So, instead of the regular cheesy mac, you go for the organic stuff.

所以你選擇有機食品，而非一般的起司通心粉。

Instead of regular chicken nuggets, you grab some organic chicken nuggets.

你拿了些有機雞塊，而非一般的雞塊。

Then, top it off with some organic sandwich cookies. Hmm cookies!

然後，用一些有機夾心餅乾作結尾。喔，餅乾！

It's all organic so it's good for you, right? Well, not always.

這些都是有機的，所以對健康有益，對吧？ 這個嘛，不盡然如此。

You see, while forty five percent of Americans think the organic label means healthy or good, organic really has nothing to do with how nutritious the food is for you.

雖然 45% 的美國人認為有機商標就代表健康或有益，但「有機」和食物的營養價值其實沒有關聯。

Organic really just defines how the ingredients were created, prepared, or raised.

「有機」其實只是定義了原料如何被創造、準備和飼養。

Let me explain. Organic means that there aren't any genetically modified ingredients.

讓我解釋一下。「有機」是指不含任何基因改造原料。

Also, organic means that no chemicals were used to kill bugs and weeds.

還有，「有機」指的是過程中沒有使用化學品去殺蟲及除雜草。

And that all pesticides are natural instead of synthetic.

而且所有殺蟲劑都是天然而非人造的。

And organic means nothing was fertilized with sewage sludge. Yeah, sewage sludge.

「有機」指的是沒有東西是用污泥堆肥來施肥。沒錯，污泥堆肥。

Organic also means that nothing was exposed to radiation, which some manufacturers do to sterilize food.

有機也代表裡頭沒有東西是曾經暴露在輻射中，有些製造商會為了殺菌而這麼做。

And no industrial solvents were used to clean things up.

而且沒有使用工業溶劑去清理東西。

Also, organic means there can be no chemical food additives that some foods have to make them stay fresh for an unnatural amount of time.

還有，有機是指食物裡沒有任何化學添加物。有些食物會放添加物，為讓它在不合理的時間長度內保持新鮮。

And if it's meat, that there's no routine use of antibiotics or hormones pumped into the animals.

而如果是肉類，就是飼養過程中沒有例行施打抗生素及賀爾蒙給動物。

And all this stuff is really important, but notice, organic doesn't necessarily mean that the ingredients are nutritious.

而這些東西都非常重要，但要注意的是，有機並不代表這些原料一定是營養的。

So if you care about healthy foods, it's more important to just eat the whole foods, mostly fruits and vegetables, and avoid packaged-like substances.

所以如果你注重食品營養，重要的是吃完整的天然食品。多吃水果及蔬菜，避免包裝食品。

And yeah, that includes organic cheesy mac.

是的，有機起司通心粉包含在包裝食品內。

And here's a really big tip.

有個重要的秘訣。

If you can pronounce all the ingredients in a package you're holding, then you're on the right track.

如果你能夠念出你商品包裝上的所有原料，你的方向就對了。
