Maybe. A more interesting discussion is about consumerism - and whether over-consumption can be curbed by prohibiting the manufacture of products that appear to only exist to psychologically encourage excess. Or whether we're willing to ban products that *have* a documented connection with illness.

Coal tar dyes were invented in 1856 by William H. Perkin, an eighteen-year-old chemistry student, in London, England. While experimenting to find a treatment for malaria . . . Dyes from coal tar gave maraschino cherries their bright red color.
