When i hear artificial i think fake and or not real. My question is how can you feel taste and use other senses on something that does not exist or is fake or even not real? Artificial flavors are created from chemicals that are either made from other chemicals or natural ingredients. If Something is made from other parts, natural chemicals, and/or ingredients is it really artificial? The definition of artificial is something not made naturally or is made by humans, but humans don't make anything. Humans just aid and provide help in the natural creation of objects. Anything and everything is natural just whether it needs help from humans in creation. A lot of objects need some kind of help in being created the main thing that differs is what helps in the creating. For instance diamonds need help from pressure, heat, and time. Which is an outside force aiding in the creation of an object, but diamonds are not considered artificial. humans are just the outside force that is acting on whatever is needed. In conclusion i do not think artificial is a thing
