I was really stressed out about this as well. And I came upon an article about spirituality. In the article is says that it’s important when eating to be intentional and think that the food is nourishing, and apparently it becomes it. There’s a few experiments on water and rice and how speaking bad words to rice made it mouldy. So our thoughts and words matter a lot . I hope this helps

Oranges originated in Asia in what is now called southeast China. Cultivated for at least 7,000 years in India and in China since 2,500 BCE and documented in China since 340 BCE, sweet orange (Citrus x sinensis) is a hybrid between pomelo (Citrus maxima) and mandarin (Citrus reticulata). So, you can't say orange is entirely a human made product except the sweet one.

NATURAL means of nature (created by God), everything else is un-natural by degrees created by MAN. Man also performs alchemy (transmutation) on him self to get what we call race. ALL is a transmutation, a degeneration from the ARCHETYPE. In humans case; transmutation of archetypal man who is the so called black man. The state of non duality. Transmutation in to duality created what is called other races, but are lesser degrees of the archetype. Things do occur in nature yes, but is not typical of nature. Because there are always exceptions, anomalies.

[@erlannderrantem6972]

Well it depends on the definition of “natural”. I think in this case natural means without the interference of humans, opposed to cultural and in this regard she is right. Although you could argue that culture and nature are not mutually exclusive and the human kind is part of nature and therefore it is not unnatural. Another point is that certain animals are also selecting for the best fruits and thereby change how the plants propagate.

She's speaking the truth. Partly. Agricultural methods, over time, have created a lot of the plants & animals we are familiar with, using natural interbreeding or selecting for traits we desire. Seedless fruits or corn or high-yield dairy cows are examples of this. However, GMO foods are NOT naturally occurring foods. Traditional cross-breeding methods are not used for GMO. The orange she is holding is still produced non-GMO. It has not been laboratory genetically altered. It may not be ancestral, but it IS altered through natural crossbreeding.

So, what she doesn't mention is what created the orange - the mandarin orange (which is very sweet and also the ancestral citrus to many other types of citrus) and the pomelo (which is much larger and where the orange get's its size, and slightly bitter, which actually tones down the sweetness of the mandarin). She's not wrong in that the orange is a hybrid, but it is still natural in every sense of the word. Most of the vegetables and fruits we eat nowadays are, and most of the time, that doesn't really remove any of the nutrients we need (sometimes it actually improves them.)

I find that interesting when you consider they are like the only animal that has a stomach capable of brute forcing some tree bark. Whereas things like beavers and termites have special enzymes for digesting the bark. But I believe it.

[@ElectromagNick]

Don't you get wildly different apples every time you plant the seeds, even when from a specific cultivar? The only ways to control that is either grafting or brute forcing mass hybridization, selecting the best results? Or was that a myth?

[@Evilpricetag]

@ElectromagNick so.. I looked into it last night and the biggest factor was all the different apple tree species accidentally growing along the silk road and cross pollinateing all along that trade routes, it was caused by humans without us doing it deliberately. Apples were generally harvested wild for many centuries before formal apple farms popped up. However my real target is citrus fruit, like lemons because there was a meme going around that they are man made, but the wiki even tells you the origin is unknown as well as citrus in general. The wiki is also adamant that Oranges are man made, and kinda glosses over being in 314 BC Chinese literature, but then just jumps to the 17th century. All citrus fruit of that family originate from the same Southeast Asia location, they are very interfertile and vert prone to mutation. And sometimes to note is that limes are yellow when ripe, and oranges tend to be green when ripe in several countries based on climate, and they would be green where they originate from too. It gets kinda deep and pretty sure most of the articles are just touting what they believe, but not necessarily facts.

Selective breeding doesn't mean they are not natural. Humans only selectively bread different species to create these fruits. The process of selective breeding is a characteristic trait of nature.

[@rull_7610]

The meaning of natural is that it doesn't involve humans interfering, so in this case, she's right: selective breeding is artificial selection, not natural selection. But selective breeding is not bad; it's not like some science lab BS; it's what commonly farmers do throughout the centuries. This is what causes the evolution of the fruits.

Selective breeding is NOT the same as GMO. As long as there are seeds it is plantable and you can grow your own. She is right about ancient fruits and vegetables. Fruits are sweet and you need to get as much fiber as possible. Vegetables are more dangerous due to lectins and their ability to cause conditions like arthritis. Vegetables do not want to be eaten but fruits do, thus the colors.

She did not say that hybrids don't naturally occur, she said that fruits that we have today aren't the same as their natural counterparts found in the wild; and that these lasts have been either crossbreeded, or selectively breeded to fit people's tastes. So some (not all) of the fruits we eat are different from their original forms because humans were involved in their evolution, but they are still the same species as the originals. Kind of like how men tamed wolves (canis lupus) and "created" dogs (more like evolution influenced wolves to become dogs but whatever), dogs are technically still wolves, (still canis lupus), but they are a sub-species (canis lupus familliaris). Idk about all the fruits we normally eat but I am pretty sure all the examples she used were correct, you can check it with some research yourself.
