article "Real Food" vs. "All Natural"

At Kakadoodle we pride ourselves in offering real food from happy animals on local farms. We connected with other likeminded farmers who have the same goal of providing our community with quality food while also nurturing the land. The community we feed are consciously choosing to put better food on their families plates. The service of Kakadoodle makes this process a lot easier knowing that we are mindful of what "real food" means.

While shopping in a grocery store, many people believe they are buying healthier versions of food when it says "all natural" on the label. The term "all natural" on a food label can be misleading because it doesn't have a clear definition or standard of use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This means that food manufacturers can use the term in a variety of ways, even if the product contains synthetic or artificial ingredients.

For example, a product labeled "all natural" may contain high-fructose corn syrup, which is a highly processed and refined sweetener. Additionally, some "all natural" products may contain artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. The term "all natural" can also be used on foods that have undergone processing or have been treated with pesticides, hormones, or antibiotics.

You can learn more about each of our farmers and their farming practices on our website. You will see that our animals are pasture-raised with non-GMO diets and our crops are grown without harsh chemicals. Knowing where you food comes from and how means a lot more than the unregulated label of "all natural."
