(In)Organic & (Un)Natural

 …And while we’re at it…​

​

The FDA has no definitions of "natural" or "organic," so,

to consumers, these buzzwords functionally mean nothing,

despite their constant employ by charlatans.​

​

Besides,

petroleum, opiates, arsenic, strychnine, hemlock, poison ivy…

botox, too, by the way…a whole lot of vile stuff…

jellyfish phytotoxins, snail venom and mucus

 (Really.),

blood, urine, excrement, various bodily fluids and forms of semen…

(Sorry.)

They all are natural and organic, and, at some time or other,

all of these natural and organic substances have been foisted upon

a vain and gullible public as somehow beneficial,

then beta-tested on duped patsies in the marketplace.​

​

But, really,

doesn’t it seem more than a little strange

to knowingly, hopefully ingest or introduce

any weird effluent to human skin,

and stranger still, bizarre, even,

 to pay for the privilege of being a guinea pig, a bleary-eyed bunny,

and blindly choosing to be some corporation’s toady and test subject,

absent any scientific research or clinical trials

on the shaky basis of some meaningless colloquial contrivance or fad,

a passing fancy?​

​

  Anyway…​
