Mr. Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of a product with too many artificial ingredients, questioning why the Canadian version has fewer than the U.S. version. But he was wrong. The ingredient list is roughly the same, although Canada’s has natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots while the U.S. product contains red dye 40, yellow 5 and blue 1 as well as Butylated hydroxytoluene, or BHT, a lab-made chemical that is used “for freshness,” according to the ingredient label.
NYT: Kennedy’s Vow to Take On Big Food Could Alienate His New G.O.P. Allies
The Canadian version doesn't have less chemicals than USA, except all these chemicals that are in the us version that's absent in canada.... they really wrote that
"Everything's a chemical chud, just because it has blueberry juice instead of phthalocyanine blue doesn't mean it has less chemicals!"
I mean, that's dumb, but NYT cannot even make that defense. They admit in their article that RFK talked about artificial ingredients while labeling the Canadian variants as 'natural colorings'.
Of course, natural colorings aren't always good either, though blueberries and carrots are very benign. Here in Europe, one of the natural colorings they foist on us is one made from insects.
I think every country allows incarnadine. Not saying it's good, but I don't think it's been banned anywhere yet.
I mean this crap: https://www.britannica.com/technology/cochineal
It's almost in every red-dyed product here in Europe.
Yeah, it's the same stuff. I got the name wrong though: carmine, not incarnadine. It's one of the most common "edible" red dyes in the world unfortunately. It's practically impossible to find ketchup made without it.
Except our ingredient list wouldn't be allowed to put "blueberry juice" they'd be forced to write "anthocyanin" which is the chemical name for the part that makes it look blue. I wish they would change that rule for natural ingredients so I don't have to hear some of the more loony people on our side whine about sodium bicarbonate in store bought cookies as they add two table spoons of baking soda to their all natural homemade cookies.
"Only like 1 or 2 of the ingredients in the American version are endocrine-disrupting inflammatory poisons."
Because they know most people are retards who never look past the headline.
Frankly, not reading their vapid articles is smart, provided that you don't believe the headlines either.
somebody read that after it was created by AI language, then they submitted it
"Water and hydrochloric acid are the same thing, because both of them are clear liquids! They both even have oxygen in their ingredient lists! Checkmate, drumpftards!" -The NYT.
Hey wait a minute... Hydrochloric acid doesn't have oxygen in its formula... HCl
That's a debunked conspiracy theory. And even if it was true, it would be a good thing.
Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler are the same person, although they have different personalia and have done different things in their lives.
And look nothing alike while being born a century apart.
One conducted a revolution to invoke Racial Socialism, and the other explicitly condemns Socialism.
So the fact check says he's wrong but then lists that he is in fact correct.
Fact checkers are journalists and deserve the same scorn, change my mind.
No one trusts those “fact checkers”.
Even lefties irl don’t even cite them.
you don't hate journalists enough
Also
only the neocons
Extremely biased NYT who have openly shown how much they hate Trump. Clearly a good source to listen to.
I'm half expecting them to still call him "Mr. Trump" after he takes office
They'll call him "Former President Trump", referring to his 45 term.
They'll call him twice-impeached convicted felon.
I continue to believe Mr. Trump will not be president.
Why are you trying to make the food safe, asks absolutely stumped new york times
I like that they list out exactly where the Canadian dyes come from, but make sure to use the General Name for the US ones because they know that if they mention where those dyes come from, it'll disgust people and help RFK's position.
Someone please tell Elon Musk to stop fucking with the Reality Generator
At this point I’m just waiting for articles to omit author names at this point.
RFK needs to do one of those obvious self-pwn corrections.
RFK: "Fruit Loops have over 40 harmful chemicals in them!"
NYT: "Correction: Only 32 chemicals are listed as harmful."
This is on par with severely autistic people arguing for more vaccines because they think autism is better than the risk of having a sniffle
This is why they are the enemy of the people, and how the Left absorbs these lies. It's entirely through rhetorical framing. Weirdly, the Default Left absorb the framing and use the facts as counter-evidence. The first time I saw this was with "Breakthrough Cases" during Covid. "The 'Vaccine' is 100% effective, excluding the extremely rare number of Breakthrough Cases, which effect only account for 26,000 people as of this time and this date at this moment."
Let me re-write this sentence with how the Default Left person reads this.
Okay, now let me re-write this how the Intelligent, Sophisticated, Wannabe-Elite who unironically reads The Economist and listens to NPR reads this:
I’m old enough to remember when libs had a lockdown on health & nutrition.
Then the actual lockdowns happened and they threw away 50 years of having authority on the subject.
Journalists are retarded.
