“US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. says that HHS and the US Food and Drug Administration will phase out the use of petroleum-based food dyes over the next two years to ‘Make America Healthy Again.’ … As long as sellers truthfully disclose what they’re putting in their products, we’re free to buy or not buy — and one positive outcome of the ‘information age’ is that we have instant access to both scientific information and others’ opinion (well-informed or not) on the ingredients in our food. In the normal course of things, I might or might not give credence to RFK Jr.’s opinion on the matter when deciding what to put in my shopping cart and in my body. You might or might not as well. That’s fine. What’s not fine is him just deciding for all of us, whether we like it or not.” (04/26/25)
