>At this point, 'natural', just means made from atoms, yes atoms are naturally occurring.

That pretty much covers everything in the universe. I've always thought it was natural vs synthesized.

I may be missing some of your sarcasm, but "Gila Monster's venom" meets the strictest definition of natural.

Maybe, sarcasm was aimed at 'natural' being 'harmless' and/or common, because it is 'natural'.

When really, just being 'natural', doesn't mean anything really. There are poisons that are 'natural'.

Like resveratrol. Yes, it is natural and its in wine. But you need to drink many gallons a day to get enough to do anything. But people see 'Natural' and wine, and think it is a license to drink a lot.

See food packaging laws. Natural versus artificial flavorings :)

Have you checked out what qualifies for 'organic' according to laws. The laws aren't a good standard.
