I try my hardest not to buy anything that is genetically engineered, preserved unnaturally or with any added chemicals.

I've always felt that stuff is unnessessary and potentially harmful. Food wasn't created that way, therefore I personally don't feel I should ingest it that way.

Luckily, California has a lot of organically grown products and there are many local stores around me so I'm able to eat that way.

The same goes for my cats. That's another reason I feed them Royal Canin and Innova. They are naturally made and preserved.
