Are you referring to the 'free ranged animals have more chance to get diseased due to spreading germs in the fresh air?' I know that was a topic a while ago... is that what you mean by safe?
No, not at all.
What I mean is that I don't want to get sick when I eat meat, plain and simple. So I'm completely in favor of meat being tested before it's send to the consumer, even if it costs me extra money. I don't want to contract Creutzfeldt–Jakob because testing meat is too expensive.
Obviously the best option here is to stop using bone meal. And probably the very best in terms of safety is to eat organic. But when I'm in the supermarket buying meat I tend to think economical, and I feel that buying organic meat isn't worth the higher price-tag. For me it's a matter of balancing taste, price and safety, with animal welfare coming fourth. And I'm generally happy with the safety of meat. Though I agree that the amount of antibiotics that are given to animals is worrying.
I have my doubts about organic meat being better for the environment because animals raised for organic meat take up more space. Yes, you might have less of a problem with waste products, but I doubt if it weighs up to the use of extra space being used. (Unless the higher price-tag means you're going to eat less meat.)
