yes, that "nastiest things" piece is just an anti-supermarket, anti-farming piece.
Notice how every single "alternative" is "organic"?

While they are correct that there's a lot of spoiled fruit and vegetables (and meat) on supermarket shelves, that has nothing to do with production methods and everything with stores overextending the sell by dates past what's reasonable, then putting things on sale only 1-2 days before that date, at which time it's already marginal (at best) for human consumption.
And that includes especially fresh produce, unlike what they claim (that you should buy fresh) and especially "organic" stuff.

Looking at the supermarket here, on average half of all fruit is mouldy. And imported fruit to a lesser extent than locally produced...
Meat, most is spoiled to where it's stinking and rotting in the packaging 2 days after you bring it home, despite the sell by date being 2-3 days after that.
And that's all fresh products. Canned goods tend to last long beyond their sell by date. One reason I now eat canned vegetables almost exclusively. At least it's not moldy and rotting by the time I get to cook it.
