Caramel coloring is by far the biggest #ArtificialDye by volume. Made with sugar + ammonium, possibly carcinogenic in humans per a 2007 federal toxicology analysis, WHO, and California, but not on #RFKjr hit list. It is huge in Coke, Pepsi, other colas. eatinginamerica.substack.com/p/die-hard-a...

#MAHA helped Trump with RFK, Jr., voters, and influencers. But MAHA has been rebuffed in most goals by #BigFood, America’s biggest lobby, and agricultural interests, as I have reported in EatingInAmerica.substack.com. The TheGuardian.com has a great exposé of how Big Food is controlling food policy.

There is Trump-typical chaos in this, as Trump tries to adjust. Farmers have been buffeted by tariff winds and fleeing migrant workers, as reported in EatingInAmerica.substack.com. Big commodity producers are getting most of Trump’s increases in subsidies this year, while produce farmers struggle.

RFK Jr. says seed oils like canola and soy are “poisoning” Americans and driving obesity. He says we should cook with meat fat instead. The science says otherwise to all this. The real issue is the ultraprocessed food the oils are found in, not the oil itself. What do you think?
