  • I have two trains of thought on this. The first is naturally occuring vs man made. Stones are naturally occuring, bricks are not. While we as a species have always made shelter, there is something “unnatural” about modern homes with glass windows, running water, steel beams etc.

    The second is natural vs synthetic. GMO’d food, hydrocarbons etc. I think the biggest difference to me regarding this is around how long we’ve been exposed to the substances. We’ve been exposed to certain foods and chemicals (from plants etc) for 100,000s of years and so our bodies handle them well. Our bodies haven’t adapted to things like polymers, microplastics or high fructose corn syrup, which is why these “unnatural” chemicals are considered bad.
