Microbes are still made of chemicals, it’s just different chemicals
I hate the “chemicals bad” nonsense. It’s ignorant fearmongering. Meanwhile I eat chemicals for breakfast.
Geez, you’ve eaten so many chemicals, that’s all you are made up of now
“It’s 100% natural!” “So is arsenic.” …
When I see “without chemicals” I just assume it’s shorthand for “without known harmful chemicals, probably” until I carefully read the label and learn more
Asbestos is literally 100% natural. A pure natural product.
Really!? Crazy, imma read up on asbest today :), thanks for the factoid!
It’s mineral mined from the ground.
My favorite: “With natural ingredients!”
There are artificial colors that are not known to be harmful, so would that also mean they are without chemicals?

Everyone who eats and drinks chemicals will eventually die!
I knew someone who ate a chemical once and they died so it must be true.
Oooo, quercetin, so spooky like myricetin and kaempferol. I can’t even go outside for fear of the chemical cyanidin. Wait. Those are just banana flavour compounds. My bad.

I’m excited to see the first color to cause a mass health event because the color wasn’t fully sterilized because of cost cutting. I’m sure people will be really normal about it.
Bets on red btw.
