The Gvt is in the process of defining and limiting the terms that growers are allowed to use but that crap is all BS.
I'm with you, I used to raise chickens and turkeys and the meat was white as the background on this thread. Even the "free range" chicken in the stores is yield sign yellow from all the roids...The only way to get the good stuff is local farms or grow your own.
A good BBQ sauce cuts right through it though...

I completely agree with you. Same goes with terms like "Organically grown" for fruits and vegies. Gotta do the research.
