為什麼有機食品比常規食品更昂貴?

screen-shot-2016-12-01-at-11-41-29-am
在香港,有機食品毫無疑問比常規食品更昂貴。在一些商店裡,有機產品標籤能讓食品的價格增加30%。
有機產品認證的產品成本增加都是有原因的,原因包括:

  • 有機食品供應與需求相比來說是很有限的
  • 有機食品的生產成本通常比較高,因為輸出的勞力比產量來得更高和企業的多方面發展使到規模經濟無法實現
  • 相比常規生產,較少收成的有機食品在收成後的處理成本都會特別高,特別是加工和運輸的成本。
  • 有機產品的市場營銷和分銷渠道相對而言比較沒效率,成本就比較高。

隨著有機食品和產品需求增加和技術的創新,它們的成本都應該會降低,以使到有機食品變得更經濟實惠。換言之,對有機食品的需求增加會降低了您所喜愛的食品價格。
有機食品是否值得購買?
有兩個關於常規食品主要的安全問題:化學和細菌污染。在動物實驗研究中,許多常規食物中使用的化學物質已被證明會導致內分泌和生殖問題、先天性障礙、行為改變、哮喘和癌症。許多健康倡導者認為雖即使產品已符合食品安全標準,但常規食品中高濃度的農藥和其他農業化學品水平對我們來說仍然太高,特別是對於年輕的一代。
一般的動物養殖場以不增加它們的飼料份量的前題下廣泛地使用低劑量的抗生素,讓動物長大得更快。這會導致抗生素耐藥性的問題。隨後,治療抗生素耐藥的食源性疾病將會變得更困難。
化學和細菌污染是飲食方面所需要關注的問題,而有機食品能減輕這種污染帶來的問題。

對父母和監護人的重要提醒

  • 世界衛生組織建議母乳喂養對寶寶最適合。
  • 平衡飲食,同時母乳喂養也很重要 嬰兒配方奶粉應該只在你徵求醫生或健康醫生的建議之後才餵養。
  • 不採用母乳喂養的決定很難逆轉,而且引入部分奶瓶餵養可能會減少母乳的供應。考慮嬰兒配方奶粉也是明智的。
  • 如果選用嬰兒配方奶粉餵養,所有準備和餵養指示必須遵循品牌的指示。這對寶寶的健康很重要
