#3This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think it’s great that processed food manufacturers are trying to replace synthetic ingredients with actual food. I don’t see a problem here.

#4"food scientists" being fed up with untrusting "eaters" should have said food scientists wonder why said eaters lost trust in the products they make. Could this have anything to do with the shit they've put for years in industrial products while not under scrutiny?
Rapists not raping anymore because someone is following them everywhere can't brag about their rape-free attitude.

It would make sense if the deciding factor would be consumer's health. Instead, it's the appearance of being "natural", which is not in itself better than something synthetic or modified: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalistic_fallacy

What exactly is the benefit of replacing Red #40 with red cabbage extract?

The point of the article is that that is a popular opinion.
Whether it's an informed opinion is another matter.

#9From Albania here, (2nd world European country, aka still developing).
Due to its mediterranean weather (1), everything raised locally tastes better. Local food is full of flavor, and things made artisan-ally and locally are still good. Even something simple like a 'Tiramisu' tastes better there, most likely because things are still made to be consumed within a day, and not last for ages. Other countries are similar (Greece, Southern Italy, Croatia, Macedonia).
eg. The difference in taste between a home made jam, and one bought in a supermarket is huge. (mainly for the supermarket one having to have a much longer shelf life, and having additives added).
Unfortunately modernization has reached the country and things are getting more 'standardized' and getting that western level of blandness as well.
Ironically: Fresh locally produced and prepared food is a real luxury in western countries, and a normal commodity in poorer ones.
1) Warm weather is important. eg. Hothouse/greenhouse tomatoes or cucumber are never as flavorful as field raised and ripped ones. The more north you go, the blander/crappier the food gets, mostly due to the weather.
