The&lt;br /&gt;clerk asked my son if he wanted&lt;br /&gt;something to drink.  Tommy held&lt;br /&gt;up an orange juice and asked if it&lt;br /&gt;had pulp in it.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The clerk said, "Probably, all our&lt;br /&gt;orange juice is natural."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked him, "What is unnatural orange&lt;br /&gt;juice?."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He replied, "Juice that has been&lt;br /&gt;processed."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If it hasn't been processed how did&lt;br /&gt;it get in the bottle?  That's a process."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He refined his answer:  "I mean juice&lt;br /&gt;that has been altered by humans."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again I asked, "So how did it get&lt;br /&gt;in the bottle if humans didn't put it&lt;br /&gt;there?"&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this point he was starting to get&lt;br /&gt;peeved and I really wasn't in a mood&lt;br /&gt;to be that snotty.  I just got the&lt;br /&gt;coffee (Tommy doesn't do pulp) and&lt;br /&gt;gave the guy a healthy tip. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The upshot of the story is I still don't&lt;br /&gt;get the whole devotion to "natural"&lt;br /&gt;and "organic."  We are part of nature&lt;br /&gt;and incapable of doing anything that&lt;br /&gt;is not natural.  And, all food is organic.&lt;br /&gt;After all, we don't eat a diet of silica. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem is that man, man's ideas,&lt;br /&gt;man's involvement are inherently suspect&lt;br /&gt;in the food business (to pick one example).&lt;br /&gt;Minimizing the impact of people supposedly&lt;br /&gt;makes the food better or safer or&lt;br /&gt;something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The very fertilizers and insecticides&lt;br /&gt;that have kept this world from famine&lt;br /&gt;are now seen as antithetical&lt;br /&gt;to healthy living.  As a former history&lt;br /&gt;major I know that famine is not that&lt;br /&gt;long past. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I imagine that this all exists as a&lt;br /&gt;weird combination of hatred of&lt;br /&gt;the Image of God and misapplication&lt;br /&gt;of Total Depravity.
