"It's ll-Natural!"
Don is a clever person. He and a friend were having dinner at a natural foods restaurant. First they ordered salads. When the salads arrived, Don noticed a worm in his, and got the attention of the waiter. When the waiter, a hippie type, walked by, Don pointed to the worm and said, "Look at that." The waiter looked at the worm, curled up in the fold of a lettuce leaf, and said, "Aw, man. It's not going to hurt you. It's natural." To which Don replied, "A bowel movement's natural, too, but I wouldn't want to eat one."
Ha! Now we can add bowel movements to the list of all the natural things... things we may not want to encounter, no matter how natural, what to speak of eat in a salad.
By the way, here's a list of even more natural things:
All these things are all-natural, but that doesn't mean they're good for us.
A long-time cyber-friend added, "What about death? That's natural." He's right, especially if it's a death from natural causes!
Evidently, only a few of us are sick and tired of hearing this "all-natural" crap. But the phrase will continue to be used to peddle us products whether we care or not. It might be an Andrew Weil book, a Deepak Chopra book, a supplement, or whatever... the buzzwords "all-natural" seem to cover a lot of territory.
