    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 mean, flavor is unnecessary too, we can drink powder for sustenance
