It gets so involved and there are so many individual reasons that are product specific. I decided to break up the analysis into several shorter articles that hopefully will be posted soon. By the way - Is the music site linked to your name your own site? I looked around a bit and liked it a lot. I'll be back. -Will Hi Paulette - The price of organics is something I have tried to write in-depth on a few times.

I appreciate organic foods because those were safe. I cant blame the producers for the high cost of these products. I recognize the what organic gives.

I would hope so since if other people are like me, when a live turkey arrived, it would become a pet, not dinner. I prefer the turkey farm to do the dirty deed! The healthy turkeys really do taste better. And, they are becoming much more available frozen. I bought two more frozen to have handy for the next few weeks. -Will That’s a good one, Anna! :-) I am pretty sure they ship without feathers!

This line got my attention: 'SOLD OUT FOR THANKSGIVING.Order for Christmas now, additional turkeys will be processed in December for Christmas delivery', may be they should say 'additional will be grown for December for Christmas delivery...' - just playing on words, lol, the processed kind of stood out. BTW I felt bad for those turkeys grown very close to each other, as per your earlier post. Not lol.

But I have seen an interview with a family run large organic turkey farm in the South somewhere. They indicated that they actually have a much lower mortality rate than the large industrial farms even without using antibiotics. It was really quite impressive all the steps they took to make sure the birds had a healthy environment. They said that there were two main reasons. Each chick costs quite a bit to get started so they don't want to lose even one. And they have to worry that if a few birds get sick, depending on the disease, it can go through the flock quickly. So they maintain a clean environment and a close eye on the birds. That is what I thought too and that is a similar factor in growing organic produce without pesticides.
