Guess what the latest pseudoscience "wellness" trend is that's right it's anti-sunblock brigades yep it has "chemicals" or some shit so better not rub that on yourself good luck with your skin cancer at least you didn't touch a chemical!
Wow, it's almost as if over a century of indiscriminate corporate propaganda has had negative consequences. It's too bad nobody could have predicted that...
A friend of mine on Facebook is a painter and recently got into a knock-down drag-out with someone who thinks no precautions need be taken around “natural” pigments. You know, like
lead chromate red. Or cobalt.
My sister’s SIL has “spikeopathy” and I just read this long explanation of what it was, along with demands the SIL is making of her extended family members for an upcoming reunion to maintain a 10-foot distance from her at all times and I’m feeling a little triggered, ngl.
Toothpaste has chemicals in it, but tooth decay is natural. The naturalistic fallacy gets us to bad breath & mouth pain pretty quickly, I guess sunburns, wrinkles & skin cancers are also on that route.
I had a niece who started selling oils through and MLM talk about living a chemical free life and I was like, I don’t think those words mean what you think they mean.
She has jumped from MLM to MLM for the last 20 years and it makes me sick because they are so predatory to their sellers. I don't know why she hasn't figured it out yet.
water is full of h2o, so...
honestly at this point if we can get them to lay off the raw milk (full of bird flu rn) & possibly spare us a flu epidemic this year, that'd be a big win
Oh he got ripped a new one in short order. Skin cancer runs heavily in my family and I will not tolerate that nonsense. He also believes in marking your territory with urine, hoarding silver, and only eating food from cans.
For bonus points, we are the only two queer people (out ones at least) at our workplace which has lead to a bunch of "please don't think this bonkers position is held by the community" talk from me.
"unpronounceable chemicals"
My brother in Christ, have you ever cracked open a biochem text and read aloud the formal names of these natural compounds you fetishize?
Of course not. That'd be like getting tricked into thinking vaccines cause autism but then believing a non-thimerosol vaccine was safe -- a nuance beyond the audience
