I don’t think that washing will be enough to remove all traces of pesticides. I assume that some of the pesticides are embedded in the peel by the time the fruit is harvested. But don’t take my word for it.

It might be better to just pick untreated fruit from the beginning, if possible.

Just a reminder: bananas could be heavily treated with pesticides.

From a consumer perspective, video consumption is passive, thus more easier. Also, many people don’t like to read very much or are scared away by what looks like bigger amounts of text.

From a creator perspective videos are in some cases easier or maybe “fun” to make. Structuring content as text really well is not easy and if done right the content might be boiled down to a few sentences - in which case maybe people notice that they don’t actually have much to say. Also, with video content, the content becomes more creator-centric alone by having to narrate something.

From my personal perspective, when I look for information alone, I will always prefer a carefully written book or article in place of a video. If I’m looking for easy and passive entertainment, then I’ll prefer the video.

That said, everyone can take whatever they like most and works better for them. But people shouldn’t be expecting me to open/watch a video just because that’s what works best for them, because that doesn’t work for me. Also, I personally often listen to music while reading.

I don’t think that they were advocating book burnings rather than trying to point out that the burnings are an act of provocation to which the best and most mature reaction would be ignoring them.
