this is precisely the problem, here we are on the synthetic product identical to the natural one and so that's fine with you, for example if I synthesize vanillin, the main molecule of the vanilla flavor, I always do the identical to the natural, it is a synthetic product, this is what we find in products with a vanilla flavor, do you think that it is then more toxic or not? (since it is the same molecule) and given the skyrocketing price of vanilla, this synthetic product identical to natural will have a bright future ahead of it.
after if we take aspirin, salicylic acid contained in the willow bark, is a natural product, we also did the identical to natural for a very long time, until a chemist added a little something to make acetylsalicylic acid with a much better efficiency, there we leave the identical to natural to go into the "real" synthetic product, have we really created a poison, or potentiated a natural product
and therefore we are in the belief that what is natural is better than what is synthetic, while this is absolutely not the subject, a molecule is an assembly of atoms whether natural or synthetic this are the same atoms, what makes the difference are the functions
nature can produce delicacies by synthesis in passing like honey and terrible poisons like man can produce medicines that save and terrible poisons, Bordeaux mixture is a very good example of this, beneficial in low doses, toxic in high doses whether synthetic or natural it is a question of dosage, for synthetic products it is a bit the same, how many individuals double the doses of weedkiller just in case? it will be more effective ... and then we are surprised that it becomes dangerous, how many blue tomatoes can we observe ...
one of my neighbors had the same harvest of tomatoes this year as the other years, no more no less while everyone suffered from late blight, no blue tomatoes at home yet, I too could have done it, j I still have the "right" synthetic product for this, but I made a choice, the choice that when I grow a vegetable not suited to my region, either I take out the chemical arsenal or I bow if I do not can not adapt my way of cultivating, I inclined, not for fear of the synthetic product because I used it before, just because I think that it is necessary to put nature in its true place, the tomato is not the vegetable best suited to the North, that's all
instead of thinking that "organic" with its total rejection of synthetic products must prevail because it holds the unique truth of eating well, less fundamentalism could have allowed more reasoned agriculture to emerge for a much longer time. reasonable, and we would not only have 6.5% organic, but a much higher number of products of better quality what is now called conservation, but what delay has been taken ...
Only common sense.
I agree 100%.
