Guest guest Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Good morning, Frequently you will see discussion of organic meats and produce, and how organic is not only better for you but also better for the environment. But what exactly is organic and why is it better? Please scroll down to find out. The Organic Foods Production Act finished in 2002. The act set a national standard for all organic food including organic meat and organic produce. Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future gener- ations. Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation. Before a product can be labeled " organic, " a Government- approved certifier inspects the farm where the food is grown to make sure the farmer is following all the rules necessary to meet USDA organic standards.
