Organic unfortunately does not mean pasture raised or humanely raised, only the absence of chemical pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, and GMOs. If it is pasture raised and organic both should be indicated on the label.
With many years working professionally in the argricultural
and holistic health industries, I completely understand how labels are often confusing and misleading to the average consumer.
My bottom line after all these years is, if a food was raised with love, compassion, integrity and as nature intended, it's all good. You really cannot go wrong with sustainably, humanely raised and seasonal and local whole foods. Also, keep in mind that not only do chemicals used in foods reduce their nutritional value, but so does what livestock are fed, and the distance the food must travel to the consumer.
I think the saying, you are what you eat should also extend to we are what our foods eat!
