>>>How about the idea that it serves absolutely zero purpose, and could cause cancer?
I'm not going to bat for Red Dye specifically (I'd be perfectly happy for it to never be added to food), but I generally like a society that's default-allow more than default-deny. A lot of people will argue that certain things serve "zero purpose" because it's not something they personally care about. But presumably somebody wants their food to be red, or why would anyone be adding it?
I agree - except - we have a purchased and lobbied FDA that is not serving the people.
There is poison in our food.
So until there isn’t poison in our food, I think we reform the agency and go a little harder on the MBA led organizations that got us here.
