Answer by Alice
Organic means grown without herbicides or pesticides. All natural means everything in it is natural… eg. a plant, animal or grain.
Pesticides are made to kill things… anyone who thinks they can kill the bugs and weeds but are perfectly safe to consume should really think about it. I know they are consumed in minute quantities, but over time I tend to wonder why we have so much more cancer and immunodeficiency ailments these days such as asthma and severe allergies.
Whichever you go with be sure it is a good quality animal diet… as far as cost goes you are better off buying a grain free (or at lease wheat and corn free) diet over an organic diet with wheat or corn in the top 5 ingredients. If you can afford an organic grain free diet…then your pup is one lucky dog!
Wheat and corn are much harder on your animal than the small amount of pesticides are…
And this is coming from someone who buys organic LOTS and truely understands the difference.
Question: why is there TRANSFAT in pesto sauce from “WHOLE FOODS”?
ok… so i bought this pesto sauce for pasta from “Whole Foods” (a major health organic chain) and I feel ripped off because theres like 2g of TRANS fat PER teaspoon. In the ingredients theres no hydrogenated oils (only olive oil) or anything… but how can there be trans fat
i’m definitely not eating it now.

Question: How can any farm in CA call their food “organic” seeing as there is smog all over the place?
Zelda: yes, good point. I don’t mean everywhere, obviously, just the farms by large cities.
