Organic livestock may have had the run of the farm and eaten pesticide-free grain, but that doesn’t mean they won’t come to slaughter loaded with bacteria. Just like conventional chickens, organic birds can harbor salmonella, E. coli and campylobacter. These can cause anything from a mild intestinal illness to a life-threatening infection. To avoid that, organic chickens (or any organic meat) should be handled the same as a regular product — observing cleanliness rules in the kitchen and making sure they are cooked to the proper temperature: 180 degrees for poultry, 160 degrees for beef. It’e all set up to make more money as everything else in the World.

Organic foods have never been shown to be healthier, more nutritious or more safe than conventional foods,” said Avery, “despite dozens of scientific studies. There is no weight that organic is better or healthier for you.”

Avery’s institute is funded in part by companies that profit from the sale of pesticides, such as Monsanto, DowElanco and Ag-Chem Equipment Company.
Avery said some organics can make you sicker than conventional food.
Because organic foods use pathogen-laden manure as their primary fertilizer, organic foods may pose a higher risk of foodborne-illness than conventional foods,” he said, adding that damage from pests is likely to be greater, as well, and that could translate to more fungal growth, or colonization by molds. Some of these organisms produce toxins. One of them, aflatoxin, is considered highly carcinogenic.

Whatever there’s no significant difference between organic & coventional foods….I mean really it’s all a big trend to make more money as everything else in this world. You are not guaranteed to live any longer with organic than you are with conventional foods. This is a joke especially if you so called eating organic then take your stupid self out to Applebees or etc to eat….NOW WHAT?

Organic food can definitely be healthier… especially if the alternative uses pesticides that get into the food and those chemicals can get into our bodies…

While buying organically raised beef eliminates the chemical toxins associated with raising animals on genetically modified corn, livestock raised on organic corn still produces beef that’s nutritionally inferior to grass-fed beef, which is lower in saturated fat and higher in healthy fats and vitamins.

When you eat meat, eggs, and dairy products from animals raised on pasture you are improving the welfare of the animals, helping end environmental degradation, helping small-scale ranchers and farmers make a living from the land, helping sustain rural communities, and giving your family the healthiest possible food.
