ASK MR,GREEN:Organic Produce versus Nonorganic Produce
Dear Confused Shopper,
You're right.Sometimes organic produce doesn't look as nice as nonorganic produce,and it generally costs up to 50 percent more.Let me explain why.
Since about 1950,farmers have used chemicals to grow their fruits and vegetables..They use pesticides to kill insects that eat their plants.They use herbicides to kill the weeds that kill their plants.These chemicals are a great help to farmers.By using them,farmers can grow more produce on the same amount of land.This means that shoppers can find more produce in the stores.
Farmers even use chemicals to artificially ripen fruits and vegetables.Most tomatoes,for example,are picked from the vine wile they are still green.They turn red when chemicals are added to the box as it goes to the supermarket.Because produce can be picked early,it can travel long distances to stores.As a result,we can find most kinds of fruits and vegetables all year long.
Some people argue,however,that there are problems with using all these chemicals.When we eat produce,we're also eating a little bit of the chemicals.Over time,these chemicals build up in our bodies.Some scientists believe that this build-up of chemicals can even cause cancer.Because of worries like these,some farmers now grow produce the old-fashioned way--without chemicals.We call this kind of produce "organic."
Organic produce is more expensive than other produce for several reasons.Many organic farmers can't grow as much produce as other farmers.Their farms tend to be smaller,and,of course,they don't use herbicides and pesticides.And because no chemicals are used,the produce has to arrive at the store very soon after it's picked.This,too,costs money.
Is organic produce worth the extra cost?Should you buy organic produce or nonorganic produce?That's up to you.But,if you're not familiar with organic produce,you might want to try it.More and more shoppers are buying organic produce.And many of these shoppers say that they're not just concerned about their health.They say organic fruits and vegetable taste fresher and better.

问问绿色先生：有机农产品和非有机农产品
亲爱的饱受困惑的顾客们：
你说得很对.有时候有机农产品没有非有机农产品看上去那么好看,而且一般还要贵上50％或者更多.让我解释是为什么.
大概从1950年开始,农民使用了化学品来种植水果和蔬菜.他们使用杀虫剂杀死吞噬他们农作物的昆虫.他们使用除草剂铲除排挤他们农作物的杂草.这些化学品对农民来说是有非常大的帮助的.农民可以通过使用它们在同一块土地上种植更多的农产品.这意味着,消费者可以在商店里面选购的农产品数量会更多.
农民甚至使用化学品人工催熟水果和蔬菜.比如说,大多数的西红柿在还是青色的时候就从藤上摘取下来了.在运输途中,他们会被添加到箱子里面的化学品催化成红色.正是因为农产品可以提早摘采,他们可以被长途运输到商店里面.因此,我们在商店里面全年都可以找到大部分各种各样的水果和蔬菜.
然而,有些人认为有使用这些化学品是存在隐患的.因为当我们在吃农产品的时候,我们同时也吃了少量的化学品.日积月累,这些化学品会聚集在我们的体内.一些科学家相信,这种聚集的化学品甚至可以导致癌症.因为由于这些忧虑的产生,现在有些农民开始采用老式的种植方法 - 不用化学品.我们称这种农产品为“有机”.
有机农产品比其他农产品更加昂贵的原因主要有以下几点.许多种植有机农场品的农民不能像其他农民那样种植那么多农产品（或者说,不像其他农民那样高产）.他们的农场往往较小,当然了,他们不使用杀虫剂和除草剂.因为没有使用化学品,农产品在摘采后不得不尽快的运到商店.这当然也更花钱.
有机农产品值得花费这么多额外的钱吗?你应该买有机农产品和非有机农产品呢?这是你的决定.但是,如果你还不是很熟悉有机农产品的话,你可能想尝试一下.越来越多的消费者购买有机农产品.这其中许多的消费者说,他们不仅仅只是关心自己的健康.他们说,有机水果和蔬菜品尝起来味道更新鲜更好.
