		<description>Abbie, the way that you and your family obtain sources of meat appeals to me since you know exactly how the animals you are eating are treated and what kind of chemicals they are exposed to.  Another friend who is interested in sustainable and healthful living suggested that our family purchase dairy and meat from a local farmer who uses organic practices though may not be a certified organic farmer ( I learned this summer from many of the local farmers that many of them plant and care for their farms with organic practices but are waiting to become certified).

As you point out though, the "organic" label may mean little comparatively, although the label depends on the integrity of the organization who certifies the seal.</description>

		<description>You and I have had many email conversations on this topic.  And you know that I completely respect your choice to be a vegetarian, and it is something that I have considered.  However, it is just not for me.

You do a good job explaining these terms.  However, I grow more and more doubtful of the labels.  The industry is so huge that it's hard to regulate, and while I understand the merits of organic meats, they are so expensive.  Most of that is due to all of the regulations that one must follow to raise the animals. 

I strongly believe that animals should be treated with respect, and I feel that none of these labels are guarantees that they have been respected.  I am moving more and more towards getting meat only from people that I know and trust.  My in-laws are raising pigs and we are getting 1/4 of a cow from my husband's cousin who has a beef farm.  We also eat wild animals, both animals that my husband hunts and fish that we catch.  The only meat that I have trouble finding is chicken, so I buy antibiotic and hormone free chicken.  Ideally, I would like to find a farm close to me that raises chickens for meat.  I also see the value in using as much of one animal as we can before killing another.  There is no reason to be so wasteful as to only eat one cut of meat.  For example, buying a whole chicken instead of a few packages of boneless, skinless breasts.  I'm also learning to cook more vegetarian meals that my family will enjoy so that I feel empowered and have the option to skip meat when the standards I have set are not available.

I am extremely happy about these choices that I have made for my family, and these educated decisions mean so much more to me than the label "organic." Seeing the animals and how they live is the only way for me to know that they're acceptable to eat.</description>
