What does the term "Natural" mean on your Goldfish crackers?

Hmmm... good question: What does the term "natural" mean on your child's Goldfish Crackers?  Well, according to the Fooducate post on, "Is the Lawsuit Against Goldfish Frivolous?",  "the FDA has no definition for Natural. In our book, the term is meaningless, and should not be relied upon when making a food choice. We recommend reading the ingredient list and the nutrition label."

So, in my book, if the packaging doesn't have the following symbol:

...it doesn't go in my shopping cart.  I also try (as best I can) not to place any food in my carriage that even has a label or a label with more than five ingredients - all of which I can pronounce and are in my kitchen cabinet.

Seriously, "enhanced" water?

SuperMom101 Response to a Post on Fooducate:

Excellent point. My niece lost 70 pounds by focusing on the "quality" of her food and not just the calories.  I  don't drink soda and when out with my niece purchased a Dasani water (coke product).  The water  is "enhanced"  and it's on her don't drink list.  Rarely purchase bottled water but now when I do,.. I read the label.   Is it possible these "enhancements" are just chemical by-products of manufacturing coke and diet coke?  

Look closely....minerals added for taste?

The above product states:

Made 100% from plants, not oil, our petroleum-free, BPA-free bottle doesn't leach chemicals into your water.  What's more, our crisp, clean water contains essential minerals for taste.  Huh? Green Planet's better bottle is the healthy choice for you and the planet.  Seriously?

You've "cleaned" the water and then added chemicals back in to it?
