I absolutely share your viewpoint.

As a consumer, I try to think about the ingredients of a product: if it is mostly chemicals (in contrast do agricultural products), then the product probably isn't healthy.

The "chemicals are bad!" scare has gotten completely out of hand.

I'm not at all against chemical additives.

I'm just saying if you're eating something which barely contains any agricultural product, you should ask yourself whether this is really healthy.

well, consider that basically everything is constituted by chemical compounds (an apple contains stuff like epicatechin, phloridzin, quercetin, etc.)
