有機較健康

近年來健康意識抬頭，許多民眾願意多花一點錢，購買價格通常較高的有機食品。不過美國最新研究發現，並沒有證據顯示，有機食品比較健康或營養。

美國史丹佛大學的研究團隊，日前發布研究報告指出，民眾購買有機食品，若是基於健康因素，其實大可不必。

雖然有機蔬果受到殺蟲劑污染的機率比較低，不過這項研究發現，沒必要因此購買有機蔬果。

[[史丹佛大學資深研究員 布拉薇塔]] 
“我們發現 有機產品被殺蟲劑污染的風險 比傳統蔬果低了30% 不過傳統蔬果的殺蟲劑殘留量 也都低於國家安全標準”

而有人認為有機產品比較營養，但研究發現未必如此。

[[史丹佛大學資深研究員 布拉薇塔]] 
“其實我們發現的唯一顯著差異是 和傳統同類產品相比 有機雞肉和牛奶的某些 Omega-3脂肪酸含量比較高 不過有數項研究指出 樣品採集季節和牛奶品牌 對脂肪酸含量的影響程度 可能和有機培育的一樣高”

布拉薇塔表示，雖然她參與的研究發現，有機食品未必比較健康，但有機食品還是有其他好處。

Stanford University research doesn’t find organic food more nutritious (2013/06/10)

Growing health consciousness in recent years has led many people to spend a little more on organic food. A new study in the United States has found, however, that there is no evidence that organic food provides more health benefits. 

A research team from Stanford University has found that people who buy organic food expecting it to be beneficial to their health may be wasting their money. 

Some consumers, for example, purchase organically grown fruit and vegetables to avoid exposure to pesticides. But the study found that such purchases may be needlessly cautious.

清標拒政治

會計法修正草案急轉彎，正在服刑的前立委顏清標透過兒子顏寬恆轉述，對於修正草案被稱為「顏清標條款」，他心有不甘，但是對因此無法除罪的其他相關人士，感到很抱歉，還說服完刑，不會再碰政治。

會計法修正草案，讓用公款喝花酒的顏清標受益，被稱為「顏清標條款」，引發輿論撻伐，現在即將重回原點，顏清標之子國民黨立委顏寬恆探視正在台中監獄服刑的父親後，轉述父親的看法。

[[立委(國) 顏寬恆]]
“外界矚目都在顏清標，導致這個修法到後來沒有通過，他個人覺得非常抱歉，他也一再強調，這不是顏清標條款”

除了向因為他無法除罪的其他人感到抱歉，顏清標也決定不再碰政治。

[[無黨團結聯盟主席 林炳坤]]
“他從此以後，不再涉入政治，也不參與選舉，他希望他要做一輩子的，媽祖的義工”

顏清標希望，為消弭會計法因人而修的爭議，能待他服刑完畢後再修。

Jailed official regrets becoming face of controversial amendment (2013/06/10)

If as expected the Legislature reconsiders and voids the Accounting Act amendment, it will mean that a prominent official jailed for corruption will have to continue serving his sentence. Former KMT Legislator Yen Ching-piao has become the face of the amendment because many observers feel it was passed in haste to get him out of jail. Through his son Yen expressed regret at this perception. 

Yen Ching-piao was to become one of the biggest beneficiaries of the new amendment. It would have eliminated his sentence for using public funds to frequent hostess bars. Media reports are even referring to the amendment as the “Yen Ching-piao article.”

After a trip to Taichung Prison, Yen’s son passed on his father’s thoughts.

政院送覆議

行政院長江宜樺，上午召集各部會首長，舉行臨時院會，通過會計法修正案覆議，立法院朝野各黨團，口徑一致表態支持，朝野協商的結果，周四下午開會處理覆議案。 

早上八點多，行政院長江宜樺，副院長毛治國等各部會首長，陸續進入行政院，處理會計法修正案覆議，二十分鐘就有結果。

[[行政院發言人 鄭麗文]]
“本次立法院修正通過會計法第99之1條文，有窒礙難行之處，為符平等及明確原則，呈請總統核可後，移請立法院覆議。

臨時院會順利通過覆議，行政院也決定成立跨部會小組，研究修法的內容與方向。

同樣是禍首的立法院，也動起來，召開朝野協商。

[[國民黨政策會執行長 林鴻池]]
“體察社會各方面的意見，應該各個黨團會同意行政院的覆議，讓會計法99條之一的修正案，回歸到原點”

兩個小時的朝野協商後，立法院長王金平宣布決定處理覆議案的時程。

[[立法院長 王金平]]
“星期四早上十點半，召開所謂臨時會的談話會，之後十二點鐘召開程序委員會，兩點召開院會，開始處理行政院的覆議案”

爭議不斷的會計法修正案，由於民意代表等人員不當使用公款的除罪化，以及修法時，法條漏字的疏誤等，即將在這次覆議案進行記名表決。

KMT caucus whip Lin Hung-chih says he expects all party caucuses to agree to reconsider and void part of a controversial amendment to the Accounting Act. Earlier on Monday the Cabinet officially requested the reconsideration. 

Early Monday morning Premier Jiang Yi-huah, Deputy Premier Mao Chi-kuo and other ministry and department chiefs arrived for an ad hoc Cabinet meeting. Within 20 minutes they achieved their purpose: endorsing a proposal for the Legislature to reconsider its amendment to the Accounting Act.

Cheng Li-wun
Cabinet Spokeswoman
There are obstacles that make it difficult to implement the revisions approved by the Legislature to Article 99-1 of the Accounting Act. For fairness and clarity, after gaining the approval of the president, we have decided to send the amendment back to the Legislature for reconsideration.
