 ¡@¡@As the alarm about food safety is again raised, you may find yourself worrying even more as you prepare food for your family and children. There have been many food safety scares over the last few years. Pork infected with the Streptococcus suis bacteria, fish contaminated with malachite green and, more recently, excessive levels of pesticide in fruit and vegetables, which pose a variety of serious risks to human health and to our environment. We understand that it is now more important than ever to safeguard the safety of our food and it is a consumer's basic right to have confidence that their food is safe. Greenpeace not only closely monitors food safety, but we also aim to promote safe, healthy and environmentally friendly alternatives to reduce the risks. Organic food is one such safe, healthy and environmentally alternative. If you didn't try it already, we are now offering you the opportunity!
Let¡¦s go organic!
 ¡@¡@Organic food is grown in a much more natural environment and takes longer to grow, so it has a richer and fresher taste, as well as a better texture. Also, since the use of artificial chemical fertilisers and pesticides is prohibited in organic farming, along with genetically engineered (GE) produce being prohibited, it makes organic food safer and healthier to eat.
¡@¡@More research reveals that organic food contains higher levels of essential minerals, vitamin C, as well as antioxidants, which are beneficial for everyone¡¦s health. Moreover, organic farming emphasises soil conservation and natural compatibility in order to increase yield and insect resistance. Organic farming is sustainable and the best choice for the environment.
The May Festival of Fine Organic Food
 ¡@¡@Organic food is THE choice for health, safety and environmental protection, which is why we strongly recommend that everyone try organic food.
Following the Farmer¡¦s Market last year, through which we aimed to promote organic farming and an organic lifestyle, we are now organising the May Festival of Fine Organic Food in association with 4 organic restaurants ¡V Life Cafe, Fruit Stop, Munch and Soland. From now on, whenever you want to eat out with friends, there will be more tasty, healthy and environmental friendly choices.
¡§Greenpeace Special¡¨ Set
¡@¡@Life Cafe, Fruit Stop and Munch have designed the delicious and unique ¡§Greenpeace Special¡¨ Sets for Greenpeace during the designated promotional period.
For every order of these special sets and a la carte menu from Soland, 10% of the sales will be donated to Greenpeace to support our work on food safety and organic food promotion. Your support means a lot to us!
