What’s the difference between organic meat and grass-fed meat?

It's possible to find a wide variety of labels, and costs, in the supermarket's meat section. The "healthier" qualities of grass-fed and organic products are often cited, but what, exactly, makes them so?

How to spot the difference?

As a first step, think about what the cattle whose meat you will eat were fed and how they were treated. Not only do animals on factory farms suffer from substandard living circumstances, but they are also at increased risk for contracting infectious diseases due to the antibiotics that are routinely poured into their food in order to promote weight gain. Some of these farms also contribute to global warming by polluting the environment with harmful chemicals and fertilizers. Better for you, the environment, and the animals, grass-fed meat is an alternative to the industrial farming practices that produce most of the world's livestock.

 Grass-fed meat benefits

Check for American Grassfed Association labels when purchasing meat (AGA). In this way, we are able to guarantee:

●Only grass pastures are used in the raising of certified animals.

●Instead of being confined in small cages, the animals are given ample freedom to graze.

●All AGA-approved meats are assured to be antibiotic and hormone free.

●Every one of these animals was born and nurtured in the United States, on small family farms.

Organic meat benefits

USDA organic meats are a good second choice to AGA. The USDA's criteria aren't as stringent as AGA's, but they're still far higher than those for conventional meat, and the price is around the same.

●Organic meats are fed a combination of grains (such as corn) and grass while the animals are grazing outside.

●Methods of Care According to USDA regulations, livestock must be kept in a manner that "accommodates their normal activities," which includes preventing them from being confined for extended periods of time.

●Organic meats never use hormones or antibiotics that could harm animals.

●Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs): To receive organic certification, livestock must be fed only organic feed and pasture, free of any GMOs or synthetic components.
