Isn’t it ironic a Red state is doing something so “woke”?

They were afraid the added colors would make them gay.

gen5notpkmn.bsky.social•11 days ago

So wild that they were attacking the left for wanting to do this a year ago

voidedmike.bsky.social•11 days ago

Right?!

Been the case in Canada for a long time. Maybe the US could apply to be the 11th province.

那么还有其他食品添加剂呢？禁不禁？

Aw man, now how am I gonna tell my Froot Loops apart?

Red Dye No. 2 Lung was killing too many hillbillies. It was a drain on the child labor force.

Now I want fruit loops.

Don't people from WV eat coal for breakfast. I'm all for banning the dyes but it's pretty funny that WV would be the first state to do so considering what they allow in their state.

As someone originally from WV, I can guarantee most residents truly believe this is what's causing their health issues

Not the McDonald's 5 days a week and pepperoni rolls for dinner every night

(Still support this, just ironic coming from such an unhealthy state)

lol they ban dyes in food. Meanwhile, keep bringing your guns to school LOL. The US… full of competence.

And you have people dying from measles , if only there was a way to protect people from that.

But don’t ask them to wear a mask during a deadly pandemic!

idrinkmagatears.bsky.social•10 days ago

Nice to see District 12 doing some good.

redmist27.bsky.social•11 days ago

Well that’s one good thing happening… you are finally joining THE REST OF THE FREE WORLD who already does this. Doiiiii

MAHA!

Fruit Loops will be looking like Cheerios 🤣

But let's make sure to remove the EPA and let corporations poison our earth!

West Virginia leads the nation with this sensible policy.
This was not on my Bingo card.

blindfirepyro.bsky.social•10 days ago

That's a shocker, I thought Illinois or Cali would do it first.

subwaybreeze.bsky.social•11 days ago

Also all sugar in excess of 2g.

USA BETRAYS kids. https://eddmarv.medium.com/and-the-children-shall-lead-them-you-say-you-love-your-children-e917f4c86be6 Food dyes are deemed bad-today-but they aren’t banned until Aug. & in the general population for more three years—& ONLY in WV? https://apple.news/ASFWULrlzR6qFrTBaKXSCWQ @westvirginiawatch.com @demgovs.org @fda.gov @natlgovsassoc.bsky.social @cpsc.gov

Errr, thanks, um, RFK Jr?

dan-steely.bsky.social•11 days ago

Because when I think about health, I immediately think West Virginia.

djdeckard.bsky.social•11 days ago

So coal is fine and healthy but no artificial food dyes? Well, it's a start anyway.

rjo89.bsky.social•11 days ago

To be fair, as long as Trump and RFK say it, they'll follow suit

Even if food dye is probably the worst of their worries in that hell hole of a state (I say this as a previous resident...sadly)
