Possibly. All I know is that he's quite interested in #chemicalfree, and correcting the people who say it.
My art teacher (rip) was friends with the person who did the original Smokey the bear illustration.
It was a contest ran with a ton of entries from art schools.
I wonder where this is coming from?

It's really just someone who was sick of hearing chemical free. I have the same thing with hearing organic. Everything I could possibly eat is organic. The only thing that I eat that isn't organic is salt (NaCl. No carbon involved) and water (H
2O. No carbon involved)
Chemical free is a stupid phrase. Doesn't really matter where it's coming from, it's a Twitter troll with an educational purpose.

Oh :D, ok.
Awesome! I recently went organic too.
I thought all that toxic food stuff was malarkey
and that people just were't using moderation, but I feel so much better!
I was pretty far under the appropriate weight, and I detoxed from all the coca cola and fast food, I craved it like never before. Now I'm actually close to being a healthy weight.

I'm confused by the word "natural". What is natural, and what isn't? Is an anthill natural? What about a strip-mall, or skyscraper?
It seems to mean "Made only by humans", which seems to be based on the belief that humans are separate from nature.

You misunderstand me. Even toxic food is organic because it contains carbon compounds. Coca cola and fast food is organic. Synthetic food dyes are organic. Ritalin is organic.

Yeah, that's an odd one too. If it's not natural, it shouldn't exist.

ROFL.... Indeed!
The movement against chemicals does wrongfully demonize all re-aligned particles. (synthesized substances)
Cannot create of destroy matter after all! Therefore everything is natural....

Especially to that douchecanoe.
Individuals not getting the joke is an opportunity to branch a targetted meta joke, on the dumbasses tab, thereby extending the comedic value of the original joke.
Explaining the joke is a limited opportunity to capitalise via condescension/mockery but this quickly kills the funny.

Yeah, but the "I just took a chemistry class" pedantry that refuses to acknowledge the agricultural definition is kind of juvenile on the same level as the "dihydrogen monoxide" joke, IMO.
And for the interested, the term "organic" was originally applied to gardening using organic (as in carbon-life based) soil amendments rather than extracted nitrogen fertilizer. The definition has expanded to also exclude any other synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.

Don't worry about that, if it's an issue with the grill just give us the heads up. If its something like the thing from last week its a server issue and it's something I need to fix.

Many idiots are misusing the term though, so the dislike of the term is intelligible.
Sometimes an asshole subculture will adopt a good idea. This really fucks with the adoption of the good idea by the mainstream. It kinda happened with the green movement, decades ago, which is a shame cos if we'd taken more case of the planet back then, it might not be quite so on the verge of fuxx0red

That is also irritating, in its own very special way.
But I think that when you go too far in the opposite direction, you just sound like a different kind of idiot. Like the "ALL GMOS ARE GOOD, YOU IGNORANT PLEBES" people. I'm like, stop, you're BOTH wrong!

There is no right and wrong, not on the kind of scale you're talking about with GM and Organic/chemical, there is a massive pile of good things and an equally massive pile of bad things. Applying reductionism to it, is like saying science is bad because nuculear bombz :roll:

Yeah, pretty much exactly.
And of course, now the "Organic" label is slowly being replaced with "Sustainable", and that's even worse because while in many states in the US, including Oregon and California, there are ACTUAL LAWS and an ACTUAL LEGAL DEFINITION regarding what can and cannot be labeled "Organic", "Sustainable" is totally vague and unregulated.
