Abstract

"Organic" or "organically grown" foods are commonly represented as "food grown without pesticides; grown without artificial fertilizers; grown in soil whose humus content is increased by the additions of organic matter; grown in soil whose mineral content is increased with applications of natural mineral fertilizers; has not been treated with preservatives, hormones, antibiotics etc." The substitution of "organic" for "chemical" fertilizers during the growth of plants produces no change in the nutritional or chemical properties of foods. All foods are made of "chemicals." Traces of pesticides have been reported to be present in about 20 to 30% of both "organic" and conventional foods. These traces are usually within the official tolerance levels. Such levels are set low enough to protect consumers adequately. Indeed, there is no record of a single case of injury to a consumer resulting from the application of pesticides to food crops at permitted levels.

有机食品。
“有机”或“有机种植”食品通常被描述为“不使用杀虫剂种植的食品;种植时不使用人工肥料;在土壤中生长的,其腐殖质含量因添加有机物而增加;在施用天然矿物肥料而增加矿物含量的土壤中生长的;没有使用防腐剂、激素、抗生素等。”在植物生长过程中,用“有机”肥料代替“化学”肥料不会改变食物的营养或化学性质。所有的食物都是由“化学物质”制成的。据报道,大约20%到30%的“有机”和传统食品中都含有农药的痕迹。这些痕迹通常在官方允许范围内。这一水平设定得足够低,足以充分保护消费者。事实上,没有任何一个消费者因在粮食作物上使用许可水平的农药而受伤的案例记录。
