I believe in Canada there are stricter laws concerning hormones given to cows to increase milk production.

Subject: Re: Vegetarians or Organic Foods
I used the names of the animals (ie. sheep instead of mutton) because
I don't eat it in any form - be it mutton or lamb.
It's not a political statement. I just find I don't really care for
meat much. I agree that the hormones un-nerve me a bit. We try to buy
organic dairy because of them. (Though we usually end up with
commercial cheese.)
I wouldn't agree that organic is arguably a scam. Organic producers
have to meet strict requirements. Here - read the 554 pages of
regulations for yourself:
