Hi,

I am starting this thread to discuss some issues that were raised in the butter vs margarine thread. Not sure if this is the right place?! Sorry, I didn't know how to transfer your comments here.

Flowerchild, i agree that we should consider the ethical issues and environmantal impact of our food choices. I agree that organic is better for the environment.

I agree with Inertia that organic isn't necessarily the best for animals though.

Organically raised animals might be less restricted (eg. chickens,pigs), however, they don't escape the end result - transportation to an abbatoir, then death.

Hope you find this thread!
