>What is real banana? How much processing is allowed for it to be still real? Considering the selective breeding of banana, is banana even still real?
This is arbitrary subjective qualifier, goes somewhere between "isoamyl acetate" flavoring chemical and organic wild forest bananas. I would subjectively say that any grown bananas is REAL while isoamyl acetate made by rectification of amyl acetate is not REAL banana.
Is Baking Powder considered a “chemical”? How about sodium bicarbonate and monocalcium phosphate?
Maybe people are simply reacting to chemical-sounding words.
Add some artificial bacon flavouring, starch and you will get "beef flavoured product" which most people would call "chemical".
