I’ve never understood the excessive reverence for "all natural". In fact, I have to say I’m generally pretty opposed to it. Don’t get me wrong, I love nature, but I recognize that just about every worthy accomplishment of mankind has been blasphemously unnatural. Putting a man on the moon? Unnatural. The use of penicillin? Unnatural. The Mona Lisa? Definitely unnatural. But still, the overabundant allure persists.
Consider then, these ten very unnatural acts and what life might be without them:
- Wearing clothing
- Taking medicine
- Reading
- Writing
- Using toilet Paper
- Cooking food
- Riding in a car, bus or train
- Using money
- Marriage (gay or not)
- Using a computer…
Of course reproduction, arguably man’s most important accomplishment, still falls into the “natural only” realm, but fear not; scientists are working hard on that one as well.
So the next time a Right-Wing religa-bigot starts hemming and hawing
about “unnatural acts” or some Left-Wing tree hugger starts up about “mother earth” hand them the above list and say “have fun being natural”.
