  • to me “pedantic” means that a difference doesn’t matter, and in this case I think it matters a lot.

    “chemical” / “non chemical” (and “natural” / “artificial”) are marketing terms with no agreed-upon meaning and I think the world would be better if we stopped using them - because they overshadow terms which have clearer meanings like “safe” and “healthy”.

    in your strawberry example I’d say the useful metrics are the usual nutrient contents, and if any of the ingredients are known to cause health problems. “% strawberries” would be an objective metric that personally seems kinda meaningless to me personally but at least wouldn’t be misleading.
