well...i also love foie gras.
When I mean organic, I mean local farm, small farm estates, etc... :thumbs:
Not everyone can eat "organic" meat. (God I hate that movement...took a good idea and made it completely irrational). And it doesn't matter organic or not since there are plenty of toxins created in the body which have to be filtered out, that's why there's a liver in the first place. If being "organic" meant that there was nothing in the blood which needed to be filtered, we wouldn't have evolved a liver in the first place.

When I say organic, I mean 'not fed drugs and hormones and actually fed a normal diet for the animal in question'

What about liver from an animal that has eaten nothing all its life except fine beer. That's GOTTA be tasty, right?
:beer:
People and the liver....it's got to stop! We don't need to eat that stuff anymore, there are multivitamins. Do the job great. You don't want to eat the filter of an animal...it's got all sorts of nasties in it. Organ meat...it's not what's for dinner!
Your nutrition, including vitamins and minerals, should primarily be coming from your food. Your body absorbs them the best that way. Vitamins aren't as effective, and actually the metals in them (like iron) can be hard on your liver to process.
If you are eating the liver of an animal who was healthy before it died, then there will be no "nasties" in it. That's probably one of the biggest misnomers about eating liver. It is probably one of the healthiest meats you can eat to replenish your body, although it should be eaten only occasionally because of how rich it is.
Everyone eats organ meat the world over. There's nothing wrong with it and it shouldn't be phased out of people's diets. We live in the lap of luxury and want choice cuts of meat while throwing the rest of the animal away. It's a shameful practice that has nothing to do with a move away from primitiveness, but a spoiled attitude.
Many vitamins are not properly designed for nutritional absorption. However, there are those which are, and those are the ones to take. Everyone else in the world can eat organ meat, that's fine. We live in a place where we have enough technology and knowledge to supplement our diets with proper vitamins and thus we can cut the organ meats out. Leave it for the dog and cat food (it's not thrown away). Organ meat is fine when that's all you got, but once you get to a certain level you don't need it anymore. We're at that level.
Don't nobody tell me not to use giblets in my moms gravy.... :no: impdaddy:
