The "something" in question is elements. Barring the very inadvisable edge case where you're ingesting some kind of pure metal or degenerate matter there is not anything you can eat that does not contain chemicals.

Complaining about a food containing "chemicals" makes about as much sense as calling out the software you use for being compiled from "code".

The fact that she was cheating on her partner and lying to you is independent of the fact that she was conservative.

People need to stop taking about them using terms that imply thought or consciousness, because it subtly feeds into the idea that they are capable of such.

It's more than a feeling.

Right? The fact that this is an extra bit of tracking information I don't want makes this an easy sell for anyone looking for a reason to do this, but for me it's because it just makes links uglier.

Raising a question means what you think it does. Bringing up a question which is a natural consequence or follow-up to a previously stated point.

The original meaning of begging the question is quite different and is a form of circular argument where the premise of an argument already assumes its conclusion is correct.
