Can someone please explain to me why people are so hostile to this? Like even if you don't care, why would people be against putting less chemicals in food?

Because chemistry is awesome, and chemicals give us amazing modern super powers.

Also, everything is a chemical.

A subset of both natural and artificial chemicals cause cancer, we should identify those carcinogens and not eat those. At least not too much.

Their brains go to mush from the US left-right politics divide is why.
Agreed. We must eliminate dangerous chemicals like dihydrogen monoxide from our food!
Who, whom?
