why fight to stay natural when everything is fabricated in our society nowadays. When i say everything, it's literally all that composes our everyday life. We use cars instead of legs, enhanced agriculture by chemicals to help sustain the population's size and demand for food, some snacks we call food but are basically fats, sugars and sodium without nutritional benefits, or even some of them have nutrients injected into them to help dietary needs from people who eat them innocently or just can't eat much due to gastro intestinal problems, we have chemicals in our hair never worn before such as shampoos, conditioners, soap as a form of cleaning where otherwise would be dependent of hard handwork and water. Air modifiers, painkillers heck even the fruit you buy organically might have left overs toxins in the soil it grew by nearby factories. Not to mention the microplastics from in and outside your house that are into our bodies due to the use of plastic in our current society that even if we stop producing would still be around for more 400 years. The nails we paint, the procedures we do, every single thing manufactured to our comfort from birth to old age in a massive scale. yet we still fight to stay natural, to not use chemicals as if our bodies aren't made of these. almost as if we are trying to win control over something beyond ourselves. a comfort more than a possibility. sure the more less processed things you consume the healthier you might become, but you can't completely escape it. we are all subjugated to the same rules in society and putting so much effort into escaping the unnatural might rob you time, money and sanity, getting you isolated. and we know isolation kills more than many diseases. but again, there is more to staying natural than this obsession. it's about identity, reclaiming who you are, how you were born, thinking that if you do this things might go back to being easy, after all, the moment you were more natural was when you were a child. an innocent little thing, oblivious to the world and it's dangers. you were safe, hearing stories about how your parents or grandparents did things differently, you had this weird nostalgia for a time you never lived in, as if simplicity meant better. as if you could go back in time. in your dreams everything is quiet and now the world is loud and overbearing. maybe being natural, being simple is the answer, it's a trend anyway now isn't it. but you have to learn to see - the escapism you are in - life is not a dream. you are layers of skin dead from the human you were before. the person you are now, how you choose to become, to present, to react, is what constitutes you, chemicals and all. being human isn't about some fight against what you think nature is. being human is about being. agreeing to differences is the first step to make life more interesting, it will always be hard, but it can always be fun, after acceptance you might get some time to rest. it might be more simple than fighting it. 

All that to say, stoicism, change what you can and want but don't ignore things as they are. don't allow yourself into needless suffering.
