Industries are now pushing forward the “eat natural” agenda since it’s healthier and better for your well being. But is this truly modesty towards consumers or is it yet another façade of a solution above something much deeper?
Anytime you walk into the market to shop groceries, you find products labeled “natural.” In most cases, you find people buying these goods, knowing in mind that they are buying healthy and conscious that the choice they have made is beneficial to their bodies and free from harm. What you do not know when buying is that these labels are just promising, but in the long run – misleading.
At the back of your mind, when purchasing all-natural products, you are very much aware that the goods have not been tampered with by any chance. Many people would prefer buying natural goods because they do not know it is just a registration. Some sellers will have this label in their meat and poultry products to prove they are all-natural.
In some cases, natural for sellers could mean there is no artificial or any other form of additive. However, there are no set regulations to confirm and monitor whether food producers follow any guidelines whenever they are manufacturing and labeling products as natural.
All-natural food products can be cultivated using pesticides, and for meat, animals can be fed with synthetic animal feeds and treated using antibiotics. Therefore, natural could just be a word with no valid evidence about how much or little compounds have been used to deplete and even eliminate the naturalness of a product.
You should demand regulation of food processing systems, and more importantly ensure that the products are healthy and up to natural standard levels. It is conscious since the day in day out people out there is trying to manufacture environmentally friendly and healthy foods.
Unfortunately, they are barred and disgraced by the availability of natural labels in the market, which they really are not. Natural is just a mere weak regulation used by food vendors to mislead the consumers.
