RFK to ban all artificial coloring in 2 years
« on: April 22, 2025, 01:07:08 PM »
It began with just 1 red artificial color.  Now it will be all. 

And the plan in 2 years is so the next admin cannot undo this until after the change has been competed.

I'll be that DNC orgs will fund lawsuits.  But they forget that many companies already make 2 types of products. 1 with artifical dye's and the other without when they sell to places that ban them like Canada and the some EU countries.

i watched a woman's press conference on this.  One point she emphasized is how certain products from certain customers market one version to other nations without these dyes, and a different version for US consumers.  Many of the US dyes are created from petroleum components.

It's smart to have a spokesperson be the public face of RFK's efforts.  His vocal problems tend to interfere with his message, IMO.

Lets see how the fake news will handle this and we can put it in the other fake news thread later.

I question the claims of all the risks of the artificial colors but I generally support this idea overall. Artificial colors have some benefits but I can't really think of a good argument not to go all natural.

Name one health benefit of artificial coloring chemicals.

i'm not talking about the marketing benefits or satisfaction of consumers.  Those are subjective and only benefit the sellers in the end -- i.e. getting more people to buy.

I'm also not talking about natural coloring substances which may be used -- only artificial, meaning produced by man.
