It sucks the way a "normified" word dictates the process we use to make something.
Like, "sugar". We have other ways of sweetening stuff, but sugarcane industries probably have a stranglehold because people see terms like "agave" and think "No thanks, I don't want some weird experimental plant made by communists, I want just plain 'sugar'."
