Don't Let USDA Okay 4-Month Factory Farm Confinement for "Organic" Beef
The USDA wants to know what organic consumers think about "finishing" or fattening up organic beef cattle for four months in factory farm-style feedlots.
Studies show that cattle confined and fed grain in feedlots are prone to E. coli 0157 contamination, whereas healthy organic cattle grazing on grass are typically free of this dangerous pathogen. The meat from grass-fed beef is also healthier and more nutritious than beef that's been "marbleized" in the feedlot.
Take Action: Tell President Obama and the USDA National Organic Program that you don't want organic beef cattle to be kept in factory-farm-style feedlots for the last four months of their lives.
