    The Pesticide Action Network UK (Pan UK), which analysed the test results, found strawberries to be the worst offender, with 95% of 120 test samples containing PFA pesticides.
    This was followed by 61% of the 109 grape samples tested, 56% of the 121 cherry samples, 42% of the 96 spinach samples and 38% of the 96 tomato samples.

    If it were me, I'd be much more selective with using the satirical "presenter voice" (e.g. maybe just in the intro and outro).
    It's fun and all, but it's a bit much for an entire 20-minute video. I ended up listening to some parts twice because I found it too difficult to stay focused on the unnatural tone.
    The transition sounds (e.g. at 2:55 and 3:16) are also a bit distracting.

    • @TotallyForkable
      @TotallyForkable  24 дні тому

      I appreciate the feedback! I tried to tone down the "presenter" voice during the reading the excerpts parts (unless there was a particularly ridiculous sentence 😂). I toyed with "breaking character" but thought it would be a bit jarring. Still figuring it all out and like I said I appreciate your suggestions!

    • @blueredingreen
      @blueredingreen 24 дні тому

      @@TotallyForkable At least when it comes to an intro, I don't think it would be particularly jarring. I've seen a few channels do some character for the intro, and I think it would come across fine to either do something like saying "let's jump right in" and then going back to normal, or doing a "normal" intro after that (Kallmekris's reaction videos from like a year ago comes to mind, even if that's completely different in topic, tone and energy).
      There are also plenty who do some silly voice or tone shift for a few seconds in the middle of videos. They tend to lean into the jarring shift (visual effects optional) - if done well, that helps to emphasise what they're saying and make the videos more engaging, more than anything else.
      Also, have you heard of Some More News? He seems to do the news parody thing, but mostly without the "presenter voice".
      Also also, and I get that this video is meant as a parody, but good and engaging presenters tend to specifically NOT use the "presenter voice". Consider someone like John Oliver or any of the other late night talk show hosts, for example. One tends to find the "presenter voice" in those dime-a-dozen "top 10 funniest animal videos" type of videos. Which I'd say makes it work as a funny intro or clip in a video, but not for the entire video.
      But those are just my suggestions.

    Nice video structure. I educated myself thanks to vegans. I found out facts about how meat is the healthiest food on earth, while the vegan diet is deficient in many nutrients and unhealthy past a short weightloss diet. Found out that the best diet for the environment is a locally sourced hypercarnivore or carnivore diet and not a vegan diet. Found out that meat eaters have the highest life expectancy and live to the oldest in age far beyond any vegan. I found out that the same amount of animals die for a vegan diet compared to a standard western diet, especially since you have to eat more calories as a vegan.
    Basically there is no good reason to go vegan, but definitely many reasons to eat a locally sourced omnivore/hypercarnivore/carnivore diet. I want to live a long life so i have to eat meat for longevity.
