I agree, I'm a pretty relaxed person when it comes to diet. Like the parent, I get somewhat annoyed by people who come off as judgmental and overzealous in their quest for the 'natural.'

But, when I read articles like this one about how companies manipulate and bend rules or information to omit ingredients from labels, it doesn't give me confidence they're as safe as they say. They very well could be, but hiding a chemical's use from me isn't going to build confidence.

I feel like articles like this are as useful to those of us who will drink a Coke and eat a drive-through burrito, as it is to those who might only eat 'raw.'
