those against "chemicals" in food often demonstrably have no idea what they're talking about. the overloading is a rhetorical attempt to associate fear and lack of knowledge with everyday experience. your defense of this practice is vastly more inane than any objections to it.
I ignore anyone who makes pedantic word-choice arguments when everyone is clearly capable of understanding what's going on. At best, it is more obsessed with their own cleverness than actual discourse, but more usually is just dishonest.
