Just as millions of people are referring to George W. Bush as president of the United States (though many know he is not), advertising has promoted ignorance.

From the Humane Society of the United States:

When you see meat, egg, or dairy products with the claim "Natural" on the packaging, it means the product:
A. Came from an animal who ate a natural diet?
B. Came from an animal who was raised in a natural environment?
C. Contains no colors or other additives during processing?
D. All of the above?
Answer: C
The claim "natural" on animal product packaging has no relevance to animal welfare. It does not refer to the animal's diet or environment, and only refers to how the meat, egg, or dairy is processed either after slaughter (in the case of meat) or after it has been taken from the animal (in the case of eggs and dairy).
