When it comes to organic foods, I have always understood the theory behind eating organic produce. If they spray chemicals on fruits and vegetables, then it makes sense that we might be exposed to those same chemicals if we don’t wash the produce properly. And even then, it also stands to reason that some chemicals may not wash off completely. But when it came to organic meat, I just didn’t get it. I mean, they don’t spray a cow, and even if they did, what would it matter? We don’t eat the skin of a cow.
Apparently, animals raised for natural beef are not fed antibiotics or growth hormones. In fact, they are raised in a much healthier environment and fed with organic feed and nutrients.
In addition, animals raised for organic meat are treated in a more humane way. They are not confined and spend time in the outdoors in the fresh air.
The manure produced by organically raised animals is used for farming. Mass producing industrial farms produce so much manure that it can spill over and contaminate wells spreading diseases such as E. coli and other pathogens.
All in all, I can better understand the reasoning behind organic meat and I support it, however, I still prefer produce.
I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog for an natural beef
company and was compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.
