I was specifically referring to meat, which has much better conditions than factory farming, and much better nutrition as a result.

But that's a gain due to free-range techniques, not organic prohibitions.

Agreed. My comment and thought process is USA-centric. Free-range doesn't really mean anything in the US as a standard for poultry, and nothing for other kinds of meat. Organic beef on the other hand has "Must have unrestricted outdoor access" as a required criteria, along with prohibitions on hormones and antibiotics.
