My point exactly. Nothing is natural for humans except for perhaps some tree fruits from Africa.

So saying "it's natural" is bs.




You have canine teeth for eating meat instead of tree fruits. Your body can also extract nutrients from this fungus versus merely passing it like if you ate some wood or something else entirely non-nutritious. You might be one of those people who are able to process lactose effectively. None of these things are unnatural to our species if we have natural mutations in our population that confer these adaptions.

Probably not cows and pigs though. Maybe sobe birds. Maybe monkeys. Raw. Also no significant natural resistance to salmonella.

I'm sure I have exactly as much genetic adaptations to eating psylocybin mushrooms as I have for eating death caps.
