I'm the PP who is sensitive to artificial flavors and colors and dyes and I only eat the brown ones.

Certainly, some people can be more sensitive to food dyes than others. But that doesn't make them "bad" necessarily. I mean, there's nothing nutritious about candy but I wouldn't categorize them as bad, either. Of course, if you have asthma (or whatever) and are sensitive, then you should avoid them. But that's not really how OP described the sister, at least not how I took it. Your response was "I'm sensitive so I need to avoid..." while it sounds like OP's sister monologues about toxins in the food supply. At least that's how I took it.

If you have a sensitivity, yeah, play it safe. That makes sense. If not, no big deal. Enjoy them once in a while.

In our house, M&M's a pretty rare treat, given only one or two at a time. I really don't worry about it.

How do you think the brown ones get brown if it's not food dye?

+1 You guys realize the shell is not chocolate, right?

Because that's what JLo says. And generally crap mixed together is brownish. It's never canary yellow or lipstick red (or any of the m&m vivid colors).

Last I checked brown is red, yellow, blue and black mixed together.

I think my kids have only had them a few times. If they want chocolate, they can have plain, no dye chocolate. Beyond its fun, serves no purpose.

Shouldn't it be "IS eating M&M's bad?"

The food dye has caused brain damage.

As opposed to the non-eating ones?

Thanks PP... now I have an image of a roaming pack of carnivorous Pacific Man like creatures stuck in my head...

(It's kind of awesome...maybe too amusing. I should go to sleep)
