We don't need artificial colors, preservatives that make food last longer than time itself and high fructose corn syrup in literally everything we eat. We DO need things like the POLIO VACCINE! How can we accomplish both without worm brain trashing our health completely?!

When I was a child, it was called red dye number five. They were all kinds of hearings about banning it. They probably did and now it's called number 37. They've been poisoning us for decades. it started in the food industry with preservatives and pesticides. Big Pharma swooped in with its drugs.

When I say “pay attention to narrative,” this is the kind of thing I mean. Policy discussions don’t operate at face value: official policies and narratives are often vehicles for unofficial policies. It’s just basic critical thinking, but a lot of dems would still rather get dressed in the dark.

I was privileged to have an exceptional liberal arts education that taught me how to think critically about media, political agenda, narratives, and the arts. We do ourselves a serious disservice when we label critical thinking about political strategy as conspiracism or conservatism.

Next they should look at maltodextrin. My happy toddlers started having tantrums when I gave them a new cereal so I compared ingredients and the difference was maltodextrin. I stopped giving it to them and the tantrums stopped. Started whenever I forgot to check ingredients and found maltodextrin.

That's a little misleading. CA banned it from use in foods made available in public school cafeterias. They didn't ban it from the entire state. Though I'd fully support that being done. I try to avoid all artificial coloring.

If you *really* want danger in food, then recreate commercially available foods before the FDA was created to regulate the food industry. I think you'll find it a killer experience.

we know it’s been effecting people and children. it’s a matter of restriction and education for the public. not food companies controlling what foods we research so that we find out when it’s way too late.

Funny how Trump attached himself to a guy who pretends to give two shits about people's health while also attaching himself to people who intend to deregulate food and drug companies.

What took them so long? I noticed definite aggressive behavior in my toddler daughter back in the 70s after she took prescribed medicine that was red. I read Dr.Feingold's research on artificial food colorings and kept her away from most dyes. 50 years ago!
