"Natural" is clear as mud

Thanks to Andrew Sullivan's blog, I discovered the food blogs on The Atlantic's website. There's a good little piece about the problems with regulations on "natural" meats. If you really want to get a headache, follow the links to the government's website requesting comments on new regulations regarding the label "natural". You would think the term would be easy to define, but it is in many people's interest to give it counter-intuitive meanings. (Be careful if you are reading this after May 11, 2009, because the comment period ends/ended then and this link will no longer work).
