This Comes Out of a Poop Chute
And you eat it despite the fact that it is loaded with chemicals!
We (including girls) should all be learning science and statistics to school-leaving age so we're less likely to fall victim to scaremongering and snakeoil pushers.
Oh but "all natural" X (extracted from plants using chemicals and harsh chemical processing) with unknown mixture of "all natural" impurities is soooo much healthier for us than synthetic, laboratory prepared X of 99% purity (tested in a lab) likely prepared using similar chemicals with known (tested) amounts of residual process chemicals.
All natural hemlock is healthier for you than synthetic hemlock All natural digitalis is so much healthier for you than synthetic All natural asbestos is so much healthier for you than (oh wait there isn't a synthetic version) etc...
Beautiful! My Dad used to do the same kind of thing by naming all the chemicals is potato plants or vegetables. He loved chemicals- to a point.
