Guest guest Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 what is the difference between " grass fed " and " pasture fed " ? do the animals actually graze grass outside at some point?? i saw organic valley has a limited edition butter that is " pasture fed " i asked the dairy dept at whole foods what this means and no one could answer me. lately, i learned that there are different meanings for labeling when it comes to eggs ie, " cage free " " vegetarian feed " " roaming " " free range " " free roaming " ohh my goodness.. i need to move to the country and get some hens, cows, goats and just do my own thing.. these labels are so misleading that it is depressing!! i learned today that although meat in whole foods is supposed to be %100 antibiotic, hormone, steroid free they reserve the right to treat the animals with these drugs when needed. i somehow can understand that. at least they aren't " pre-treating " with these drugs. as many famrs do. but still, we pay so much money and these terminologies and double speak make me think " what am i buying and what am i paying a premium price for " ??? i also learned that many 3rd world countries that raise fish don't need to adhere to US and EU laws and therefor the fish is cheaper!! some countries like china actually grow the fish in pools with sewage water and then that actual water is treated with antibiotics!!! how am i going to get healthy if i buy food that is like poison? jodi <might as well wear my aluminum hat and sit in the corner> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
