A question that health conscious consumers may ask when buying produce is whether they are free of pesticides. But currently, there is no federal standard for pesticide free "organically grown" foods grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The result, says U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, is that consumers "too often see confusing and unsubstantiated claims such as ’ organically grown’ and ’ natural’ ".
Currently, 22 states have some kind of certification program or at least requirements for third party certification. Look for the words "certified organically grown" or similar wording. In most cases, that means that no synthetic pesticides have been used in three years and that no synthetic fertilizers have been used in two or three years. Even if your State does not have its own program, you may have seen organically grown produce in the marketplace. If you want to know exactly what that means, ask the store’ s manager or the produce buyer about how the store’ s "organic" produce was grown.
Legislation to establish a natural standard for organically grown produce is making its way through Congress. The US. Department of Agriculture would be responsible for the certification program. The legislation also would establish standards for processed foods claiming organic ingredients. But in the meantime, if you want to be certain that the produce you eat is pesticide free, you have two options. You can buy your fruits and vegetables from someone you know or you can grow your own. [br] The passage implies that______.
选项
A、there is really no organically grown produce yet
B、some foods are falsely labeled
C、some states are slow in making laws concerned
D、each state should stop certifying certain foods
答案
B
解析
第一段指出,由于联邦政府对什么是“绿色食品”(organically grown food)没有统一标准,结果,消费者经常看到令人困惑(confnsing) 和名不副实的(unsubstantiated) 食物标签。在文章最后,作者提了两个建议如果你真想买绿色食品,买熟人的或自己种的(后者带有幽默色彩)。A不正确。绿色食品已上市,只不过有些是滥竽充数而已。C不正确。从第二、三段我们知道,一些州已对绿色食品的审批(certification)做出了规定,联邦政府也在制定相应的规定,但这并不意味着作者嫌其他州
