Two things he stands for that I am in alignment with, banning artificial food dyes and pharma ads. If he succeeds in both those things, he can still fuck off, but do I want those to succeed.
Ban food dyes, artificial or not, or at least limit them somewhat. People have this illogical knee-jerk reaction to the words artificial and natural as if those imply some kind of value judgement. There's tons of natural stuff you don't want anywhere near you and plenty of artificial stuff that's super beneficial, people need to stop assuming natural means healthy and artificial means unhealthy.
Also yes, ban fucking pharmaceutical ads.
Sure but petroleum derived colours contaminated with carcinogens can fuck right off because of at least two obvious reasons. Join us in banning them
What evidence is there that the dyes cause cancer?
I don't know why I have to google this for you, but here you go https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23026007/
This review finds that all of the nine currently US-approved dyes raise health concerns of varying degrees
EU, Australia and NZ have banned these dyes derived from coal and petroleum because animals consuming them got cancer, or other health issues. Given safe alternatives exist that aren't derrived from petroleum, there's no reason to keep using them.
