Organic should mean organic right? Well theoretically yet, but there seems to be major discrepancies on the labels of supposed organic meat.
The appeal of organic foods is that it is completely natural, no pesticides or contaminants have been within 100 foot of it and we can feed it to our family in the safe knowledge that we are giving them the best that our plant has to offer.
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.
The fish is a very strange one. The USDA has decreed that any wild fish can be labeled and sold as organic. But there is often mercury and other harmful contaminants present in the fish.
Surely, if an animal is farmed to produce organic meat, there should be some kind of guidelines regarding the conditions the animals live in and their general welfare.
The types of food fed to these animals obviously is very strictly regulated, so we are guaranteed to be eating meat as it should be, without loads of stuff like hormones and chemicals. But personally, I think the living conditions are important too.
If your only choice available is organic or non organic, go for the former every time. However, you will see an increasing number of other labels appearing from other organisations. The RSPCA will put its name to meat that it knows has been looked after well during its short life. A biodynamic meat is a step above organic too, so watch out for those too
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.
