IQela eliSebenzayo lokusiNgqongileyo (EWG) kutshanje likhuphe isiKhokelo salo sonyaka sabathengi kwizibulali-zinambuzane kwimveliso. Isalathiso sibandakanya uluhlu lweDirty Dozen lweziqhamo ezilishumi elinambini kunye nemifuno enezona ndawo zininzi ze-pesticide kunye ne-Clean Fifteen uluhlu lwemveliso kunye namanqanaba aphantsi e-pesticide.
Ukudibana nazo zombini ii-cheers kunye ne-jeers, isikhokelo sonyaka sihlala samkelwa ngabathengi bokutya okuphilayo, kodwa sixhaswe ngabasebenzi bezempilo kunye nabaphandi ababuza ubungqongqo besayensi emva koluhlu. Masingene nzulu kubungqina bokukunceda wenze ukhetho oluqinisekileyo nolukhuselekileyo xa uthengela iziqhamo kunye nemifuno kwigrosari.
Zeziphi iziqhamo nemifuno ekhuselekileyo?
Isiseko seSikhokelo se-EWG kukunceda abathengi baqonde ukuba zeziphi iziqhamo kunye nemifuno enezona ntsalela zininzi okanye ezincinci zezitshabalalisi.
Thomas Galligan, Ph.D., i-toxicologist kunye ne-EWG ichaza ukuba i-Dirty Dozen ayilona uluhlu lweziqhamo kunye nemifuno yokuphepha. Endaweni yoko, i-EWG icebisa ukuba abathengi bakhethe iinguqulelo eziphilayo kwezi zilishumi elinambini “Dirty Dozen” izinto, ukuba ziyafumaneka kwaye ziyafikeleleka:
- Amaqunube
- Ispinatshi
- I-Kale, i-collards, kunye nemifuno yemostade
- IiNectarines
- Ama-apile
- Iidiliya
- Intsimbi kunye nepepile eshushu
- Amatsheri
- Iipesika
- Amapere
- Isileri
- Iitumato
Kodwa ukuba awukwazi ukufikelela okanye ukufikelela kwiinguqulelo eziphilayo zoku kutya, ezikhuliswe ngokuqhelekileyo zikhuselekile kwaye zisempilweni. Loo ngongoma kaninzi ayiqondwa kakuhle – kodwa kubalulekile ukuqaphela.
UGalligan uthi: “Iziqhamo nemifuno yinxalenye yokutya okusempilweni. "Wonke umntu kufuneka atye imveliso eninzi, nokuba yesiqhelo okanye yendalo, kuba izibonelelo zokutya okuphezulu kwiziqhamo kunye nemifuno zingaphezulu kobungozi obunokubakho bokuvezwa kwezibulali zinambuzane."
Ke, ngaba kufuneka ukhethe i-organic?
I-EWG icebisa abathengi ukuba bakhethe imveliso ephilayo nanini na kunokwenzeka, ngakumbi kwizinto ezikuluhlu lweDirty Dozen. Asinguye wonke umntu ovumelana neli cebiso.
“I-EWG yi-arhente yamatshantliziyo, hayi urhulumente,” utshilo uLanger. "Oku kuthetha ukuba i-EWG ine-ajenda, kukukhuthaza amashishini axhaswa ngemali - oko kukuthi, abavelisi bokutya okuphilayo."
Ekugqibeleni, ukhetho lolwakho njengomthengi wegrosari. Khetha into onokukwazi ukuyifikelela, ufikelele kwaye uyonwabele, kodwa ungoyiki iziqhamo kunye nemifuno ekhuliswa ngokwesiqhelo.
