NATURAL and ORGANIC defined

Society is finally getting around to rethinking our state of living. "Natural" and "organic" products and items are everywhere now. I personally have thought for quite some time that something, whether food or favorite product or a tangible need, is better in a naturally occurring state....meaning I am not one to conform to this newfound trend of natural and organic because it's popular or it's everywhere. In anything that I've studied, I have found that doing a bit of research on the origin or definition of a word or meaning is beneficial to understanding; it seems to brighten the purpose of that which you are investigating. Therefore, I have included some favorite definitions for "natural" and "organic." Hopefully these will enlighten your understanding into WHY the world benefits from things that are natural and organic: NATURAL = in a state of nature; uncultivated, as land
NATURAL = arising easily or spontaneously

ORGANIC = characterized by the systemic arrangement of parts; organized; ssytematic; elements fitting together into a unified, whole.

ORGANIC = having an organization similar in its complexity to that of living things.
Do you question the world around you? I mean the everyday lifestyle happenings: why you get stuck in the same 'ruts' each week; why so many people have low back pain; why you can get dinner in a box; why kids always have runny noses; and most intriguingly....why people are choosing natural products/birthplans/remedies? Why are they choosing this - are they just "hippies" or are they onto something good? I question this, of course. That's why I'm writing this blog - to share my perspective as I delve into the answers to these questions. Follow me.....
