Organic foods versus natural foods

A lot of people mistake natural food for organic food. Organic foods are not the same as natural foods. Natural foods are free of additives and preservatives, but even products labeled “100% natural” contain non-organic ingredients that don’t give you the promised health benefits. For instance, a carrot cake labeled “natural” could contain carrots grown non-organically, or non-organic milk and butter. Organic foods are those that

• Comply with specified organic food standards and animal welfare standards
• Are produced without artificial fertilizers, chemical agents, synthetic pesticides, or growth promoters of any type (such as growth-inducing hormones in cattle, chickens, and pigs, or milk-inducing hormones in dairy cattle)
• Are not exposed to radiation or genetically modified
• Are composed of at least 95% wholly organic ingredients

Organic food as SOLE food

In fact, organic food is closest to SOLE food – food that is sustainable, organic, local, and ethical. SOLE food is part of a larger movement to make positive changes to people’s diet and to ethical farming practices. The objective is to reverse the negative impact of heavy industrial farming and unethical animal farming practices – including the inhumane treatment of farm animals and poultry – and to produce foods that will help people live longer, healthier lives while also protecting farm animals and rehabilitating our environment.
