I am scared of living in a society that doesn't find it obvious that things perfected by nature over millions of years are scientifically speaking, safer than things made by some "scientists" in a lab.

Statistically, the "large n" of nature makes it > scientific. https://t.co/Ot2ia2BoPs
The instinct should be to distrust new lab-manufactured "foods" but too many people want to try new things and share their experiences. They're basically giddy guinea pigs.
