EMF (electromagnetic field) levels, humidity levels and whether or not your food is organic.

This is incomplete........ do they even realize the battle of what defines organic.

Does it measure where the source of nutrients it receives, such as nitrogen, selenium, ect....... I didn't see anything of chemicals and such.

"This is incomplete........ do they even realize the battle of what defines organic."
