aah oh wow this is great

my best friend in middle school wasn’t allowed to wash her hair with anything other than this weird lemon juice concoction because her terrifying mother objected to “chemicals”, I spent a lot of time being like BUT WE’RE 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 “no chemicals!” I couldn’t not buy dish detergent made of ~*MAGIC*~.

There’s a brand of detergents that promises ‘no nasty chemicals’. AUGH.

as a chemist, this is relevant to me

chemicals are our friends!

Ugh this! While I understand people wanting transparency with their food and what is in it, blind fear of “gmos” and “chemicals” is really harmful too.

One of my favorite parts of Brave New World is when one character can’t actually figure out how to explain chemicals. It made me realize exactly how arbitrary the distinction is…

Emphasis mine.
