The popularity of organic foods can be traced to many people’s nostalgia for a simpler, more pioneer-like life style And many people believe that organic foods are safer than foods produced on a
Trang 4large scale by traditional methods Many people also believe that these organic foods contain more and better nutrients than conventional food
In fact, plants absorb all their food directly from the soil in inorganic form, no matter where the nutrients may originally have come from Experiments in Michigan and in England that went on for twenty-five years were unable to find any difference in plants raised organically and plants raised with chemical fertilizers Things that do affect nutrient content are climate, time of harvest, and genetics -but no difference results when plants are grown organically
Neither are organically grown plants free from chemicals such as pesticides Some pesticides leave traces in the soil for years; these traces may be absorbed by the plant that is “organically” grown Rainfall may wash pesticides from neighboring farms onto “organic” fields, and sprays or other applications of chemicals may drift and cause the same problem
Furthermore, all foods - whether grown conventionally or organically - may contain toxic
substances to some degree; the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) maintains constant checks to ensure that these substances are kept at a harmless level But aflatoxin, a mold that causes cancer, may grow on crops such as peanuts, or be present in milk Lead and arsenic are sometimes present in bone meal or seafood And many vegetables contain poisonous compounds such as oxalic acid and nitrite compounds The point is, all these toxins may be present in a given food, no matter how the food was grown and cultivated Toxic substances in food do not necessarily have to come from fertilizers or chemical sprays

One of Aesop's fables describing a thirsty crow which was able to drink from a half-full pitcher after raising the water level by adding pebbles may have had a basis in real life
Scientists have found that rooks - a member of the crow family - were able to figure out how to raise
the water level in a laboratory container by dropping stones inside to retrieve a tasty worm floating on the surface
The only other animal shown to be able to perform the same task is the orang-utan, which was able
to grasp a floating peanut by spitting water into a tube Scientists believe the demonstration shows that,
in many respects, rooks and crows have comparable intelligence to primates when it comes to the use
of tools
"We have performed a large number of studies on both corvids (members of the crow family) and apes, and have found that the crow's performance is on a par or often superior to apes However, it is not particularly useful to say that one species is more or less intelligent than another because often the playing fields aren't even," said Nathan Emery of Queen Mary, University of London, who carried out the work with Christopher Bird at Cambridge
"This (study) suggests that they can not only think through complex problems requiring the use of tools, but imagine the consequences of their actions without trial-and-error learning, and create novel
solutions to these problems that have never been encountered before," Dr Emery said.
"This has only ever been shown in the great apes and humans and is more surprising because the birds have brains the size of walnuts and these birds do not use tools in the wild."
"We believe that intelligence in rooks and other crows evolved primarily to solve social problems,
as almost all crow species live in large social groups, but they also mainly form pair bonds, like human
marriages, and some of their cognitive abilities appear to have evolved to help them predict what
others are going to do next - so-called mind reading," Dr Emery said
Trang 6"This may have developed into understanding about the psychological properties of unseen forces that are important in using and making tools."
