Study Shows Rats Prefer Organic Food

Humans usually choose organic food to avoid the use of nasty chemicals that we don’t want anywhere near our body. Our brains know this but our taste buds often can’t tell the difference. Apparently rats can.
According to an article at The Health Freedom Alliance:
“A team of Swiss and Austrian scientists recently concluded a 21-year study of organic wheat production. As an “integrative method” for assessing quality, they gave lab animals a choice of biscuits made from organic or conventional wheat. The rats ate significantly more of the former. The authors call this result remarkable, because they found the two wheats to be very similar in chemical composition and baking performance.
In fact, the rats were better at telling the difference between organic and conventional foods than many humans have been. In the handful of carefully designed taste-offs reported in the last few years, people were often unable to identify the organic foods, and often didn’t prefer them.”
