Maybe, but I think it's just a matter of you focusing on the wrong concept. Peter has understandably been vague about exactly what the patent covers, but it has always been very clear that it covers a particular
use of a commercial product. You're complaining about the idea of patenting someone else's product, but he never said anything like that. You're the one who brought up that idea in the first place.
It is perfectly reasonable to patent a recipe, even if all the ingredients are in the public domain, or if some ingredients are patented by someone else.
