Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / July 2007Organic food.
Organic foods are produced according to certain production standards. For crops, it means they were grown without the use of conventional pesticides, artificial fertilizers, human waste, or sewage sludge, and that they were processed without ionizing radiation or food additives.

What exactly is wrong with ionizing radiation? It would seem to be the safest and least destructive way to ensure that food does not contain toxin-producing bacteria.

Radiation is icky. It is contrary to the blissninnie communitarian ideals. >>>Organic foods are produced according to certain production standards. >>>For crops, it means they were grown without the use of conventional [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > It is contrary to the blissninnie communitarian ideals. :D >>Organic foods are produced according to certain production standards. >>For crops, it means they were grown without the use of conventional [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > the safest and least destructive way to ensure that food does not > contain toxin-producing bacteria. It is my understanding that ionizing radiation negatively charges particles in a way that can be harmful to living things that come into contact with them. Same as the ionizing air filters, if I understand it correctly, that the EPA says damages healthy lungs. Somebody correct me if I am wrong. cybercat schrieb: >>> Organic foods are produced according to certain production standards. >>> For crops, it means they were grown without the use of conventional [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > contact with them.

Radiation does charge "particles" but this is not really relevant to food at the point you get it into your hands. It's not like the charge sticks to the food like paint or food additives. All the food is wet and in contact with other materials, like packaging, cooling lines, cars, human hands and so on. Any possible static charge will be grounded milliseconds after the radiation has stopped. You know the old kids game of rubbing a plastic ruler on your trousers and let small bits of paper dance on the electrical charge? Try that with bits of apple or meat and observe the result. > Somebody correct me if I am wrong. Hope this helps. Lots of Greetings!

But "organic" poultry (and eggs from their hens) are not the same as "free range", as I think many people assume. "Organic" only applies to what they're fed - they can still be "factory" farmed. "Free range" means they are allowed into some sort of outdoor enclosure to scratch and find insects, etc. to supplement their diets. (The feed they're given may or may not be "organic", although the bugs certainly are!)
