Amen. I try to eat organic meat here from farmers I know personally/can visit. Meat tastes great, fresh, and I can see for myself how ethically the cows are raised & fed. Don't want none of that spongiform encephalopathy.

Ever seen Portlandia? Just watch the pilot. That is now how we all picture dal.

Well that's good. What's your reasoning for eating organic? Not trying to attack, just curious.

Tastes good, know the farmers, no hormones & antibiotics, and I like that they eat organic feed. I don't trust intense artificial fertilization & chemical spray even though the evidence for its effects aren't conclusive. It's a win win win for me.

Well I don't agree with you, but more power to Ya.

And I would say the results are pretty conclusive on synthetic fert and chemicals, but I mean, what would I know?
 
Fwiw, I'd bet 95% of what's labeled organic isn't truly organic. Tons of fraud/corruption going on there. Great marketing and money maker though. Organic farms can make bank.

That's why it's nice when you can literally walk the grounds on the pastures that the animals you're eating are actually feeding on. Local or bust. It's the big conglomerates like Earthbound Organic that beget more suspicion that the local ones IMO.

Oh I agree. But honestly, unless you're there all the time, there's no way you're gonna know. You don't know what or where their fertilizer is/came from. Same for their seed and feed. We've had people (that we no longer sell to bc of this) that would buy our seed and then grow and market them as organic. Local growers. Like I said, not difficult to get around.

I suppose not-- but that's why it's important to try to build these relationships with the farmers, and try to have that trust into account. While you seem to think that the industry is "95% corrupt", anecdotally, I'm pretty comfortable with my decision, and I consider myself in really good health in many facets of life.

But seriously I respect wanting to know where your food is sourced from. There is a pork breed that is considered the cadillac of pork and it costs quite a bit more and you can only get it from certain farmers in certain states, but it really is a step above the rest. What your food eats matters.




If you are curious it is a type of Berkshire, known sometimes by the name korubuta. Almost like the kobe beef of the pork world. It really does make a difference.


Ok had to add, the one I really want to to try is the Mangalitsa. They are not very common and supposedly the top of the pork food pyramid. Tough to find though, and really expensive.
 
Oh I totally get wanting to know where your food is from, it's a great idea.

What ticks me off, and just to clarify, I'm not accusing Dala of this, but it really bothers me when people spread this false perception that commercial farmers are growing unhealthy foods, using unsustainable practices and all that garbage.

You can tell they're all idiots when they buy GMO free bread. Seriously, that one is my favorite.
