Cow Manure as Fertlizer for Organic Farms

[Guest guest]

I read the feature article in Newsweek this week about Organic

Farming. I buy and eat pretty much exclusively organic food products

thinking this is better for me and the environment and that the

vegatable sources of nutrition are vegan.

 

According to this article, many/most Organic farms use animal and/or

animal manure as a source of fertilizer. This suggests to me that it

is impossible to be vegan if vegetables, legumes, fruits, and grains

are grown using animal products and bi-products.

 

Any thoughts, refutations regarding this?
