We follow the EU rules on that, as far as I know. And oh certainly, it is far from perfect; practically all animal products produced in big scale, are unethical, and I would not trust the organic labeling on plant products. But if you are going to buy eggs, even the EU bio criteria are significantly better, than having the chickens locked in tiny cages for their lives, or kept in huge indoor halls. The criteria, for example, also includes 4sq.m of outside space per chicken, and that they get to spend 1/3 their lives outside, whenever possible. Here the outdoor season is from May to October, I do not know does that differ in other EU countries. Is that great? No. But it is better, than the alternative requirements.
I agree. Definitely better, yes. What I was pointing out is that the whole organic/Bio thing can be deceptive, often in a subliminal way. There is quite a bit of marketing there.
That said, I do buy BIO eggs, free range chicken and meats, the whole shebang. I just try to remember that it’s better than regular industrial, but not from my great aunt’s farm.
What I haven’t made my mind up about is fish. I do fish, and eat what I catch. Sadly only in the summer, as I’m landlocked most of the year. The thing about intensive fishing VS. intensive fish farming causes me a bit of unease.
