    The answer is yes. Everyone around me thinks the crap they allow in our food is bad for us. Europeans done have the same issues we do with food because they’re much more regulated.

      Without evidence of course. Just the same lack of critical thinking that RFK has. It “seems bad” and “it’s chemicals”.

      BS.

        Avoidance of completely unnecessary chemicals is just reasonable. I don’t need to be sold on not adding something that isn’t needed. Why would you need proof that being marketed to with bright colors is not worth a health risk?

          You’re focusing on things that in moderation didn’t actually have any negative effects. At the same time, harmful chemicals from deep frying foods that are actually with diseases get a free pass

          I agree with banning any dye that has evidence of harm, but let’s not get it twisted. Americans are unhealthy because of eating too many calories, too much processed meat, too much fried food. This change won’t make any difference

            Dyes are unnecessary and should be removed anyhow. No one here is saying everything else you mentioned is less important. All these things would make a difference.

                  I don’t eat those dyed processed foods, but most dyes are not harmful when eaten in small quantities, the quantities in foods.

    I mean I don’t care. At least then I wouldn’t have vaguely orange spoons after making Mac-n-cheese.

      You don’t care? You don’t care that you are being poisoned but you’re kinda happy your spoons won’t have a funny color.

      Is this the American Educational system in practice?
