Organic vs Natural

How many people know the difference between something labeled organic and something labeled natural?  If you buy something with the label "all natural"  don't you think you are getting something all natural?  And what exactly does that mean?  Unless you are buying organic you may still be getting additives, pesticides, and fungicides in your food, just to name a few.  FDA regulation allows food companies to add a list that goes on in the tens of thousands of "natural" additives to our so called all natural food and still call it "natural."  FDA considers these additives as GRAS (generally regarded as safe).  What these additives are doing is altering the flavor and taste of our food.  So here is my advice....go organic.
