Ke kūʻai ʻoe i ka meaʻai, makemake ʻoe e ʻike i kahi e hele mai ai, ʻeā? Noʻonoʻo nui ʻo Whole Foods-ʻo ia ke kumu i hoʻokumu ai lākou i kā lākou papahana ulu ulu, hāʻawi i ka ʻike i nā loina i nā loina a me nā hana e hele nei ma nā mahiʻai a lākou e kūʻai mai ai, i ka hāʻule hope loa.

"Nīnau aku ʻo Grownown Grown i nā mea hoʻolako e pane i nā nīnau he 41 e pili ana i nā hana e ulu ana ma nā kumuhana e like me ka mālama ʻana i ka pest, ke olakino o ka lepo, ka mālama wai ʻana a me ka pale ʻana, ka ikehu, nā ʻōpala, ka pono o nā limahana mahiʻai, a me nā meaola like ʻole," i wehewehe ai ʻo Matt Rogers, ka mea hoʻomalu huahana no ka Whole Foods. Pono kēlā me kēia nīnau i kekahi helu helu, a ma muli o kēia helu ʻana, hāʻawi ʻia ka pāʻina i ka helu "maikaʻi," "ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi," a i ʻole "maikaʻi", a laila e ʻike ʻia ma kahi hōʻailona ma ka hale kūʻai.

Me he mea lā he ala maikaʻi kēia e hoʻolālā ai i ka poʻe kūʻai aku, akā ʻaʻole hauʻoli kekahi poʻe mahiʻai no ia mea. No ka mea-ʻoiai ua mālama ʻia ke kūlana ʻokanika ma ke ʻano he pae hoʻohālikelike o ka hana maikaʻi a me kahi mahiʻai maikaʻi-ʻo kekahi mau mea ulu i lele i waena o nā keʻena ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa (USDA) e helu i ka sila kūleʻa kūleʻa ʻole i hoʻonui ʻia ma mua o he mahiʻai non-organic i hiki ke hoʻoikaika i ke olakino o ko lākou lepo a me ka mālama ʻana i ka ikehu.

Pehea e hiki ai kēia? ʻĀ, ʻo ke kūlohelohe wale nō ekahi o nā kumu e noʻonoʻo ai ka papahana Responsibly Grown. Nānā ʻia nō hoʻi i nā pilikia mahiʻai koʻikoʻi e pili ana i ke olakino a me ke olakino, a me ka pahuhopu e uku i kēlā me kēia mea ulu e hana i nā hana nui e hoʻoponopono ai i kēlā mau pilikia, i ʻōlelo ʻo Rogers. ʻO ka manaʻo o ka poʻe mahiʻai: "Hoʻonohonoho kuleana ʻia nā meaola, no ka pono," i haʻi aku ka mea kanu hua Kaleponi ʻo Vernon Peterson iā NPR. A he mea nui e hoʻomaopopo i ka ʻaelike ʻana o Whole Foods me kēlā manaʻo: "Ma ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻaʻohe mea e pani ʻia no ka sila maoli a me nā kūlana e hōʻike ana," wahi a Rogers. Ua hoʻolālā ʻia ka ʻōnaehana loiloi ulu pono e hāʻawi i kahi papa hou o ka transparency ma nā huahana huahana, hoʻohui ʻo ia.

ʻO ia ke kumu e hōʻike ai i nā hōʻailona i kēia manawa i ka helu helu o ka mahiʻai a me ka huaʻōlelo "organic" ke pili. (ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka meaʻai meaola na ʻoe? He ʻoi aku ka nui o nā antioxidant a me nā pesticides liʻiliʻi.)

ʻOiai ke aloha nui nei mākou i ka poʻe mahiʻai e ʻike ʻia nei e hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻia, hoʻowahāwahā paha lākou i ka mea kūʻai aku ʻo Whole Foods. Mālama ka mākeke i kā lākou huahana a pau i nā kūlana kiʻekiʻe, a ua manaʻo mua nā mea kūʻai aku he maikaʻi loa nā huahana i loko o ka hale kūʻai. ʻO kā mākou lawe ʻana: ʻOiai ʻoe e noʻonoʻo i ka meaʻai a i ʻole ka meaʻai, he mea nui (a ʻoluʻolu!) e ʻike i nā hana hou a nā mahiʻai āpau e hana ai i ka ulu ʻana i kāu meaʻai i ke ala maikaʻi.
