A festival for the students in Groningen with trucks of organic food: but isn’t organic food too expensive?

“I would say non-organic food is too cheap. Let food be your first medicine. So why pay more for your medicines than for your food?” says H.J. van Vliet who owns LekkereTrek.

Dr. Fareeba Sheedfar, researcher in medicine, nutrition, and dietetics urges people to eat organic food because of the health benefits. Watch my whole interview with her:
