Mom: You're not going anywhere, Sam. Where's that shopping list?
Kim: I have it, Mommy. [pulls out list] Umm, we need two heads of broccoli, a bag of carrots...?
Mom:[To herself] Let's see if any of that is organic. Oh, great, it is!
Kim: Why do we buy organic, Mommy?
Mom: Organic produce is grown without pesticides or artificial fertilizers. It's better for your health, and for the environment, too!
Kim: Oh. So can I get this carton of strawberries then? They're organic and say they have vitamin C.

妈妈:山姆,你哪儿都不许去。采购单在哪?
金咪:妈咪,在我这儿。(拿出采购单)嗯,我们需要两棵花椰菜、一袋胡萝卜……
妈妈:(自言自语)我们看看这些是不是有机的。哦,太好了,是有机的!
金咪:妈咪,为什么我们要买有机的啊?
妈妈:有机农产品生长过程没有使用杀虫剂或是人工肥料。对健康比较有益,对环境也比较好!
金咪:哦,那我也可以买这一盒草莓吗?这也是有机的,上面还说含有维他命C呢。
