Are you speculating or have you researched this? Maybe in Canada things are different but from my research and studies the authors that I have read say that "Certified Organic" means it's been independantly tested for quality standards. If it says "made with organic materials" that's useless, because 99.9% of the product can be non-organic and then they add a pinch of organic salt for example, but "Certified Organic" means the facilities are regularly inspected.
Here in Canada I know we are a lot more health conscious especially in BC as our economy doesn't depend on farm animals as much as the US so I wonder if that makes a difference. I know when I travel to the US I find it a LOT harder to eat Organic or vegetarian meals. I'm not sure how Vegas is but the places I've been to in the US (New York, Hawaii, California) were all places that were hard to find good vegetarian organic food. Even in our restaurants here the standard size of a steak if you order one is like 7-ounce or 9-ounce, not the 12-16 ounce ones I see in the states. Also, chicken fried steak doesn't even exist here.
Anyway, I'm really wondering if Organic Meat is better then non-organic for the animals I mean. I really don't think "Certified Organic" is a meaningless term, although I could be wrong as I haven't done enough research yet.
