Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants to strip artificial dyes from your family’s food. His plan targets eight synthetic colors found in cereal, snacks, and ice cream. The FDA claims this will make kids healthier, but it’s really another power grab by bureaucrats who think they know better than parents.
The government isn’t even banning these dyes outright. They’re “asking” companies to stop using them voluntarily. That’s code for backroom deals and pressure tactics. If corporations don’t comply, you can bet regulations are coming. This soft approach shows weakness—either protect consumers or leave businesses alone.
Big Food insists these dyes are safe. They’ve been used for decades without mass illness. Yet Kennedy calls them “toxic chemicals,” ignoring science to push his agenda. This is about controlling what you eat, not safety. Since when does Washington get to dictate the color of your candy or yogurt?
Moms and dads don’t need nanny-state officials making grocery choices for them. Parents read labels. They decide what’s best for their kids. This overreach insults hardworking Americans who just want affordable, familiar foods. Next they’ll come for birthday cakes and holiday treats.
Replacing synthetic dyes will drive up food costs. Natural alternatives are pricier and less vibrant. Families already struggle with inflation—now their cereal might cost more because some politician hates Red 40. Small businesses could get crushed by these unrealistic demands.
Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” slogan sounds noble, but it’s a Trojan horse. Letting bureaucrats redesign recipes sets a dangerous precedent. Today it’s food dyes. Tomorrow it’s portion sizes or banning bacon. Freedom slips away one regulation at a time.
The FDA claims companies are “eager” to ditch artificial colors. That’s a fantasy. Food makers know customers expect colorful products. This isn’t about health—it’s about control. Real change happens when consumers demand it, not when D.C. bullies businesses.
Conservatives must push back against this creeping control over everyday life. Protect parental rights. Protect small businesses. Keep big government out of your pantry. Let Americans choose vibrant, affordable foods without interference from activist bureaucrats.
