Cows, for example, are fed corn instead of grass, so for beef to be organic, the corn must be organic. Not a problem until you factor in the vast amounts of corn required to feed just one cow, then multiply that by the size of the beef industry. Growing organic works best on a small scale. Ramp it up to an industrial production method and it becomes much harder to sustain. I, personally, would choose non-organic beef from cows who grazed on a pasture over organic corn-fed "indoor" beef.Andy C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09594193387964718173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645035685408630604.post-67096830669428544742010-11-01T16:12:58.376-04:002010-11-01T16:12:58.376-04:00There's got to be a balance, where the animals...There's got to be a balance, where the animals are fed a good healthy diet, have some mobility and space for activity, kept healthy (with medicines that will not affect their flesh so that human consumption afterward still meets standards).<br />A happy medium between how animals are bred today, and organic. Just because a meat is organic does not necessarily mean it is better for the environment though better for human bellies.jennaboo84https://www.blogger.com/profile/04477384107732117372noreply@blogger.com
