Organic foods natural preservative alternatives

By M. ELAINE HORN
Of The Battalion Staff
Shelton’s chickens don’t do drugs.
They are “natural” chickens, free
of growth hormones, color enhanc
ers and chemical additives, and one
of many different natural foods pro
duced by Shelton, a natural-foods
manufacturer.
Shelton’s chickens are a typical ex
ample of the natural food lines car
ried by stores such as the Brazos
Natural Foods Store in Bryan.
Robert Atkins, co-owner of Bra
zos Natural Foods, describes natural
and organic foods as those as close to
their original state as possible. They
are grown without chemical or syn
thetic pesticides, herbicides, or ferti
lizers, and processed and packaged
without preservatives, dyes, waxes or
other chemical additives.
Gail McGlamery, a senior wildlife
and Fisheries science major, prefers
eating natural and organic foods be
cause she thinks they are healthier
and taste better.
She says that for foods such as
peanut butter, she wants to avoid
chemicals.-“I feel better knowing all
that’s in it is peanuts,” she says.
In appearance, natural foods dif
fer noticeably from conventional
foods. The colors are not as bright,
and the textures are not as smooth.
McGlamery says people are used
to seeing perfectly red tomotoes and
perfectly unscathed vegetables, and
they shy away from natural and or
ganic foods that are not as pretty.
Although the foods may look
more rugged and less perfect, she
says she feels better eating foods
without preservatives, additives, and
extra sugars and salts.
“My philosophy is if I want some
thing salty, I want to put the salt on
it.” she says. “If I want something
sweet then I’ll sweeten it myself.”
Many people question the health
benefits of natural and organic
foods. Chemicals and additives used
in the United States are tested and
approved by the Federal Drug Ad
ministration, so why should people
be concerned about them?
Atkins says that although individ
ual chemicals are tested by the FDA,
the effects of multiple chemicals
have yet to be determined.
Standards for labeling foods as or
ganic or natural vary from state to
state. In Texas, food is certified “or
ganic” when the farm that produces
it has been using organic agricultu
ral methods for three years. How
ever, guidelines for the term “natu
ral” have not been set.
“Natural” has no official meaning,
Atkins says, and in different places,
it means different things. “ ‘Natural’
has been used and abused by the
food industry over the past few
years,” Atkins Says.
If his store discovers a product
which is labeled and marketed as
natural but actually contains addi
tives, he will not continue to stock it.
McGlamery says she likes stores to
guarantee that their foods are natu
ral or organic, especially for items
such as produce.
The price of organic and natural
foods often runs 20 percent 50 per
cent higher than conventional foods.

For example, coffee at Brazos Natl
ral Foods costs more than $"
pound on sale, while gourmetcoffil
at local supermarkets costs less th
$0 a pound.
Atkins says the coffee beansinsl
permarket coffee are sprayed will
pesticide which is banned in il
country but often used in thecou-
tries where coffee beans are grow
The beans in his coffee are r
sprayed with pesticides.
Atkins says that economics cause
natural foods to be more expensive
In mass production operation!
large manufacturers can spread oi:
their costs over many packages, s
the unit price goes down.
In the natural foods marVei
fewer people are doing business, so
the price stays up.
McGlamery says that on her bud
get she can go to a natural foot
store only about once every tv
months. For her regular shoppit
she goes to the health food sectit
of local supermarkets.
She says that natural foods
definitely more expensive but
she gets what she pays for. “Iff: stre
enough money,” McGlamery
“I’d buy them all the time."
