These are heady times my friends. I feel like huddling together and having a moment to realize what all of this portends. It’s fucking scary.

"If Red No. 3 can be banned based upon exposure levels 24 thousand times greater than the highest allowed human exposure, and a mechanism that is relevant in rats but not in humans, then you can get almost anything banned."

Huh, you kinda changed my mind on this?

As a Canadian, I do think that a lot of American food looks toxic, and far over coloured, but knowing that this is based on such bad science really calls the ban into question

As a person who is allergic to food dyes, I’m excited. As a skeptic and science-based human, I’m annoyed. 😂

You see a lot of this happening, unfortunately.
