What's the difference between "natural" and "organic"? Some nationally recognized organic food companies that have built their reputation in the organic industry are now selling new lines of natural (not organic) products.

Most natural claims are unregulated and untested, and the minimal regulations that do exist are vague and nearly impossible to enforce.
