.jpg) By purchasing and consuming organic meat, you will be providing yourself and your family with the healthiest meat and poultry products possible. You will also contribute to the ethical treatment of animals, as well as support farming practices that are environmentally friendly.
Organic meat products are healthier than conventional meat products because they do not contain hormones, growth enhancers or antibiotics. Conventional meat and poultry contains chemicals that can cause cancer, and the grass that the animals feed upon is fertilized with chemicals and sprayed with anti-weed chemicals. |

Meat is an excellent source of protein, as well as minerals and vitamins, such as iron, niacin, vitamin B6, phosphorus, vitamin B12 and zinc. The FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) allows stores to label beef as lean when it contains less than 4.5 grams of saturated fat, 10 grams of total fat, and up to 95 milligrams of cholesterol in a three ounce serving. Beef is deemed extra lean when it contains less than 5 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, and up to 95 milligrams of cholesterol per serving. |

 High cholesterol! You know, that yellowish material in your arteries that narrows your blood vessels. Who wants it? No one. Who has it? More of us than you would think. 48% of American adults, above the age of 20, have high cholesterol levels (200 mg/dL and over). As your blood cholesterol rises, so does your risk of coronary heart disease. If you have other risk factors (such as high blood pressure or diabetes) as well as high cholesterol, this risk increases even more.
