Organic meats vs. All Natural meats. What is the difference?

Organic foods and the requirements they must meet to be labeled Certified Organic. As far as meat goes (beef,pork,chicken,lamb,veal) there is little difference between what is considered All Natural, and what can be labeled Organic. The difference being that Organic meats must also be fed a 100%  organic vegetarian diet. Meats labeled all natural can also be free of hormones and raised without the use of antibiotics but their vegetarian diet may not be from 100% organic vegetables. Check the manufacturer's label carefully and don't overpay if you can help it. Many supermarkets carry their own line of "All Natural" meats which are comparable to the organic brands at a considerable discount. Check the link below for requirement standards.
