Natural and Unnatural

The article we had to read about the words 'natural' and 'unnatural' talks about whether things that are marked as 'natural' are actually better for you than the things which arent marked as natural.

An example I thought of to exhibit this is grape juice. You see the commercials for Welsch's grape juice all the time and they always have a young child telling you that Welsch's is "all-natural". In this case. "all-natural" means that Welsch's doesnt add tons of sugar to their juice, their product is actually made from grapes. So that leads me to believe that some things that are marked as natural really are better for you.

When it comes to the question of whether or not it is natural to wear clothes, the article was right to say yes and no. It isnt natural in the sense that all of us are born naked, and that clothing is something that we add to ourselves every day. Wearing clothes is natural in the sense that all of us do it and that it is illegal to go out not wearing clothes. Dressing ourselves is natural to our society because we all grew up doing that. But it probably wasnt natural to the first society of people who populated the planet
