Just like to pint one thing out- Organic means that the ingredients used are sourced naturally from plants with no pesticides or chemicals used to grow them. Natural just means natural ingredients but the y are not organic.

@sverige619 yes I know :) the name does not represent an "organic" product. It's just a more natural product, with less chemicals used than more conventional ones. I also have a video called: Organic vs Natural, so please check it out!

I went to the site to see more about the "vulnerables" but had to scour two pages of product adds to find anything. I finally found "charity" at the bottom of the page in very small font. why is the charity info so insignificantly placed on their site yet placed so explicitly on their products? to reach out is good. to potentially stigmatize and racialize people needs serious interrogation and can cause a natural surge of indignation.

thanx for sharing your thoughts p. i too love organics but found myself thinking about the company's approach to "advertising." seems innocent and noble enough but so many "privileged" companies try to "save" the "vulnerable" in the name of "profit." what about our "backyard" vulnerables? (those next door)
