aah oh wow this is great
my best friend in middle school wasnāt allowed to wash her hair with anything other than this weird lemon juice concoction because her terrifying mother objected to āchemicalsā, I spent a lot of time being like BUT WEāRE MADE OF CHEMICALS at her, to no avail
This is so great. Chemicals are not inherently bad, people.
basically obligated to reblog this
I bought dish detergent once that advertised itself as containing āno chemicals!ā I couldnāt not buy dish detergent made of ~*MAGIC*~.
Thereās a brand of detergents that promises āno nasty chemicalsā. AUGH.
as a chemist, this is relevant to me
chemicals are our friends!
Ugh this! While I understand people wantingĀ transparencyĀ with their food and what is in it, blind fear of āgmosā and āchemicalsā is really harmful too.
One of my favorite parts of Brave New World is when one character canāt actually figure out how to explain chemicals. It made me realize exactly how arbitrary the distinction isā¦
Emphasis mine.
