Nature has generally been expressed through the color green in art, film, photography and life. For some of us nature is a memory; a green place buried in our minds of a vacation in the Sequoias, of an apple orchard, of the home garden or of a television program on planet earth. It is no mistake that nature simultaneously awakens all our senses and makes us aware of its presence. There are many cultural movements today that defend nature's habitat; with sincere attempts to hold corporations accountable for their negligent destruction of “nature.” The term “nature” is abstract because it captures ideas beyond our everyday perceptions. When we think of natural, we might also think of similar things; of sunshine, trees, gardens or fresh strawberries. The term has the strength of its “inherent” good; the natural is pure “in essence”. “Natural” functions as an adjective, defined by Webster's Dictionary as “existing or formed by nature, as opposed to artificial.” In opposition to natural is “Artificial,” which also has a variety of interpretations, but is commonly used to describe something that is “man-made.” In this context, language can be classified as artificial; it is man-made in the sense that humans develop words and slang to interact with each other. However, when looking at the term “nature,” the double bind is that the language itself is used to describe the abstract concept of “nature” or “natural.” One must intrinsically believe in the power of “nature” through experience for the concept of “nature” or “natural” to exist outside of language. Because the terms are abstract, one way nature relates is through experience, through interpretations that draw on various images of memory. The other way is through other psychological fun... middle of paper... making them biodegradable and keeping them pure and healthy without turning them into a factory. It's better for the environment. But what if your products no longer work or no longer serve their intended purpose? In conclusion, the term “natural” implies a specific ideology and belief behind the word, because it essentially refers to the origin of something. When we think about an origin, we get into religious beliefs, scientific beliefs, cultural beliefs, etc. Overall, the troubling issue behind the use of the term "natural" in relation to food is that there is no specific definition from the FDA and that the origin of belief in healthy, natural food has a concrete definition. Perhaps, perhaps, the problem with using the term “natural” to begin with is its many implications and flawless connection to ideas of nature, the past, and the world that we might only remember as a memory..
