Why? Because I follow the ethical treatment of animals that are grown and fed properly for one purpose ( to feed me) ?
I buy local grown poultry, and have been doing so since 2009.
I know my farmer personally.
You trust a third party that trusts another third party that gets their crops from another party.
and then they have another party "certifying" it as organic.
Yeah.. seems legit.

Seriously - your stance against our species predisposition to eat anything and everything based on some form of ethics is laughable.
It isn't a predisposition but rather an ethical preference.
As a species - yes it is a predisposition. We evolved to eat anything and everything with basically very few poisons exceptions and some of them if they are prepared correctly are still edible.
It is your position (a hypocritical position at that) that is supposedly based on ethics.
When we evolved to do so it was a different time, food was safe, well except from it perhaps eating you. 
Today we treat animals as object and subject them to unnecessary amounts of cruelty. It doesn't have to be this way. I am sorry you look at it the way you do using arguments that are clearly out of context but these argument are not your but that of the general public sadly, an uninformed public whose ways are going to be society's undoing.

Good for you Tenk, you are much further ahead than most. Being conscious of your choices in everything you do is a good path chief

yet - you don't give a moments pause to the produce industry (obviously) and you more than obviously don't give two craps about the living organism you choose to eat.
But I do, I am very on top of the produce I consume but thx for assuming otherwise.
Sorry you feel I am pompous but I'm only pointing out your flawed logic, this makes you angry, I know. Being told that your choices reflect your self entitlement sucks doesn't it?

Not only that - legally the label 'organic' doesn't mean jack squat.

What are you talking about? When we branched off as our own species was a time when food was safe? What does that even mean? I am talking about the statement of fact that the human species is a omnivore. We eat everything, that is simply a statement of our evolutionary history.

We treat domesticated food stock as domesticated food stock because that's what we breed them for - food stock. Do you even understand the impact of domestication? Do you realize that the vast majority of animals that are in fact considered 'food' bear little resemblance to their wild heritage?
Hell - damn near every fruit and vegetable you eat has also been domesticated as well...
These plants, trees, animals are ours, we have created them as food stock. Without us they wouldn't exist in the first place. STFU and just eat, or not - but stop being such a ignorant hypocritical pompous douche bag about it.

I've never eaten much red meat or pork, never touch milk....and I've had my chest ripped open twice. Maybe there are other, even more important, factors in developing heart disease than diet?
Maybe?

Being a lazy fat ass, smoking, and drinking all caught up with me.
The fact that I now weigh a reasonable 184 lbs, get consistent exercise, quit smoking years ago, and.....well forget the drinking part but anyway.....the fact that I live a healthier lifestyle now doesn't change the fact that I abused my body thru my 20's, 30's, and 40's.
Too late to fix it and I've got some neat scars and a bunch of plastic in my chest. I guess if I ate tons of red meat and guzzled cow juice I might not have lived to talk about it though. Everything in moderation is boring....but being dead is more boring.

It's sad that it takes something as drastic as this for some people to wake up and change. Glad you made it Some people aren't as lucky as you and die of a heart attack or stroke.
