Everything is made of chemical compounds. While scientists can break down a banana to its chemical elements, I would disagree that they can reconstruct a banana by assembling those chemical elements. Food has developed in nature over however long of a time period. It is my opinion that people are seriously mistaken in thinking that they can reproduce things created in nature by re-synthesizing them in a lab. While it may look, smell, taste, and function the same, maybe there is something that scientists are not taking into consideration. Have you ever looked into the soul of a banana?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03824278691673282558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28015963.post-8014519434740377582014-06-18T10:19:03.271-07:002014-06-18T10:19:03.271-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03824278691673282558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28015963.post-50706888323802634312014-06-16T17:59:44.593-07:002014-06-16T17:59:44.593-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03824278691673282558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28015963.post-9007535253532221402014-06-16T06:51:21.871-07:002014-06-16T06:51:21.871-07:00I understand the point of the section tea culture ...I understand the point of the section tea culture section but this part is a bit misleading:<br />"Natural flavors are chemically synthesized in a laboratory. They are artificial; not real food."<br />It would be interesting to see that label for natural tea versus tea with added flavors. Here's a nice article that scratches the surface for natural foods ingredient labeling.<br /><a rel="nofollow">http://www.businessinsider.com/ingredient-list-for-natural-products-2014-1</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11389435313070314491noreply@blogger.com
