It's not crazy. It's economics and politics. Food manufacturers are a powerful lobbying group and additives make a significant difference to profitability.

- fumblebee 4y agoIf, in this context, we're defining crazy as disturbing and unpalatable, then I struggle to see how "Food manufacturers are a powerful lobbying group and additives make a significant difference to profitability" _isn't_ crazy. The statement is factually accurate, but wow-oh-how messed up is it that by means of lobbying, they have the power to harm consumers to increase profits. (And no, I know this phenomenon is not limited to the food lobby)
- me_me_me 4y agothey are both right and wrong at the same time and also in the same camp on untested food adjectives People and language are not math.
