"Organic" is definitely defined by the USDA, for certification purposes, while "natural" is not. Although the list of "organic" pesticides contains stuff that's probably worse than the most commonly used non-organic stuff. So it means something, but doesn't mean anything useful. But, there's still a list.
Pretty much anything can be defined in law, and it will vary from state to state.
I recall reading about one state recently (Florida I think? Unimportant.) where organic 1% milk couldn't legally be called milk, because the skimming removed too much of the vitamin/nutritional content. (And adding in vitamins after the fact violated the organic-labeling rules.)
Seems like there would be an allowable percentage for a product not to be considered "non-dairy". Some of those goods use "milk solids" to get a creamy bite.

After years of putting up with runny icing made in the "traditional" way (powdered sugar, vanilla or almond extract, and always-too-much-milk-no-matter-how-little-you-put-in, basically) I finally tried making it by sprinkling a little xanthan gum in it.
HOLY CRAP IT'S PERFECT! I'M PUTTING THIS human waste IN EVERYTHING NOW. (Not true - flour is still fine for thickening sauces. But it still felt like an epiphany.)
Better living through chemistry.

They do not contain lactose and therefore are commonly described as not being dairy products, although many contain casein, a milk-derived protein.

Beachgoers said one or more people were antagonizing the nurse shark in the water. Tracy, the Ocean Rescue captain, said he didn't know how the woman came in contact with it.
Nate Pachter, 11, of Boca Raton, said he and his cousin were snorkeling when he saw the group "holding the shark by its tail. They were messing with it."

Sadly, the shark didn't make it.

i was reading about a similar case in an american national park, where some tourists came across a bison calf and put it in the trunk of their car
later it was returned to its mother but the mother rejected it, so it died
people need to stop treating nature like it's a freaking theme park

Nature has been handling that kind of human waste for millions of years, people need to stop thinking that they're doing some critter a favor by stick fiddling around with it.

Still, only funny because it's a conservative. For everyone else it would just be an aw jeez moment.

That's Goose from Top Gun. Also, in the movie, he was killed in a training accident, not in the standoff scene.
It's not like there weren't live-fire incidents between US and Soviet aircraft, though.

The fact that we were running B-47s around on recon flights in the USSR's airspace is particularly mind-boggling.
