Took them long enough. They probably would have figured it out sooner if they spent less time sucking the Lead-based paint off of Hotwheels when they were kids.
Eh, it doesn’t ban those foods. It bans specific chemicals. I don’t know anything about some of them, but potassium bromate is really bad for you and banned in most non-us countries, and titanium dioxide is totally nontoxic as food but basically super kills the people that work in the factories that make it and is banned in europe. It’s all stuff that seems reasonable to ban, and it’s not like skittles or M&Ms or whatever haven’t had points in the past they had to change dyes.
Just another example of the nanny-state at work! I’m sure capitalism will just work this out. People will just refuse to work at companies that deal in deadly chemicals. Right? Right?

Edit: it’s an obscure don’t say gay joke, people.

You know republicans are going to turn this into another culture war, like they did with the gas stove thing,

Funny as they already make non titanium-dioxide Skittles for Europe.
Also i think it’s just to make the white S on them? So it’s not even necessary.

The EU has none of that crap in it. Let’s be more like the EU when it comes to better food.

Better headline:
Skittles and Hot Tamales found to contain dangerous chemicals.
ultraman5068 says
Yet another instance of the government dictating wtf we can and can’t do.
rumblesnort says
Banning tamales, that’s messed-up racsist, Texas ain’t even doing that
