Monica要幫媽媽買菜準備招待客人，購物清單裏包括了有機食品，Monica從媽媽那裏了解到什麼是有機食品。
Monica： Hey Mom， I’m heading to the store. Do you want anything？
Mom： Sure， I could use a few things. Could you pick me up a couple carrots， a bag of potatoes， some green onions…
Monica： Whoa whoa whoa， hold your horses there Mom！ Let me get some paper.
Mom： Sorry. I guess I need more than just a few things.
Monica： No kidding！ Alright. Paper， pen， and…go！
Mom： Okay， the carrots， potatoes， and green onions like I said. Then， about three or four sweet peppers， roughly half a kilo of chicken wings， a few heads of garlic， and two or three 1）eggplants.
Monica： Jeeze Louise Mom， are you feeding an army here？
Mom： You could say that. Your grandma’s in town this weekend， so the whole family’s going to be at ours for dinner on Sunday.
Monica： Awesome！ ①I haven’t seen Gran in a coon’s age. I’ll give you a hand with cooking if you need.
Mom： It would be great if you 2）pitched in. Thanks！
Monica： No problem， Mom. Anyway， ②I’m off.
Mom： Okay， see you…oh Monica， wait！
Monica： Yup？
Mom： Make sure you buy organic. If you can’t find organic， give me a call and we’ll change the game plan.
Monica： Is it really that important？
Mom： Definitely.
Monica： You know， I don’t even know what that is： organic. What does that actually mean？
Mom： ③At the root， it basically just means that no chemicals were used in the process of growing this thing you’re about to stuff your face with.
Monica： Chemicals？ What chemicals？
Mom： Oh like fertilizers and 3）pesticides for crops or growth 4）hormones and 5）antibiotics for livestock.
Monica： But don’t they kind of need that stuff？ I mean， what if the cows get sick？ It’s just： too bad， so sad—see you later Betsy？ That seems a little harsh.
