    FYI: Crude Oil is just as “natural” as Natural Gas. They both derive from buried, long-dead, decomposed plants & animals.

        @neiltyson I don't get why everybody's so hung up on the word "natural." You know what's natural? Arsenic and morphine.

        @ThePatMann Actually organic doesn't mean no pesticides it just means no artificial pesticides, organic food actually needs more pesticides

        @neiltyson which proves once more that natural is not =good. Natural "medicine" needs regulation and control.

        @neiltyson @patricklee6669 And the problem is we don't respect nature's dead. Obviously the planet doesn't favor cremation.
