5. If you eat meat, do the humane thing & eat organic!
More details >>
Only organic meat can be considered even remotely humane. It puts the welfare of the animal as paramount, ensuring that the animals are allowed to roam freely and eat only natural foods throughout their entire lives. Most meat sold today has been intensively farmed, with very little regard to the suffering that this inflicts on the animals. Cramped conditions, synthetic (sometimes cannibalistic) processed feeds, lack of ventilation and access to open spaces - imagine how you would feel if your entire life was spent under these conditions? Next time you bite into a cheap burger, sausage or processed chicken nugget just think about the suffering that has gone into the production of your meal. Unless you buy organic, you are complicit in the inhumane industrialised treatment of millions of animals.
