The naturalistic fallacy is an informal logical fallacy which argues that if something is ‘natural’ it must be good. It is closely related to the is/ought fallacy – when someone tries to infer what ‘ought’ to be done from what ‘is’.

Don't confuse him with logic and reasoning. He's impervious to it.

Once again your arse has taken over Hermit but there you go. Try reading for a change. I said natural sources.
You did not. You wrote "if I could get a supply of D and D3 naturally I would take it" and "There are no alternative sources". The ambiguity is palpable in the former and plain wrong in the latter assertion.
Never mind. :fp: You misquoted me as well which is against the Rules.
I copypasted your exact words, and there was no cherry picking involved. :lay:
And took them out of context. Lovely...

Leaked files appear to suggest the Conservative peer Michelle Mone and her husband, Douglas Barrowman, were secretly involved in a PPE business that was awarded more than £200m in government contracts after she referred it to the Cabinet Office.

Barrowman, an Isle of Man-based financier, may have played a central role in the business deal that enabled PPE Medpro to sell millions of masks and surgical gowns to the government at the start of the pandemic, documents suggest...
