The FDA is a joke.

In other news, soda isn't good for you.

 

[0roo0roo]

Sounds like overzealot idiots fucking trying to be fucking idiots and hyperbole everyone to boredom. I don't drink soda, I've lost a lot of weight since cutting it out of my diet. It's not very healthy for you, but if assholes want to be unhealthy assholes. Let them. This is why we shouldn't fucking be forced to pay for everyones health care. If you don't want to take care of yourself and fucking pay your way, fuck you go die.

This isn't related to the FDA.

Reading is FUNdamental.

So something food related isn't related to the Food and Drug Administration. Ok, thanks for the heads up. Doesn't change what I claim either way, btw..

California law

The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer advocacy group, in February filed a petition with the Food and Drug Administration to ban the use of ammonia-sulfite caramel coloring.
A spokesman for the Food and Drug Administration said the petition is being reviewed.

Correct. FDA doesn't have a damn thing to do with this yet.

No, it just makes it irrelevant to the thread. Me pointing that out doesn't mean I disagree with what you said, btw..

The FDA needs to make NASA go put a sticker on the Sun, because prolonged exposure also causes cancer.

 

[JimmiG]

Everything causes cancer if you drink/eat tons of it...

They should just outright ban soda-pop altogether.

"War on Pop", Dr. Seuss could write a sequel to "Hop on Pop"

Isn't is a bigger question why they need to use carcinogen for food colouring? I mean you can pretty much create any colour you want with existing safe food colouring.
