Your feelings on artificial flavors

In general, I like things natural. Sometimes natural flavors are prohibitively expensive or won't work in a product and there are good substitutes.

I'm not crazy about fresh peaches but I love artificial peach flavor. I could eat a bag of gummy peach flavored candy every day of my life. I shudder to think where artificial peach flavor comes from.

I'm not a big watermelon fan, but I've come to appreciate it in the right place at the right time (Independence day picnics for example) if it's ripe, juicy and sweet. Artificial watermelon flavor? A huge yuck.
