Oooooh scrary chemicals ๐ป๐ป๐ป every chemical bad because I don't know anything
I had this conversation with someone recently and while it is dumbest possible expression of this, I think that at the end of the day it is an expression of people knowing that they can't trust companies not to poison them and they can't trust the government to effectively regulate or enforce.
So yes some industrial/food processes are good (pasteurization being the most painfully obvious one) but people have every reason to be suspicious of what is being added to food.
Right, but the rheroric is how scary chemicals are and always stuff like "I can't say this ingredient it must be bad!"
If folks like that only knew what happens to make flour white
