Organic beef

"Organic meat has never been given antibiotics or hormones, so it's always the way to go if you have the option," she says. "Grass-fed is even better; meat from a grass-fed animal doesn't have as much total or saturated fat as regular grain-fed."

Organic stuff costs more because it cost more to raise or losses are higher.  Not adding fertilizer to vegatable yields less per acre and no pesticides yeild increased losses from disease and pests. 

As far as meat, organic is costlier due to smaller animals and increased risk of sickness. While it is true that grass fed beef is healthier than grain  fed beef because it has less fat, it is equally  true that grass fed beef is tougher and has less flavor.
