For the same reasons they do it with meat, fruit, vegetables and other foods: control, consistency, easier to mix with other ingredients like sweeteners, stabilizers and preservatives.
Most food companies don't treat food the way households do, but as raw material for creating a product.

I've always wondered this, and imagined a pit of mash that was just formed into fry-shapes.

Am I overly cynical that I still don't believe this? Here's video footage of the process, but my distrusting, questioning mind still adds "supposedly" to its assessment of everything I see here.

Teaching kids to work through emotional pain... with physical pain?

Yeah, I totally thought of you when I was typing that.

I guess it comes down to why you label people the way you do. If you judge someone on his motivation, such as if someone kills another person because their religion tells them to, I guess I'd understand you'd labeling them as a "Religious Terrorist".
I think the reason you see people/media/politics avoid doing that, is because it's unfair to all the people of that religion who are otherwise exactly like you and I.

Nazi's were a militant political movement that had an agenda for genocide.
Islam is a religion that includes people who are acting militantly and citing their beliefs.

Islam != Nazi's
Islam = Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, et al

This would be a lot easier if we could just eliminate all religion.

If the media used such terms it would encourage widespread racism and vigilante-ism against a whole group of people that don't deserve it, or have anything to do with it.
By not using Islam or Muslim in their descriptions of these attacks, the media is practicing a good deal of social-responsibility, because hindsight teaches us what happens when you place entire groups of people under the umbrella defined by a few.

We should just use "angry person" as a synonym for "terrorist", and understand that Western culture is an offense to the rest of the world, and needs to change. If you don't think your culture needs to change, look at your politics, look at your economy, look at your communities, and consider that all this violence might actually be in response to the same things you're mad at yourself.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed. The title is basically a euphemism in itself.

I'll be in my bumble-bunk....

I haven't yet made it through the whole thing, but I'm going to *promote this just for his India/Indian rant at the beginning. Awesome.

You always post the best videos!

I really wanted to know how these work. Great video.
