The Facts Regarding Organic Meats

Organic should mean organic right? Well theoretically yet, but there seems to be major discrepancies on the labels of supposed organic meat.

The whole point of organic produce is that you are eating natural food as nature intended; no additives or pesticides and farmed by trainer farmers who know their stuff. You should be able to buy this and feed it to your loved ones with a completely clear conscience.

That is certainly the case with organic vegetables, but the world seems to be looking at how organic meat is produced with rose tinted glasses.

I would certainly have to think twice about paying extra for organic fish. Even though the USDA reckons that all wild fish is organic, what if that fish has chemicals such as mercury in its flesh?

The official regulations regarding the welfare and living condition of the animals that organic meat comes from also seems open to debate.

Yes, we all grateful that the guidelines for their feed is so strict. It is very reassuring that we aren’t consuming their antibiotics, or hormones etc but I personally want to know about their living conditions.

So what can we, as the consumers, do about it? Well overall, organic is a better choice than non organic. There are better options however. You can look for meat that has labels on saying it has been approved by the RSPCA and other such bodies which have thoroughly checked out the welfare of the animals prior to slaughter.

There are two blatant changes that need to me made immediately. Grey area such as the fish carry on need sorting out and proper regulations put in place. Secondly, there need s to be proper directive released so that we are all clear exactly what the term organic means, and this well greatly affect what we buy.
