Decidi partilhar este artigo que encontrei via WTF, Evolution? para ilustrar o que eu sinto quando alguém me diz que algo é bom ou seguro porque é NATURAL.
Este anfíbio espreme a fêmea para ela libertar os ovos. Muitas vezes este processo leva à morte da fêmea. Mas isso não tem qualquer problema, porque a natureza - amiga que é - arranjou maneira de ela conseguir libertar os ovos mesmo depois de morta, pelo que consegue na mesma ter filhos.

Da próxima vez que pensarem que algo é melhor por ser natural, que funciona com segurança por ser natural, que é correcto porque é natural e por aí fora, pensem nestes sapos da Amazónia.
I decided to share this article I found via WTF, Evolution? to express what I feel when anyone tells me something is good or safe because it is NATURAL.
This amphibian squeezes the female in order for her to release the eggs. Many times the females end up crushed to death. But that's totally fine, because even dead, the female's body retains the ability to release viable eggs when squeezed.
If you want to know more, click the photo.
Next time you think something is better because it's natural, something works safely because it's natural, something is right because it's natural and all that, think instead of these amazonian frogs.
