Many people hear the word 'organic' and wonder what that really means. Why are organic products so important to us? The term is more commonly associated with organic vegetables and other foods, but organic meat is also readily available if you look for it hard enough.

Typically, a person will buy their meat from a store and will look for the specials or what fits within their budget. Little consideration is given to which meat is going to be the best buy for health, energy and our animals.

So are there any real benefits in buying organic meat and if so what are they? Let's have a look at why organic meat may be a good health choice for us and our future generations.

* Organic meat is free of added hormones, antibiotics, certain types of feed and other drugs. This proves to be a benefit due to the animals being healthier and in turn healthier for us.

* Safeguarded from mad cow syndrome and other illnesses. This helps protect you and your family from illnesses that can come from eating non-organic meat.

* You know that when you are purchasing organic meat that the animals have been taken care of. There is generally a more humane, ethical treatment of the animals. It is important to know that there hasn't been cruelty to the animals as they were being raised to be our dinner.

* Animals that have had a free range and the opportunity to roam around are generally healthier. Their diet is generally well rounded and they are able to have much more time outdoors.

* As we all know, animals produce manure. This can be used either as a benefit or thought of a stinky mess. Generally - small farms (and those that take their business seriously) providing organic meat use the manure to fertilize their soil. It is more manageable at this size than it is so for large industrial farms.

* With organic meat there are fewer chemicals used on the land. This helps provide safer water, topsoil and a generally cleaner, healthier area for growing fruit and vegetables or raising healthier animals.

* The dollar you spend helps support the farm that you are buying from. The benefit of this is that the farmers are able to keep supplying high quality meat at good prices.

These are just some of the reasons why organic meat is a good choice for you & a very healthy one for your family and future generations to come. It's a fact that if your feel well, you energy levels are higher and your immune system is stronger, which helps the body to handle the impact & stress of the daily grind.

If you add a bad diet to an already stressed lifestyle it is inevitable that something has to give and generally it's your health. Knowing that the meat you're eating comes from animals that have been raised in an environment without being subject to hormone treatments and unhealthy processes means you can put your mind at ease. Eating organic meat means you and your family are that much safer and healthier in the long run.
