    Wonder which conspiracy theory he read about it this time? Why don’t you focus on removing microplastics, pollution, prescription drug runoff, farm runoff, and CO2 byproduct contaminants from our water supply before you start running fringe bullshit programs?

      To be fair this is the first thing he’s done that seems actually reasonable. The EU has banned a lot of the synthetic food dyes already and at the end of the day I can’t think of any situation where we actually need these food dyes. Like oh no my hot sauce won’t be as bright in color and might actually look like it’s made of peppers

      probably his portfolio… perhaps invested in a company or startup that is ‘poised to dominate’ the ‘natural food coloring’ market. all they need is a window of opportunity to pounce and exploit.

      I am very much not an RFK fanboy, but how is this a fringe bullshit program? Removing additives from our food seems like it’s all upside; maybe they aren’t harmful, but they don’t help either, they’re only used to get us to buy more food. That other stuff is definitely important too, perhaps even more important, but… if he’s going to be fucking around in there I’m content that he’s at least doing something that seems positive.

        Because everything he says and does is based on a conspiracy theory, and not actual studies, facts, or peer-reviewed information, which he objectively hates and denies to be fact.

          Ah, that makes sense. I mean, broken clocks and all that, ya know? If it results in the accurate time being told, even if only for a moment, I’m not going to turn my nose up at it.
