how genuine you are! Even when you are staring into the camera, it feels like you are there in person making eye contact as you talk to us. It feels very personable, and I appreciate it very much! Sometimes it looks like you are gazing lovingly at us! Lol. So thank you for being awesome, genuine and down to earth. Love from Florida.
We definitively have a similar take on organic vs non. A fruit is a fruit and local fruit is important and delicious. My husband and I buy baking soda and scrub/rinse the produce with hot water and baking soda before we eat it. Not sure if you’ve heard of that or maybe it’s a myth. You would probably know! Fun video. Loved that market.
I started my plant base vegan life style one month ago and have felt better than I ever have and I lost 16 lbs in the process and your recipes are some the best that I have tried yet
Awesome video, love the way you show us around the shop, the way you shoot/edit the scenes, really awesome. These types of videos really help to keep me motivated. Please derek, make more of these, hopefully your going to do a few more videos on cooking meals, cheers !!
Man, I can't tell you how happy I am that I stumbled on your page! Me, my mom, and boyfriend have gone to a plant based diet after watching WTH. I love ALL of your vids!! We are the same in the aspect of, we try to purchase all organic when possible. Sometimes it's inevitable! Great job again! Two thumbs up as always! 👍🏼👍🏼 (would love a vlog as to what Crystal eats in a day.. just for a female perspective!)
Hey Derek! Just want to thank you for making such enjoyable video's, all the positivity and kindness you display gradually opened me up to question my diet, my morals, and whether or not it was justified.. and it was not, and I had to reevaluate it all. You were the spark that led to me becoming vegan as of yesterday :) Thank you! My eyes are open now.
Wow. Well Good Morning friend! That is amazing. It is a powerful message and I think we know deep down things are not aligned. How can we love one but consume another? All the best, thanks for the comment.
Love that store, very zen. Thx for sharing! Simple, yet powerful message...eat whole foods as much as possible. Thx for making that message sooooo exciting 😊
We always choose organic where possible. The biggest part of our diet is wholefoods. Saying that we have some store bought, packaged, processed burgers and sausages in the freezer for that quick fix maybe once a month.
I love that place! You made the food look amazing! And, I totally agree with you, on local, and sometimes conventional over organic. I love peeling those atulfo mangos when they are ripe and juicy. Seriously the BEST. And very balanced in cronometer, love having after a workout. Stoked on the bamboo too! That was a sweet find.
Could you do a video about what to fill your pantry/fridge/freezer with to be well prepared to cook/make smoothies/meal/snacks? also essential spices? Also. thoughts on coconut oil? Love the vids! It's a bit of a transition for me but I'm planning go full vegan very soon. Mainly for Ethical reasons but also thanks to people like you.
I live in a rural area and we have TONS of farmers markets in my area with cheap fresh fruits and vegetables from the area. I am always once the fence on wether to buy the cheaper fresh peaches from them or go to a organic store (that's farther away) and buy the more expensive organic peaches there.
REQUEST: Just SUBSCRIBED, 5 days vegan now!... I hear other UA-camrs talk about whole foods to avoid or that could kill you! I can't imagine being alone in wanting to hear your opinions on what to avoid and also what to eat more of. Thank you gor making this transition much easier for me and other new vegans, leading through example is just... You're amazing : D
I definitely have very similar views on organic and conventional produce as you. I live in New England, so I do not have a year-round local produce option, so very often I just go with the organic. But sometimes I do not, because it seems good quality, and often as you said, local farms are just not certified organic., and they grow wonderful food. Thank you for your video!
Super cool vlog, you make us want to move to the Island when we get back to Canada. The slow mo was on point here, got that 60FPS going strong!! (is this the new cam you were mentioning a few vlogs back?) We agree too that all the illnesses and diseases we have out there aren't due to whether people eat organic or not, as long as you're getting the right "whole foods" in you than you're doing better than most!!!
YES, great point. Most diseases are caused by bad diet, not a bit of pesticides on a healthy diet. Yes, I love the 60fps. And yes, this is the canon G7x. It is such a joy to film with. Thanks for noticing.
Very, very good vlog! Your mood and attitude towards.... pretty much everything reflects your diet perfectly (maybe make a video on how a vegan diet positively alters your mood?). Can't see how anyone could dislike this to be honest. I now like these videos before I watch them - thank you Derek.
for me it goes - fresh fruit/veg still alive with enzymes from a near by farmers market whether it's organic or not > organic fruit/veg from supermarket that will have lost a lot of it's enzymes with the travelling and preparation > non-organic supermarket veg/fruit but remember some fruit and veg are perfectly fine to eat non-organic because it may be already protect with a tough skin or need very little protection from insects, also getting frozen fruit and veg seems a decent option as i've read they are sprayed less. simnett does make point that i've wondered about, yes these pesticides have dodgy chemicals but wouldn't specific fruit and veg that are know to cleanse the body of chemicals counter the pesticide chemicals? I know algea based powders spirulina and chlorella are good at ridding the body of toxins.
I agree wholeheartedly regarding the organic vs conventional debate. My motto is good/better/best, do what you can when you can. People forget that a majority of the studies done regarding plant diets and health are done with conventional plant foods. People are *improving* their health with conventional.
It has been difficult to know what we really can eat or not eat. My wife and I struggle with wanting to eat organic but not being able to afford it. I appreciate your viewpoint because we are the ones that go get fast food out of frustration. It's good to see it's okay to eat non organic and that the main goal is to whole foods. Which is our goal. I'm a huge support of GMO's but not Round Up. My concern isn't really on the spray because it can be washed. I'm more worried about seeds that are coated in Round Up, not sprayed after they are grown. So from the time it is a seed to harvest, Round Up is literally a part of every stage. That's the scary part. Thank you for all you do! You have been a major inspiration for this household :)
Local is the new organic. If something organic is flown thousands of miles it loses nutrients along the way, it's grown in huge monocultures, and you miss out on the varieties that don't travel well or supermarkets don't stock. Sometimes with local foods you can find out who the farmer is and ask them their practices. My city's farmers' markets restrict the origin to about 150 miles but don't require organic: some farmers are transitional meaning they're in the 7-year process to become organic, or they don't get organic certification because it costs a lot of money.
Totally agree on the "fruits / veggies is better than none, even if non organics" Even doctor Greger show that the "extra" risk of having non organic is far far faaaar lower than the benefits of eating it Keep up the good work man!
Dude, thank you for sharing this information. I always try to buy organic food, but like you said it's really expensive and I feel like eating the non-organic stuff is going to make me sick or kill me. I've definitely cut down on processed food a lot since first becoming vegan. I like all the knowledge I'm getting from your channel.
I loved this video! Love the bamboo you found and the goat on the roof is cute! Great deal on all the food you bought! And Derrick you make the videos fun to watch! I'm inspired by you and crystal my daughter and I are vegans for 2 months now and were happy and we love your recipes and ideas! Thank you for all you do!! 😊🌱✌
Awe man, you live near Coombs? Love the island. Spent all of June touring around Salt Spring, Juan de Fuca and the Sunshine Coast.. We've got some pretty sweet markets here in Nelson, BC, but that coombs / goats on the roof market is next level!
That place is awesome! Liked the dynamic in this video a lot. The organic debate is not much of a debate for me. The unknown long term effects and compromises chemicals can take on the body are not worth risking. However I have been living without bamboo all this time thinking life is complete, I think I have a bamboo bug now.
Awesome video! I heard you mentioned that you will be building a tiny house. What made you want to go tiny and what are some of your ideas besides incorporating bamboo? I'd love to hear your thoughts P.S. My girlfriend and I are vegan and we are planning to move to Canada in the near future and build our own tiny home too!
Hey man :) just wanted to congrat you for the increase on vídeo quality! really shows that you you are putting more effort on making them :D continue the great job!
love that market they have so many neat things and great food. The Mexican restaurant there has a pretty great vegan option last time I was there. If you're close by I'd recommend the Cedar farmers market if you're looking for some other great local finds, it's just south of Nanaimo and runs on Sundays during the summer :)
i love the symbiosis between your excitement and knowledge for food! What kind of degree did you get in school!? ..i appreciate your videos and love that goes out to help everyone who has found themselves watching. ;))
omg I'm in love with your channel me and my friend are going vegan and I'm getting information about it and I know its goint to be hard but you are helping a lot your channel is amazing thank you so much
what a beautiful place! I love those porcelain bowls. As far as the organic vs non-organic goes, I think that organic will be more affordable in the future because veganism is blooming and a lot of people, at least in my area, are supporting local and organic producers. There are lots of benefits to organic options but it is just not yet possible for the entire population. Time will show, for sure :)
Organic certification is usually too expensive for most small farmers so if they say they don’t use chemicals I trust them. It’s good to know your local growers.
Hey Derek, loved the video as always! I'm with you on the organic vs. non-organic debate. I try to buy organic whenever possible, but I try to focus on getting fresh, local produce from farmers' markets. A lot of the time the produce there is even cheaper than the non-organic stuff they sell in stores. Keep up the great work, I am a huge fan of your channel (and of your green smoothies)! P.S. What camera did you end up getting, cause your bokeh is on point?
Dude! I'm from Sydney Australia and we have a smear of vegemite (B vits) on toast then smash some avocado on top (good fats), squeeze of lemon (vits&mins), crack of black pepper (antioxidants), and a pinch of black sesame seeds (zinc, copper). So good! But yeah vegemite on its own is too rough.
Simnett Nutrition haha if only we weren't so far away! Shout out from Az! If we ever go up to Canada 🇨🇦 I'll hit ya up for sure and go hit the gym with ya! Btw we converted to a vegan lifestyle thanks to you...Keep up the great work!
Love your videos Derek! Currently trying to figure out my life purpose lol and one thing that I can continually geek out on is studying food, what it does, the pros the cons of different foods on the body, etc.... my question for you is, since I love learning about the field So much, do you recommend schooling to become a RDN? Is it worth the cost of schooling? Anything helps! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and inspiration through your videos! 🤙🏼
Hey! Goats on the roof! I visited this market while on my road trip to Canada with my family this summer!! And you're right: better local than organic from China... best deal would be organic local! like the blueberry small stand we found when leaving Port Albeni ;-) In Geneva, there are lots of options of organic local but it's sooo expensive...
When you showed the «read the ingredients» label in the back of your car i found it super cool, might copy that idea from you some of this days :D Love your spirit Derek! ;)
Yo derrick , another awesome video and the goat on the roof lol. I think you're spot on Whole Foods / fruit and vegetables are better choices organic or not. Sure has changed my life in the short 2 months I have been vegan. Thanks man oh is your e book with the recipes done?
You do realize that wasp is carrying that caterpillar to suck its internals until it's fully dead, right? You're so positive about everything man, you'd probably say: "Oh what a beautiful wonderful world!", with a smile radiating all that positive motivating energy. EDIT: that kinda freaks me out Derek.
DEREK!!!!! 😁 another great video! That market is so beautiful!!!! The more I research, organic just seems like the way to go!!! Right now Im vegetarian, and the more I research and enjoy your videos it puts me right on the cusp to go vegan! I know I can do it but it will be a process for me like anything else. Question for you Derek......what changes to your health and body did you notice in the beginning, the more and more you stayed with the vegan lifestyle? Would love to know please and thank you! 😊
I made a soup with whole green onions and garlic etc. I went on a date, I guess it went bad. When I got back my brother said I smelled like garlic/onion.

food could be sprayed with arsenic and be organic
The spray isn't what bothers me as much as Round Up covered seeds which is what companies like Monsanto do.
I've never seen anyone get such a hard on for bamboo
wow i want to try that
Round Up is safe :/
No click-bate from this guy, always comes through with the quality content 😌
"Worlds BEST MARKET + Ladder For Tiny Home" would have been better ;)
I have been waiting for you to showcase Coombs Market! Love that place! We buy organic produce and local from there whenever possible...BC fresh next. Do you ever buy any of their fresh bread? do you know if its vegan?

one part white vinegar to ten parts water... it helps clean your veg and fruits and your berries will last almost twice as long because it kills mold spores!
branden maestas works like a charm
YES! Great point! There was so much more to say about the topic. Thanks for pointing this out!
branden maestas won't we feel the taste of vinegar then? just usual white vinegar?
What about apple cider? and do you soak them for a certain period of spray/wash them?
Just normal white vinegar? NEED to try this!

True love!
We definitively have a similar take on organic vs non. A fruit is a fruit and local fruit is important and delicious.

Hey Derek! Just want to thank you for making such enjoyable video's, all the positivity and kindness you display gradually opened me up to question my diet, my morals, and whether or not it was justified.. and it was not, and I had to reevaluate it all.
You were the spark that led to me becoming vegan as of yesterday :) Thank you! My eyes are open now.
Wow. Well Good Morning friend! That is amazing. It is a powerful message and I think we know deep down things are not aligned. How can we love one but consume another? All the best, thanks for the comment.
Your videos just keep getting better and better!
Love that store, very zen. Thx for sharing! Simple, yet powerful message...eat whole foods as much as possible. Thx for making that message sooooo exciting 😊
Editing skills are on point, brother! I'm a fan of the day in the life kinda vlogs just as much as the tutorials/lessons! You rock, Simnett!
Thanks so much. I try and keep a bit of variety while maintaining a bit of consistency. Thanks.
We always choose organic where possible. The biggest part of our diet is wholefoods. Saying that we have some store bought, packaged, processed burgers and sausages in the freezer for that quick fix maybe once a month.
Only once a month? ;)
Wow, nostalgia. I remember that market from 20 years ago.
Hahaha, it is quite old. I have no idea how that roof is still holding up. It is a modern marvel.
Goats on Roof!!!
One of my favorite places on Earth. They also have a dope as heck hot sauce section.
Yes that's pretty much why I go in there. Haha.
I love that place! You made the food look amazing! And, I totally agree with you, on local, and sometimes conventional over organic. I love peeling those atulfo mangos when they are ripe and juicy. Seriously the BEST. And very balanced in cronometer, love having after a workout. Stoked on the bamboo too! That was a sweet find.
Could you do a video about what to fill your pantry/fridge/freezer with to be well prepared to cook/make smoothies/meal/snacks? also essential spices? Also. thoughts on coconut oil? Love the vids!

I live in a rural area and we have TONS of farmers markets in my area with cheap fresh fruits and vegetables from the area. I am always once the fence on wether to buy the cheaper fresh peaches from them or go to a organic store (that's farther away) and buy the more expensive organic peaches there.
REQUEST: Just SUBSCRIBED, 5 days vegan now!... I hear other UA-camrs talk about whole foods to avoid or that could kill you! I can't imagine being alone in wanting to hear your opinions on what to avoid and also what to eat more of.
Thank you gor making this transition much easier for me and other new vegans, leading through example is just... You're amazing : D

Oh it's smokey now but yeah, we get a bit more wind here.

Wow! I have never been to those places. Only Salt Spring and of course Nelson. I love it there, I have some good friends in Winlaw!
oh man!!! ran out of words....just again awesomeeeee
We’ve been to that Coombs market so many times ....it’s always a lot of fun !!😁 thx for the vlog!!
Can't wait for tiny home videos one day!
That place is awesome! Liked the dynamic in this video a lot.
The organic debate is not much of a debate for me.

There are lots of benefits to organic options but it is just not yet possible for the entire population. Time will show, for sure :)
Certain foods like apples, berries and leafy greens I always make sure to buy organic. Such a good video once again!
Yes, I'm with ya on those ones!
Organic certification is usually too expensive for most small farmers so if they say they don’t use chemicals I trust them. It’s good to know your local growers.
Hey Derek, loved the video as always! I'm with you on the organic vs. non-organic debate. I try to buy organic whenever possible, but I try to focus on getting fresh, local produce from farmers' markets. A lot of the time the produce there is even cheaper than the non-organic stuff they sell in stores. Keep up the great work, I am a huge fan of your channel (and of your green smoothies)! P.S. What camera did you end up getting, cause your bokeh is on point?
Dude! I'm from Sydney Australia and we have a smear of vegemite (B vits) on toast then smash some avocado on top (good fats), squeeze of lemon (vits&mins), crack of black pepper (antioxidants), and a pinch of black sesame seeds (zinc, copper). So good! But yeah vegemite on its own is too rough.
My wife and I love your channel bro! If we were there in BC we'd definitely hang with ya guys! Beautiful place!
Kenny! For sure man. Bring your mustang! I'm a car guy ;)
Simnett Nutrition haha if only we weren't so far away! Shout out from Az! If we ever go up to Canada 🇨🇦 I'll hit ya up for sure and go hit the gym with ya! Btw we converted to a vegan lifestyle thanks to you...Keep up the great work!
Loved your opinion on organics. Thank you!
Sweet video!! Keep them up, always a treat to watch.🤙
Thanks so much! I try :D
Your editing has become so much better 🔝🔝🔝
Thank you! Always trying to improve!
Coombs!! Love that place, great vid!
Sending good vibes from another islander
Good video. Good music and camera work. I agree about the organic stuff. Just do the best you can. Don't be militant about everything.
Great Video... We need some Stores like this here 😊
Such a beautiful place and all that amazing food. I am so hungry right now! Nice shots as well, very enjoyable to watch :-) cheers!
Thanks Uli!
Wow you live in a really cool place! Love your videos!
Love the Vegemite - how random !!!!! Just had some on my toast for breakfast today 👍🏻 Hi from Sydney Australia 😀
Love your videos Derek! Currently trying to figure out my life purpose lol and one thing that I can continually geek out on is studying food, what it does, the pros the cons of different foods on the body, etc.... my question for you is, since I love learning about the field
So much, do you recommend schooling to become a RDN? Is it worth the cost of schooling? Anything helps! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and inspiration through your videos! 🤙🏼
Ahhhh I just love this guy. He’s like... old day hat, cowboy hat, no f*cks given 😂
Thanks dude - like the idea of lots of bamboo - can't wait to see you're tiny home videos! 😂
Could you do a video on what vegan protein shakes you like for smoothies?
Hey! Goats on the roof! I visited this market while on my road trip to Canada with my family this summer!! And you're right: better local than organic from China... best deal would be organic local! like the blueberry small stand we found when leaving Port Albeni ;-) In Geneva, there are lots of options of organic local but it's sooo expensive...
How can you be so fit and healthy but smoke!? 1.40
Haha, yes not happy with that light streak.
Henry Hill I didn't notice that the first time I watched it 😂 went back and had a good laugh.
He spit out the cigarette becasue he saw a no smoking sign at 1:42
Awesome vid!! Love everything you do🙌🌱💪
you've gone from 60k subscribers to 85k in like 4 weeks haha. love it
When you showed the «read the ingredients» label in the back of your car i found it super cool, might copy that idea from you some of this days :D Love your spirit Derek! ;)
Haha, yes, fitting for a nutritionist.
I love the goats!!!!
Cool place, dig the music
Thank you. Not my music but it's credited below. It is music from viewers!
Yo derrick , another awesome video and the goat on the roof lol. I think you're spot on Whole Foods / fruit and vegetables are better choices organic or not. Sure has changed my life in the short 2 months I have been vegan. Thanks man oh is your e book with the recipes done?
You do realize that wasp is carrying that caterpillar to suck its internals until it's fully dead, right? You're so positive about everything man, you'd probably say: "Oh what a beautiful wonderful world!", with a smile radiating all that positive motivating energy. EDIT: that kinda freaks me out Derek.
DEREK!!!!! 😁 another great video! That market is so beautiful!!!! The more I research, organic just seems like the way to go!!!
Right now Im vegetarian, and the more I research and enjoy your videos it puts me right on the cusp to go vegan! I know I can do it but it will be a process for me like anything else.
Question for you Derek......what changes to your health and body did you notice in the beginning, the more and more you stayed with the vegan lifestyle? Would love to know please and thank you! 😊
I made a soup with whole green onions and garlic etc. I went on a date, I guess it went bad. When I got back my brother said I smelled like garlic/onion.
