  2. I think this should be a national policy!! There are zero nutritional benefits from consuming synthetic dyes, any many potential health hazards. Turns out that my favorite barbecue sauce has THREE synthetic dyes, while similar brands have zero!! FFS!!!

    I know I’m not the only one curious to see what stuff looks like without all the dyes.

    > Gov. Gavin Newsom on Saturday afternoon signed a bill that will ban schools from selling Flamin' Hot Cheetos and other snacks, candy and baked goods that contain synthetic food dye additives.

    > "Our health is inextricably tied to the food we eat – but fresh, healthy foods aren't always available or affordable for families," Newsom said in a statement Saturday.

    > "We know that high quality nutrition is foundational to our students' wellbeing and ability to learn. As someone who depended on school meals growing up, I know how critical it is that our children have access to food that is healthy and never harmful," said state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond, who is running to replace Newsom as governor in 2026.

    Goes into effect 2028, honestly should start sooner. Food additives are getting worse, at least this is a small win.

    Newsom has been doing a much better job this year. He also seems to be acting more moderate and not acting like a nutty progressive. I like this new version of him.

    The whole TTIP thing was sunk because people got wind of the fact that the EU having to lower food standards and accept crap like chlorinated chicken. US can have those standards too, just vote blue.

  9. I can just hear my father now:

    That commie punk wants to tell kids that they can’t have blue food. This has Satan and George Soros’s fingerprints all over it! First they take away the blue food, next thing you know, it will be legal to marry your dog!

  10. This should be happening more.

    Revelations in science continue to prove that we are being slowly poisoned by industry and they are willing to hide it.

    Good luck finding healthy people to work to death.
