It is misleading to say anything organic is a natural compounds because a natural compound is something made from a living thing, such as wool from sheep or wood from trees. But, organic compounds can be made artificially made from mostly crude oil, or petroleum. Things such as, cleaning solutions, fuels, plastics, and many other such products that are organic compounds.

Hope that helps.

Is it true that America false advertises Organic food?

Yes and no, mostly no. Out and out false advertisement of organic foods is probably rare, though companies do mislead consumers at times because the requirements for some terms are vague. For example, there was a report recently that a major cooking oil was labeled "natural," most likely to lead consumers to associate "natural" with "organic" or "healthy." While the ingredients in the oil were natural in the sense that they were plants, the label was misleading in that "natural" is often associated with "organic" and other terms. Also, even foods with the USDA "certified organic" label can be misleading. The USDA allows the use of chemicals on organic foods in certain situations. So, again, outright false advertisement of organic foods is probably rare, though misleading advertisement and labeling probably is more common than one might think.

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.
