 Isn't the term "consumer" kind of offensive? 
 whole fucking wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumption_(economics)

word means "to eat" 
 Would you say its equal to the term "glutton" ? 
 Ma offensive 😌 
 Only if they cunsume something what they con from someone in exchange for monopoly money/fiat currency :) 
 not if the consumer.....consumes

question is a strawman.  nearly any word can be kind of offensive if given a suitable context 
 agreed
