Natural and organic foods and beverages are and have been a hot topic in the stock market for years now with companies often posting high growth figures before being purchased by one of the traditional consumer packaged goods firms like General Mills (NYSE:GIS) or Kellogg (NYSE:K). Hain Celestial (NASDAQ:HAIN) is one of the more recognizable names among organic manufacturers as it's been the subject of takeover speculation for years as well as plagued with a high-profile investigation of its accounting practices. I wrote about why I believed Hain to be a worthwhile investment as it had finally moved on from its accounting trouble back in November when the price was slightly above $35/share. The stock is down since that article and now sits around $31/share.
