Organic and natural

Just because something is “organic” and “natural” doesn’t mean it’s good for you.

Take arsenic for instance.

Hemlock.

Lead.

They’re all organic, they’re all natural. They’re even dolphin-safe! But they aren’t good for you. 🙂

(OK, arsenic and lead don’t have a carbon-basis, but I’m talking marketing terms here. Regardless, a heaping bowl of organic hemlock sprinkled with 100% natural arsenic won’t do your body good.)

  1. Cowpies are natural and organic, but you won’t find me eating them.
    And tofu may be organic, but it is NOT natural, and I won’t abide the stuff in my home.

    • Wife and I went through a vegetarian phase early in our life together.

      There was much consumption of soy-based products.

      We got over it. Thank G_d.

      It was nice to explore that. It did give us perspective, and exploring that viewpoint was good. I don’t regret it.

      But you know what’s a better viewpoint? Bacon.

      In fact, bacon from a hog you shot yourself. 🙂

  2. Organic food is great for people who want to spend extra money for beans with worms in them. It is pure marketing BS. A way to sell an inferior product for me. It is genius. I wish I thought of it.

    I wonder what an organic all natural motor oil made from real whale oil could sell for?
