The reason for the higher levels of omega-3s in organic meat is probably what the livestock are eating. One of the requirements for meats that are labeled "organic,"whether in the United States or Europe, is that animals spend at least a minimum amount of time grazing, whereas conventionally raised animals tend to spend more time indoors and have a diet that is richer in grains. "In simple terms, if the animals eat more fresh grass, the omega-3s go up," Leifert said.
