Some foods are labeled French because people were ignorant of where the food really came from and France was known to be a place of good food. French fries came from Belgium. French dressing came from America.

Do health stores carry natural and organic foods?

Yes, health food stores carry natural and organic foods. Foods labeled natural are not necessary organic. In order to be totally organic, foods must be labeled "100% organic." Foods labeled "organic" only have to be 70% organic and the remaining ingredients can be anything, including preservatives, additives, and GMOs. Foods labeled "natural" could be almost anything, as natural is not clearly defined. Health food stores are likely to have some of each of these labels.
