M: What are you eating, Samantha? A piece of steak? I thought you were vegetarian!
W: It is steak, but it’s organic. [1] I was never vegetarian. I just like eating natural food.
M: How can meat be organic?
W: [2] It means the animals don’t eat things that have been genetically modified or sprayed with pesticides.
M: And I suppose it has had a good time walking around the fields, without being shut inside all its life.
W: That’s right.
M: But can you taste the difference?
W: I think so. Anyway, I’m not filling myself with all sorts of chemicals that might give me cancer.
M: Yes, but there’s no proof that pesticides give you cancer.
W: So why do the scientists who monitor these things prefer to eat organic food too? [3] Pesticides are only tested on animals. Companies don’t have to spend millions on trials with human volunteers. Small quantities of chemicals do get into your food.
M: Some food? Look, if the newspapers found a company was deliberately selling an unsafe product, their share price would crash and they’d be out of business in no time.
W: They may go out of business soon if they don’t start selling organic food themselves. They say sales of organic food have risen by 25%.
M: [4] It’s still more expensive. You’ve got to compare the price, which is at least double, with the risk you’re running, which is absolutely minimal if you ask me.
W: Well, this is prime organic beef from the Scottish Highlands. So if you don’t mind, I’d like to finish my lunch!
