[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]California is also restricting other artificial food dyes in school food:

Locally, FCPS also bans artificial food dyes from school food and food companies are voluntarily phasing them out of many popular foods.[/quote]

^ This shows that Americans care about this and companies respond, voluntarily or when regulated.  [/quote]

Yes that is good news but still way behind on the world bell curve for banning harmful additives  - the bans are still 3 years away and other products banned in the EU that are allowed here will remain.

Many of people who use DCIM are highly educated and have good jobs so they will probably shop much more selectively. The US general public has many people who work very hard/ have multiple minimum wage jobs with no health insurance and probably can’t afford to buy organic from Whole Foods/ Moms.

Many Americans care for sure, but in my experience no where near to the degree that people in other countries worry about what they are consuming.

The answers in this post reflected that - Most PPs expressed outage with the picky rude guests rather than try to understand why they were so alarmed about shelf safe bake products that contain a known carcinogen that can also cause other health problems.

I personally would have eaten the brownies with a smile and thanked the kids —/ but I do understand why some guests from other countries might decline.  [/quote]
