for organic, or free-range, unmedicated meats. It is ultimately the consumer demand that is paving the way for a more sustainable food system. As is demonstrated in countless studies, articles and movies like Food Inc., the feedlot model is not a sustainable or healthy option for the planet, the animals or the humans who eat them. The certified organic sticker provides a helpful shortcut to consumers, guaranteeing that those products have been raised naturally. But when those stickers are not available, we still have the power to make choices that can have a positive impact on our health and the long-term health of our environment. By asking how the meat you eat was raised, and by considering how it got to your plate, you are “rectifying the names” and participating in an important shift towards progress. The bonus is that progress tastes great.
