Skill issue? Not wanting to eat things with ingredients you can't read is a skill issue? This I find strange, especially since I'd want to read ingredients very well, and not have anything with basically chemicals (we're lab rats here in America).
How about:
Hydrogen oxide
Hydrogen hydroxide
Hydroxylic acid
Dihydrogen monoxide
Dihydrogen oxide
Hydric acid
Hydrohydroxic acid
Hydroxic acid
Hydroxoic acid
Hydrol
ฮผ-Oxidodihydrogen
ฮบ1-Hydroxylhydrogen(0)
The last two I struggled for a moment, but the others I got just fine. Is that all having to do with some forms of water or something like that?
Not familiar with the nomenclature on the last two, came from the Wiki on "water". Point being, a lot of "unpronounceable" ingredients are perfectly normal chemicals.
The contents of an apple are less jokey and more to my point:
What I'm saying is that if it isn't naturally occurring, it can't be eaten. This includes something that's GMO'd.
๐ I just listed loads of chemicals that sound "chemically", "unpronounceable", all natural.
And I'll fight you on "GMO'd". Dare you to go to your local produce section and find anything to eat that wasn't engineered by humans. Dare you to go into the woods and forests around your home and find anything to eat, untouched by human modification, outside of mushrooms and acorns and twigs.
Even our rice and potatoes and corn and wheat have been drastically modded. The modern use of speeding up those mods via fucking about with DNA is in it's infancy, not much to see here.
I should clarify that man-made chemicals are not to be consumed. I never thought to make this clarification, especially since a lot of people eat said man-made chemicals, which I would like to avoid at all costs.
