This adorable video is brought to you by The Cooks Den. In trying to evaluate whether organic veggies and fruits actually taste better, they decided to try an unbiased judge -Hammy the Hamster. How semi-scientific of them.
The results seemed to show that the little girl preferred organic veggies in five out of the six foods tested.

I'll have to try this out with my two pigs next time their out for "floor time" and see what happens. Although, they do seem to like the organic lettuces better then the regular ones. It'll be interesting to test out carrots, bananas etc.
I'm sure if the camera were to keep roling, he'd go for the other one as well.
This isn't really an indicator of how the food tastes, but rather how the food smells (although the two are closely linked). I think they'd have to do a lot more testing with different testees (I had to say that somehow) to get more definitive results.
