You mean they were treated humanely then shot in the back of the head. That's kind of like implying that a POW that was well-fed and given clean quarters then shot was treated humanely, isn't it?
Kind of loses it's shine when you point out what they do with the humanely treated animals.
Why do I feel that I should just pull out my saved posts from the 'nature' aspect of violence thread?
The grown was from a dictionary definition. Organic, used by farmers and ranchers basically means without additional chemicals, hormones, antibiotics added to either the feed of the animal or the soil or water of the vegetables (add pesticides to the list for organic veggies). It's a common term and even most large grocery stores will have an 'organic section' in their produce department.
As for the POW comment... you're just being incendiary again aren't you? 
I'm a omnivore. I eat veggies, fish, meat etc. I've raised some of my own livestock and I've grown a lot of my own vegetables. Almost all of your food has to die in order for you to eat (unless all you eat is fruit). Unless someone is going to try to become a 'breathairian' (this is a real group of people who believe they can go from vegetarians, to raw foodists, to breathairians who only live on air) all I'm saying is take responsibility for your food.
If I choose to eat something that has to die and I don't have the means to do it myself, I can at least choose sources that give them a decent quality of life before that event.
