I stopped eating meat a while back, and have felt much healthier every since, but recently, after my blood type was analyzed by a holistic doctor, I was told to slowly factor in some meat to my diet. I have been reluctant to do so, but this post gives me some extra information that just might make all the difference. Maybe a little talk with my local butcher is the next step.

I need to find out more about it. I have asked about grass fed beef a few times locally, but even the packages labeled organic don't say anything about it. I found one local beef producer who claims his animals are grass fed, but he gives them grain for the last few days or weeks, I can't remember which. He said this is routinely done to grass fed cattle to "finish them off" and make the meat marbled. I don't know for sure, but in my mind this makes the beef not grass fed. You make great points, Jen.

Too many animals are not organic and safe or are safe but not organic or are grain fed instead of grass fed, etc...it's difficult to find unaltered, healthy choices now a days.

Is the wood certification for sustainable harvesting? The organization in Canada I linked to is The Canadian Coalition for Farm Animals (CCFA). Glad the SPCA in Canada is trying to get certification labels. I just hope that there becomes a standard of sorts and not a whole bunch of different organizations doing different types of certification. With organic food, there are a few main certifications. But there are also others that sometimes are sponsored by the very same people they are certifying. I read your latest post about the child and the wolf. It is very interesting with lots of good information, but the basic story is still so hard to believe. If even partly true, it is certainly amazing! Hi Sky!

Did you know, there is also a similar certification for buying wood? YUP...I am glad that there is finally something like this, *although it needs to develop more and expand* to give people the CHOICE to choose with awareness, and ethics, and thought. If anyone has ever been to some of these places that raise animals for your table, they would turn tail and start SCREAMING. Excellent post. I know the SPCA up in Canada is actually working on *certification labels* Metta. sky http://awolfadventure.blogspot.com Namaste’ Will I just love reading some of the things you post!

That goes to something I have talked about a lot. Regardless of the different food choices people make for themselves and families, we are all entitled to know about what we are eating.

I never knew about these ethical labels. In fact, I never even considered the possibility of such a thing. But after reading your post - I do now! Even as old as I am, and the fact that my uncle was a big hunting fan, I never really felt comfortable eating meat - especially from animals that had been so badly treated. So after I grew up and read about such things, I altered my eating preferences. But the labels, I knew nothing about. Keep up the good work. Have a nice day. Will:
