RFK Jr likes to think his views on food dyes are pioneering. In fact, he's way behind the curve | Devi Sridhar

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : We actually have more in common with Europe in terms of food safety, and a trade deal with the EU would improve our food safety baseline.
54% : Finding any of those dyes in Britain and the EU is pretty difficult, and they're covered with warnings when you do.
50% : Britain and the EU identified the risks and clamped down on them long ago - Trump's health guru is just playing catch-up One of my favourite memories as a child growing up in Miami was going to the local fair and having bright-blue cotton candy - candy floss, as you'd call it in Britain.
48% : EU governments and the UK government had to step in with this legislation because just leaving it to the food industry wasn't enough.
46% : While in EU countries and Britain food safety guidance has evolved with the evidence and to protect consumer safety, US supermarkets and shops are full of products being marketed and sold to children with multiple Es in them, and additives and colourings that are banned or being phased out in other countries.
41% : Unfettered capitalism is dangerous, with the motivations being sales and producing products in the cheapest way possible, even if they have probable negative health impacts.
