    Yeah, I had a roommate that claimed to have a reaction to red dye #5, so he’d avoid stuff like Hawaiian Punch or Hi-C, IIRC.

    On the one hand, I get it - if these things really are carcinogenic or cause hyperactivity, maybe they should be reconsidered. However, everyone already has the agency to choose to consume that or not, since it’s labeled.

    Meanwhile, the cons are trying to remove agency in many other areas. If they act like this is some big win, I think they are mistaken. I already had the agency to not eat processed foods, including ones with certain dyes in them.

    If they completely disrupt vaccinations and crater herd immunity, that’s another thing entirely.
