問題詳情

第二篇：Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods overconventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of organic foods -- a termwhose meaning varies greatly -- frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others.The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is awelcome development. However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the food supply isunsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these claims are not supported by scientificevidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public toseparate fact from fiction.As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures diseaseor provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and form the basis for folklore. Almost dailythe public is besieged by claims for "no-aging" diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods. There are numerousunsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionallysuperior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated grains, and the like.One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more thanconventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe organic foods can maintainhealth and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods. So there is real cause for concern ifconsumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy only expensiveorganic foods instead.
