Feeders, food plots and cutover crops! Theres no difference! By the letter of law, natural food sources is different! Some properties don't have ample "natural" food sources, and in some places "crops" are planted with game hunting in mind. Its just bigger than a "food plot!" The same arguments can be had about camo, guns, bows, stands, calls and well, the list can go on forever!
Some folks just have to pump up their egos by putting others down! I say hunt up to the legal limits of your area and don't give a flying flip about what others think! After all, its just their opinion and opinions are like arse holes! Everyone has one, some just bigger than others!
