I really liked this video, but it makes me wonder if its sponsored by the cotton industry. its would be more blamed to say all this and also mention the horrible environmental impact that mainstream cotton growing has. The pesticides used to protect cotton stay in the land for so long that it can poison other crops. Take rice grown on or near soil that had grown cotton in the past. There a was recently revealed scandal in which consumer reports showed that lots of rice was contaminated with arsenic levels over the legal limits and a lot of baby food that used this rice had to be removed from the shelves. Enough arsenic is still in many brands of rice that they recommend you only have a small amount each week. Take a look at consumer reports arsenic rice articles if you want to learn more. Best wishes, stay safe.

I love how TED-Ed began with boring videos and eventually started making these kind of videos I can show to my little sister so she can understand the world better
