Food Additive

They may include preservatives, flavorings, coloring, or whatever, though it's not a problem because it increases their profit margin, and makes fat people more satisfied by the taste. However, food additives may be a "necessary evil" at times.

Boffin
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
