Changing words like that is Orwellian '1984' like speak. We conservatives usually are the ones fighting chanes to our language like "chairperson" or "chair" instead of "chairman", "humanity" instead of "mankind", "Ms." instead of "Miss" or "Mrs."

Changing the name of a food product is on par with that Orwellian warning of how language can be used as a tool against free thought.
