1. AI slop. That entire YouTube channel is apparently AI-generated. 42 videos since early November. Some of the

info might be correct, but I wouldn't trust any since bit of 'information" without checking real sources from real people.

One of the first YouTube comments on that video that I read:

Can I point out that Skirret can't possibly have been described as tasting like Sweet Potato by medieval writers? Given that Sweet Potatoes originated in Ecuador which wasn't even discovered by Europeans until the Age of Discovery which was after the end of the medieval period.

Some other comments:

You do realize there's a 400 year gap between the time that these veggies fell out of favor and industrial farming.


all of these are available and none are banned, they were replaced by easier to grow and more palatable crops.


Can anyone find any of those university studies that the video "cited" (but left all actual links or mentions of the citations out of the video description)? I would love to see them, but can't find them. This is likely because the information in this video is AI, which would also explain this channel's inexplicable 6 videos per week output, no commenting done or clarification by the video's author, and channel starting 3 months ago (post-widespread LLM usage increase). But yeah if you find those studies, let me know.

2. that's kinda bogus...

I've grown four of those. The reason people don't grow them anymore is because they are impossible to harvest in quantity (skirret), taste extremely bitter (good king henry), are difficult to reproduce (rampion) or taste similar to something else that is easier to grow (kale v orach). If you are at all interested in Permaculture then you've visited mail-order places that offer these. I can point to at least a dozen that offer GKH seed.



K&R anyway.

3. See reply 1. The entire YouTube channel is AI slop. No one should trust any of the info in the videos

posted there without checking real authoritative sources from real human experts.

It's disgusting that YouTube is filling up with this garbage.

4. Also, that's just...

turnips and parsnips in that basket there. And i didn't watch the video btw...

5. Please delete this, Celerity, or at least change the thread title to identify it as AI-generated. Because it

is AI, there's a chance every video on that channel could include possibly dangerous "information" - and most people viewing YT videos won't bother to check.

You can see from the last set of YT comments I quoted above that the fraudster behind these videos refers to nonexistent studies.
