There's a few different reasons. The first reason is that a petroleum coal tar-based dye is cheaper to put into a product than carrot juice, watermelon juice, blueberry juice that they're using in other countries to color these cereals, okay, and other products for that matter. It's cheaper. The second thing is it doesn't break down as fast, right? Petroleum lasts forever.

Carrot juice, you know, goes rancid. So from a preservation standpoint of how long you can keep a cereal on the shelf... It matters. So it's all about money and it's all about greed. And the same way they're using BHT to line the insides of the cereal bags, it's a preservation thing. And the fact that the FDA has allowed our food companies here in the United States to

to create these chemicals, to approve these chemicals for use under their own safety data, not any third-party regulatory fashion. This is happening in the food companies themselves. They've decided it's okay to use these chemicals. And the FDA hasn't even reviewed, for example, red number 40 since 1971.

And they don't even know the amount that the American public is consuming at this point, which we've done some studies and data and there's been a study done in Purdue University about how it's been a dramatic increase in terms of over 500% increase since food dyes were introduced to our food supply in terms of how much we're actually consuming as the American public.

And

This is something that food companies continue to do because no one's holding them accountable. And this is why I had to march to Kellogg's headquarters to do this. Because no one's doing it.

Right. Yeah, we have we have the worst food system in the world. And we have all of the big food companies that are American food companies making better, safer products overseas for all these other countries. And this is something that has to be addressed. First of all, I believe that it is a moral obligation, an ethical obligation. If you can make your product safer, then you should do that.

And not doing it is anti-American, especially when it's an American company doing this. And the worst part about it is that these food companies know their product is causing harm because 20 years ago, when the Southampton study came out, European regulatory agencies decided that they would put the cigarette-type warning label on any product that contains dyes.

And when they did that, these food manufacturers in America didn't want that warning label. They said, oh, no, we don't want to warn parents that this could cause hyperactivity. So we're going to voluntarily remove these chemicals from our products and we're going to create a safer version for all of these other countries. That right there is completely sinister.
