But all DNA is not encoded......in humans only about 1.5% is..

I wonder what you're trying to say here. Do you mean that all DNA is is "not coding"?

That doesn't change the fact that DNA does contain encoded information and in fact its primary purpose is to store encoded information. Its only part of an information encoding system (with a symbolic language, ribosomes, and other features).

Further the "non-coding" sections of DNA do have purposes (gene regulation) which aren't yet well understood. In fact there's believed to be another as yet untranslated language. For a long time, evolutionists proclaimed "non-coding" DNA was junk left over from evolution. An example of evolutionary theory acting temporarily as a science stopper.

A vegetable, e.g. an onion, has very much more DNA than man....any idea why??

No. And I'm not sure I'd believe it based on your claim. Its not important and has nothing to do with the issue of how the information and information encoding system in living things originated.
