It depends on how you define "natural." What is your definition?

If you use this particular definition (found on an online dictionary [adj.]):

10 a : growing without human care; also : not cultivated <natural prairie unbroken by the plow> b : existing in or produced by nature : not artificial <natural turf> <natural curiosities> c : relating to or being natural food

It definitely is NOT natural.

Again, which definition are you using?

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
