Some of you might find this survey finding interesting.  It is quoted from a
larger study on organic foods and American consumer behavior:

===========================
Seventy-Five Percent Think ``All-Natural'' and ``Organic'' Are Synonymous

The study, conducted by Roper Starch Worldwide, Inc., reveals that while
nearly two in three Americans (63%) feel organic foods and beverages are
both better and more healthful for them than the non-organic counterparts,
three out of four consumers (75%) are unable to differentiate between
organic foods and those which are labeled ``all-natural.'' Additionally, one
in five (21%) erroneously thinks ``organic'' is synonymous with
``low-calorie.''
