Uma uthenga ukudla, ufuna ukwazi ukuthi kuvelaphi, akunjalo? I-Whole Foods nayo yacabanga kanjalo-yingakho yethule uhlelo lwayo lwe-Responsibly Grown, olunikeza amakhasimende ukuqonda ngezimiso zokuziphatha nezinqubo ezenzeka emapulazini abathenga kuwo, ekwindla edlule.

"Ukhule ngokuzibophezela ucela abahlinzeki ukuthi baphendule imibuzo engama-41 mayelana nemikhuba ekhulayo ezihlokweni ezibandakanya ukuphathwa kwezinambuzane, impilo yomhlabathi, ukongiwa kwamanzi nokuvikelwa, amandla, imfucuza, inhlalakahle yabasebenzi basemapulazini, kanye nokuhlukahluka kwezinto eziphilayo," kuchaza uMatt Rogers, umxhumanisi womkhiqizo womhlaba wonke we-Whole Foods. Umbuzo ngamunye ufanele inani elithile lamaphuzu, futhi ngokususelwa kulokhu kubalwa, ipulazi linikezwa isilinganiso "esihle," "esingcono," noma "esihamba phambili", esivele sikhonjiswe kuphawu esitolo.

Lolu hlelo lubukeka luyindlela enhle yokunika abathengi amandla, kepha omunye umlimi akajabuli kakhulu ngalo. Lokho kungenxa yokuthi-nakuba isimo se-organic sekuyisikhathi eside sibanjwa njengesilinganiso somkhiqizo wekhwalithi kanye nekhwalithi yepulazi-abanye abalimi abaye badlula ama-hoops woMnyango Wezolimo wase-United States (USDA) ukuze bathole uphawu olusemthethweni lwe-organic akudingekile ukuthi babekwe phezulu kune ipulazi elingeyona ele organic elingafaka umzamo omkhulu empilweni yokulondolozwa kwenhlabathi yabo namandla.

Kungenzeka kanjani lokhu? Well, being organic is just eyodwa ezicini Uhlelo Lokukhula Ngokuziphendulela luyacutshungulwa. Kubheka nezinkinga ezibucayi zezolimo ezithinta impilo yabantu nezemvelo, futhi ihlose ukuklomelisa noma yimuphi umlimi othatha izinyathelo ezinkulu zokubhekana nezinkinga ezinjalo, kusho uRogers. Umbono wabalimi: "I-Organic itshalwa ngokuzibophezela, ngenxa yobuhle," umlimi wezithelo waseCalifornia u-Vernon Peterson utshele i-NPR. Futhi kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi i-Whole Foods iyavumelana naleyo mizwa: "Kalula nje, akukho okuthatha indawo ye-organic seal kanye nezindinganiso ezimele," kusho uRogers. Uhlelo lokulinganisa olukhule ngokuzibophezela lwaklanywa ukuhlinzeka ngesendlalelo esengeziwe sokungafihli kuzimpawu zomkhiqizo, uyanezela.

Yingakho izimpawu ezikhiqizwayo manje zikhombisa kokubili ukulinganiswa kwepulazi kanye negama elithi "organic" uma kusebenza. (Ingabe ukudla okuphilayo kungcono kuwe? Kunama-antioxidants amaningi kanye nezibulala-zinambuzane ezimbalwa.)

Yize sizwelana nakanjani nabalimi okubukeka sengathi behlisiwe, kungenzeka ukuthi badelela ikhasimende le-Whole Foods. Imakethe idume ngokugcina yonke imikhiqizo yayo ibe sezingeni eliphakeme, futhi abathengi sebevele bacabanga ukuthi umkhiqizo esitolo unekhwalithi ephezulu. Ukuthatha kwethu: Inqobo nje uma uthatha ukuthi ngabe ukudla kuyinto ye-organic noma cha, kubalulekile (futhi kupholile!) Ukubona imizamo eyengeziwe ethathwa yizo zonke amapulazi uma kukhulunywa ngokutshala ukudla kwakho ngendlela enhle.
