Apes Prefer Organic

2003 by Agence France-Presse COPENHAGEN — Jan 27, 2004 (AFP) — Monkeys at Copenhagen Zoo are going ape over organic bananas and other fruits, rejecting traditional foods left in their cages, zookeepers said Monday.

“For one reason or another, the tapirs and chimpanzees are choosing organically grown bananas over the others,” keeper Niels Melchiorsen told the magazine Oekologisk Jordbrug. “Maybe they can instinctively tell the difference between the organic and the regular fruit,” Melchiorsen reported : “If we give them organic and traditional bananas, they systematically choose the organic bananas, which they will eat with the skin on.” “But they peel the traditional bananas before eating them, “ he added. Copenhagen Zoo, which hopes to awarded a “green label” as an environmental zoo, began last year feeding its animals at least 10% organic products.
