One of the leading industries in the world is the chemical and drug industry. It is undoubtedly central to the world economy. They have always had the upper hand when it comes to things like drug distribution.
Yet, in modern times, traditions are being questioned. Consumers have started exercising their rights. They are questioning and studying the policies of these giants. They are paving way for transparency.
It is immensely important to be aware of what the industry is feeding us, whether what we see is truly what we get.
Alertness regarding chemical substitutes and adulteration must be imbibed in the minds of citizens.
In a similar effort, to open the eyes of the public, this succulent needs to be written.
'Halite' is a chemical compound that we commonly use in our household. Due to the domination of the chemical industry, it has become a part of our diet as well.
The compound is made from elements that cause severe burns on human skin. They are devilishly toxic.
Halite is also composed of chlorine, the greenish colored gas that was used as a weapon in the World Wars.
It is commonly used in many brands of shampoo and toothpaste. The above commodities are inedible. Yet we consume halite daily.
Halite is lethal to the extent that, the very contact of it with ice/snow causes it to melt.
Rubbing this compound on exposed skin causes wounds to deepen and immeasurable agony.
It does not spare invertebrates such as snails and slugs as well. Contact of this compound with the derma results in dehydration of the slug causing it a slow but certain death.
In conclusion, halite is harmful to everyone. It is poisonous to say the least.
It should be banned. Right?
Let's take a look at what this compound really is...
It is "COMMON SALT".
No, I'm not joking. The compound ‘halite’ is just the mineral name for NaCl.
The reason why many would believe it to be harmful is because of the "Dihydrogen monoxide parody". In reality, we know that salt is perfectly edible and safe to consume. Yet, I didn't write any false information about this compound.
THE DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE PARODY:
Dihydrogen monoxide is simply another name for water.
In the experiment, water was referred to as dihydrogen monoxide. The chemical name is something that the general public would not know about. They brought to light some of water's well-known properties in a disturbing manner.
For example, stressing on how it corrodes iron, and how it’s composed of flammable elements.
As a result, people presumed it to be harmful.
The key takeaway from this experiment is how facts and statistical data can be manipulated to deceive the public eye. This is not just bounded to the chemical sector but to various fields of life such as politics, product marketing, and journalism.
Half knowledge is far more dangerous than none.
Therefore, read between the lines, but be sure to read all of the lines.
PS. If you have diabetes, you must most definitely ban halite. If you don’t want to suffer alone, you could show half of this succulent to your friends. They would all ban halite with you.
I must admit this was truly the primary purpose of writing this succulent.
You can thank me later. *wink wink*
ASSAULT THE SALT!!! YEAH! - Sayali Patukale
