Just wanted to share some information about eating organic that I didn't realize. I knew that organic food is raised using little to no pesticides, no growth hormones, no antibiotics or genetic engineering. For these reasons I knew that it is better for the environment and for us to eat. I didn't realize that part of the government production and handling standards also states that animals need to have access to the outdoors and can only be confined temporarily for health and safety reasons. If you want to read the US standards check them out here. There are more and more reasons to eat organic!! And now that most grocery store chains have their own generic brand of organic it makes it easier than ever as well as more affordable for all of us. By the way, the generic organic brands have to live up to the same government set standards that the others do. I can't wait for this summer to check out the local farmer's markets. Check out this website to find some great ones near you!
