The cigarette industry took over the processed food industry in the late 1980s and 1990s. They're the ones who really popularized these colorings. And they bought off the USDA to say they were safe.

Actually, Charlie, Mr. Paxton, Ken Paxton in Texas, just filed a lawsuit against some of the food companies because he thinks that they knew this many years ago, and he's actually searching for evidence of that. But that's clear.
