You can’t eat dyes in food when you have died from a pandemic
Good luck selling the salmon at this point if you do that
https://thekitchenknowhow.com/is-salmon-dyed/
Farm-raised salmon would be fine.
Or ‘black’ olives.
Black olives are not dyed black.
That does not describe a process using black dye. That describes oxidation during the curing process.
Does oxidation result in discoloration? If so, they’re dyed! (/s)
Well, ripe olives are naturally black, yes. But many, if not most “black” olives you find on the supermarket shelves are dyed. Look out for “Iron(II) gluconate” on the ingredient list.
Jesus Christ, talk about brain worm logic.
Not everything with a name you think looks funny is some synthetic, bad for you ingredient on par with petroleum-based dye.
FFS, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron(II)_gluconate
It’s literally an iron supplement that people take for iron deficiency and made by just dissolving iron in acid and gathering the participate and it’s completely freaking safe.
God damn, learn to science.
Shit, are you going to complain about acetylsalicylic acid too?
The point I was making is that (most) black olives are indeed dyed black. Nothing more, nothing less.
The EU accepts his concession.
That’s honestly the least unhinged policy he’s likely to push.
Did this worm farm just do something decent?
It says “remove them”, not “forbid them”. The Nation’s food supply is going to be dunked in ammonia before you can eat it.
Adding a “/s” because given the times this sounds weirdly plausible…
I’m going to assume that worm brain will move to ban more than the programmatic petroleum-based additives and ban anything that has a synthetic sounding name.
This is very much a stopped clock situation.
Also, how are they gonna regulate and enforce this, considering the FDA is gonna stop administering food safety?
When the pigeon knocks over the chess pieces, it sometimes accidently makes a good move.
I mean. This was already on its way. I thought Trump would force it to be reversed.
How are you going to enforce thay without inspections, nunbnuts?
YouTube influencers will submit tips to the FDA food dye hotline. Suspects will be immediately sued by the FDA and have to prove their innocence in court. In the mean time, all employees report to RFK ADHD work camps to break rocks searching for healing crystals.
They aren’t! Honestly. I assume that this is just virtue signaling?
I would think that if I wasn’t so certain that RFK Jr was actually a complete moron
Just what I was thinking.
So they found an expert in the field whose last name is Nestle. It’s not confusing at all.
Marion Nestle isn’t just AN expert. She is THE expert in food science. You would be hard done by to find a more qualified and well spoken fount of knowledge.

She literally wrote the book on how nutrition is politicized and obfusticated by capital.
nominative determinism
One of my favorite phrases
TIL, thank you. I’ll be looking out for future statements of her.
Despite jr being a massive fuckwit, this is actually good
For once I’m actually down with something he’s said. A broken clock strikes right twice a day or something kinda thing.
Making Mountain Dew Code Red and Flamming Hot Cheetos bright ass fucking red has always seemed so pointless to me. The only reason people would find uncolored food unappealing would probably come down to conditioning since we were kids. In the US we have literally always had food that was heavily colored all over the grocery store and has always been hard to avoid. And colorized beverages in cans I always found incredibly dumb as 80% of people will never even see the liquid in the first place since they drink it right out of the can.
Exception to be made for ‘Cheetos Orange’
I can just imagine a rant from him about how the crazy liberals don’t want Cheetos to be orange.
Wow. Finally this administration does something that seems like a good idea.
Nobody tell them they will be following the EU’s lead by doing this.
Except they will probably not regulate natural dyes, or even force listing of the replacements. Some of the replacements will not be healthy.
So like usual, it looks good at first sight but will sicken and poison many children and adults instead.
food allergies too!
Definitely hope for the best that we’ll actually get healthy food from this, but expect the worst in that they will fuck it up and somehow make us sicker.
If we can’t have lead paint, we can always have lead food dye /s
I have a relative who developed a deadly allergy to dill suddenly, as in her throat starts closing if she’s in the same room as a pickle deadly. She has a lot of difficulty contacting companies to find out if dill is one of the “natural flavors” in their products, because many will simply stonewall any attempts to learn if she can safely consume their product
Yeah, it’s extremely rare when I read “Trump administration…” followed by an action I agree with. Broken clock and such.
Ehh… natural food colorings are often a lot more allergenic then the artificial ones. So if somebody has a allergy to annato or cochineal some such this could bad news for them.
Two things he stands for that I am in alignment with, banning artificial food dyes and pharma ads. If he succeeds in both those things, he can still fuck off, but do I want those to succeed.
Ban food dyes, artificial or not, or at least limit them somewhat. People have this illogical knee-jerk reaction to the words artificial and natural as if those imply some kind of value judgement. There’s tons of natural stuff you don’t want anywhere near you and plenty of artificial stuff that’s super beneficial, people need to stop assuming natural means healthy and artificial means unhealthy.
Also yes, ban fucking pharmaceutical ads.
Sure but petroleum derived colours contaminated with carcinogens can fuck right off because of at least two obvious reasons. Join us in banning them
What evidence is there that the dyes cause cancer?
I don’t know why I have to google this for you, but here you go https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23026007/
This review finds that all of the nine currently US-approved dyes raise health concerns of varying degrees
EU, Australia and NZ have banned these dyes derived from coal and petroleum because animals consuming them got cancer, or other health issues. Given safe alternatives exist that aren’t derrived from petroleum, there’s no reason to keep using them.
I don’t know why I have to google this for you
This is a social media website. I was conversing. If you didn’t want to respond, you didn’t have to.
Agreed. I debated specifying artificial or what not. I would argue that beet powder is a dye. Nothing wrong with it. The problem exists when the extremes are exercised within the definitions. Companies can’t just color in the lines. Gotta find some way to corrupt it for profit.
