Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today. Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruits and grains which have been grown in soil that is rich in anic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matters, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process pared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount—but not the quality—of foods grown in mercial farming areas. Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures.
