Naturally Derived

When products cannot achieve their mission of efficacy or cost through unadulterated natural sources, they adopt the moniker 'naturally derived'.

Heroin is naturally derived. So is meth. High-fructose corn syrup and BK's Impossible Whopper are naturally derived (the latter using a fungus/fermentation reproductive process for the primary protein).

Here is a list of things that are naturally-derived, but aren't necessarily good for you, even with 'naturally derived' labels:

  1. potassium cyanide
  2. politicians
  3. lead bullets
  4. lawyers
  5. hemlock
  6. opium
  7. acrylamide
  8. dimethylacrylamide
  9. zombies
  10. zither music
