what exactly is organic?

so that means meat can be organic right? just making sure, cause i whached this document called food inc, and it made me want to eat organic, but i don’t know what compony sells organic meat.

not really because organic is referenced normally towards vegetables. meat is never organic because sometimes its treated with chemicals or preservatives to help keep it fresh or make it taste a certain way, in enough cases while the animal is still alive

It means that it has been grown or raised naturally, with no pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones, anti-biotics etc.

Organic meat is free range so the animals are allowed out of the barn and treated more humanely. They are not injected with horrible growth hormones etc.

yess, there are meats that are organic. you can get them at farmers’ markets, or some supermarkets will have organic food…and they’ll supply other sources of sustainably grown food, where you can buy produce, grass-fed meats, and other stuff. you’ll have to check around where you live, though, for these places.

how would i do that, the place i live doesn’t have farmers markets. is there a site i can check or would reesors or walmart sell organic meat? i think one of my friends told me that stoney field was organic meat or somthing like that.

Actually, none of the answers so far are correct. Organic means something contains the elements carbon and hydrogen. Yes, organic FOOD is grown under the conditions already mentioned, but organic itself is simply containing these two elements. There is a common misconception that organic means healthy or environmentally friendly. This is not necessarily the case. Many organic substances are actually very harmful, more so in many cases than inorganic substances. Persistent organic polutants for example, are resistent to degradation and can cause significant health problems.

no chemicals , hormones, or perservatives are added.freshly grown .

Natural. No chemicals, no nothing of that stuff that harms our health.
