Because it is baked, the chemical ingredients react to form new (and therefore artificial) chemical compounds. Sorry, but we think these artificial compounds taste better the unbaked NATURAL ingredients. All ingredients used are either NATURAL or ARTIFICIAL but even the latter are made ultimately from NATURAL ingredients (there are no other kind.) Most ingredients are ORGANIC except for small amounts of good inorganic chemicals like salt for taste. The flour used was made from wheat grown with ORGANIC fertilizer made from NATURAL 100% ORGANIC guano (bird feces) or cow manure. But we have made every effort to remove rat feces and botulism even though they are NATURAL and 100% ORGANIC.” To overcome consumer belief that “natural” and “organic” mean “healthy”, I propose a warning label similar to this:
