We need to make informed decisions about these choices. We know that people who maintain vegetarian diets are healthier with lower risks of heart disease and cancer. We know that fruits and vegetables are loaded with protective antioxidants to fight disease. This is a decision every family and person must struggle with, but it seems that moderation is important when it comes to meat. Organic milk and other dairy products are more available now.
Organic milk is found in many large-chain supermarkets.
The US Department of Agriculture recently ruled that meat and poultry may seek organic certification. To fulfill organic requirements, these meats will have no antibiotics or growth hormones and the animals will be fed 100 percent organic feed.
