1|1|alot of difference :) the color, what they are fed, how they are treated/raised |driller|harj@frontier.com|18:00:35|01/14/2012|
Organic chicken is natural flesh color ususally pink and or white, like your flesh.
They are USDA certified by law, are treated humanly, fed seeds, bugs, grass (all veggie diets) foods that are from the earth.
Also they are not given any hormones or antibiotics. Most organic chickens do not eat any grains, etc, that have chemicals or
pesticides.
Natural chicken is yellowish in color. Mostly fed corn products. There are no standard guidelines for how they are treated , fed,
pastured, etc. The feed that is fed to natural chickens , usually has been grown with GMO`S (genetically modified organisms) which are
mostly all chemicals. YUKKK
Hope this info helps?

I think these grocers try to confuse people with "organic" and "natural" so they can get more money from people who are buying those chickens.
Alot of people think natural and organic are the same. 4|3|:) Yes, you got that right. |driller|harj@frontier.com|18:42:14|01/14/2012|
~Judy in MI~ :) 3|1|thank you was not understanding the difference and the price difference|ladywcats|gloria.neal@zoomtown.com|18:34:03|01/14/2012|
thank you for explaining
Have a good day Gloria 5|2|Have you ever wondered about when you buy meats that are labeled FRESH?|driller|harj@frontier.com|19:19:00|01/14/2012|
Are they really FRESH? Most likely NOT~~ The only way they could be fresh, is if you buy or get locally.
My BIL explained to me, how these companies are allowed to put fresh on their labels, even though the product/meats are frozen during transporting.
Once they are frozen, they are NO LONGER fresh.
I guess I don`t understand how we can be mislead so much into buying these products. Grrrr
Personally I think they are using the word ~Natural~ to make you think it is better for you. Ya, right. :(
So if it is labeled (no antibiotics or hormones), does this mean it is better? Not always so. I would want to know, what they are fed, if they
get sunshine, grazing, etc.
I guess I am just too picky~
