I'm definitely not throwing rocks at junk food - gummy bears are my trail sin.

but organic is not the same as natural - the dichotomy is organic vs chemical/pesticide, natural/raw vs processed. bodies in cold environments or needing slow burning fuel need complex carbs and fats. Mountaineers write books and articles on this subject. Simple sugars are fine if you're getting enough of the rest.
