15.OrganicFood

OrganicfarmingwasamongthefastestgrowingsegmentsofU.S.agricultureduringthe1990s.Thevalueofretailsalesoforganicfoodwasestimatedtobe$16billionin2004.AccordingtotheFoodMarketingInstitute,morethanhalfofAmericansnowbuyorganicfoodatleastonceamonth.Whyisorganicfoodbecomingsopopular?

WhatisOrganicFood?

InDecember2000,theNationalOrganicStandardsBoardoftheU.S.DepartmentofAgriculture(USDA)establishedanationalstandardfortheterm"organic".Organicfood,definedbyhowitcannotbemaderatherthanhowitcanbemade,mustbeproducedwithouttheuseofsewer-sludgefertilizers,mostsyntheticfertilizersandpesticides,geneticengineering(biotechnology),growthhormones,irradiationandantibiotics.Avarietyofagriculturalproductscanbeproducedorganically,includingproduce,grains,meat,dairy,eggs,andprocessedfoodproducts.

"Organic"doesnotmean"natural".Thereisnolegaldefinitionastowhatconstitutesa"natural"food.However,thefoodindustryusestheterm"natural"toindicatethatafoodhasbeenminimallyprocessedandispreservative-free.Naturalfoodscanincludeorganicfoods,butnotallnaturalfoodsareorganic.Onlyfoodslabeled"organic"havebeencertifiedasmeetingUSDAorganicstandards.

OrganicFarming

Thephrase"organicfarming"firstappearedinLordNorthbourne'sbookLooktotheLand,publishedin1940.

Butthetruthis,organicfarmingistheoldestform.ofagriculture.Be-foretheendofWorldWarⅡ,farmingwithouttheuseofpetroleum-basedchemicals(syntheticfertilizersandpesticides)wastheonlyoptionforfarmers,Technologiesdevelopedduringthewarwerefoundtobeusefulforagriculturalproduction.Forexample,thechemicalammoniumnitrate(硝酸銨),whichwasusedasmunitions(軍需品),becameusefulasfertilizer,andorganophosphates(有機(jī)磷酸鹽)usedfornervegaswerelaterusedasinsecticide.

Thesedays,farmersareswitchingtoorganicagricultureonceagain,butnow'withaneco-logicallybased,systematicapproachthatincludeslong-termplanning,detailedrecordkeepingandmajorinvestmentinequipmentandsupplies.Althoughitisstillonlyasmallindustry,thenumberoforganicfarmersisgrowingbyabout12percentperyearandnowstandsatmorethan12,000nationwide.

Weassumedthatstudentswere"educatedaboutprofessionalconductonlineandusedbetterjudgment."Butmedicalstudents,itseems,arenodifferentfromtherestofuswhenitcomestopostingdrunkenpartypicturesonlineortweetingabouttheirdailycomings,goingsandmusings—howeverinappropriatetheymaybe.Manystudentsfeeltheyareentitledtopostwhattheywishontheirpersonalprofiles,maintainingthattheinformationisinfactpersonalandnotsubjecttothesamepoliciesandguidelinesthatgoverntheirprofessionalbehavior.oncampus.Thoughmedicalstudentswouldagreethatphysicians—andotherprofessionals,liketeachers—shouldbeheldtoahigherstandardofintegritybysociety,thenewstudysuggeststhatthey'reconfusedbyhowrulesapply,especiallyincyberspace,oncethewhitecoatcomesoff."Theythinkit'ssomethingonlyfortheirfriends,eventhoughit'snotprivate."saysDr.NeilParker,seniorassociatedeanforstudentaffairsforgraduatemedicaleducationatUCLA'sDavidGeffenSchoolofMedicine.

Thatattitudeislargelydictatedbyage,saysParker.Infocusgroupsinvolvingstudents,faculty,administratorsandstaff,theschoolhasfoundacleargenerationaldividebetweenthosewhotendtoblurthelinebetweentheirpersonalandprofessionallivesandthosewhodon't.Youngerstudentsweremorelikelythanolderstaffmemberstobelievethattheirthoughtsandopinionswerevalidtopostonline,regardlessoftheirpotentiallydamagingordiscriminatoryimpactonothers.

Theissueisespeciallyrelevantwhenitcomestodiscussingpatientcases.Lawsprohibitdoctorsfromtalkingaboutpatientsusingindividuallyidentifiableinformation.However,asParkernotes,sharingpatientcareexperiencescanbeausefulandpowerfullearningtoolformedicalstudentsthatencourages"reflection,empathyandunderstanding,"hewritesinthepaper.Althoughdiscussingtheirexperiencesonlinemaybeallowed,studentsmustbemadeawarethatidentifyinginformationisnotlimitedtopatients'namesandthatdivulgingothercharacteristicsanddetailsoftenviolatespatient-privacylaws.
