Organic Beef vs Conventional Beef

    I read an article on National geographic and it compared the Diets of livestock in a conventional farm and an organic farm and what i found out changed my view on meat forever. Conventionally produced beef is far more large than organic beef, for years scientist's tried to understand so they went undercover to find out why the cows were growing so large. They found out that conventional farmers used grain as a diet for the cattle causing them to grow rapidly and when they examined the grain they also found a lot of growth enhancers and antibiotics to make them big and muscular, almost like a cow on steroids. They compared this method to an organic method and organic farmers feed the cows grass and natural foods. Another huge topic of concern is the living conditions for cattle. organic farmers let their cows graze in the open meadow and are free to roam around. They are put into feedlots(inside place were cows go if it is raining or snowing and they cannot graze)in only certain conditions. The problem with conventional farmers is that their cows are in feed lots 24-7 and they rarely come out which is illegal and cruel. People really need to listen up to these facts and know what is being put into their food or how it was raised. A cow should be healthy not souped up on antibiotics, that's un-natural. These farmers know it is wrong but they continue to do it anyway because their lives depend on it. its up to us to stop it.
