John from http://www.growingyourgreens.com/ shows you how you can be more of a producer in your life instead of a consumer.
In this episode, John will compare the internet connected Juicero juicer, a juicer that can only use plastic juice packs to make 8 ounces of juice using organic produce from the industrial agriculture industry to his backyard garden produce that he knows how it was grown, and harvests it just minutes before it is juiced in an Omega Slow Juicer VSJ843 that allows you to juice homegrown or any other produce.
Finally, John will demonstrate how you can juice more of your own homegrown and local produce faster that the juicero can press out a plastic pouch filled with chopped produce.
After watching this episode, hopefully you will see some of the absurdity of some modern technology and how we can empower ourselves to become more of a producer in our consumer-driven society to make the world a better place.
