1. I searched YouTube and found tons of videos on the topic. And ironically, there are many who not only defend the practice, but also find it perfectly normal. Have a look at the Harvard food science lecture. Food is chemistry; chemistry is food according to them.

   They will say that cooking itself is a chemical process that alters the very nature of food, e.g. caramelization.

   My own objection is to the use of such process to deceive, and not so much the inherent food chemistry itself.

2. The fact of the deceit unfortunately undermines any industry claim that it’s harmless: if it’s harmless, why hide it? I suppose it’s a continuation of the furious fight the food processors have always mounted against any law or regulation that requires them to label their products accurately. The fact is, they WANT consumers in the dark about the product they’re buying (and even how much it weighs). They fought the nutrition facts label for years if not decades, they fought and continue to fight any requirement to label foods from hormone-treated animals, they don’t want to label irradiated foods as such—hell, they even fight labeling foods to show from which country they came.

3. No doubt. They know that if people knew what they were doing, they wouldn’t buy it.
