Is this one of those "if Trump cured cancer the left would be pro-cancer" moments?
"Trump cures cancer, oncologists out of a job"

No cell is illegal.
Saying the invasive cancer will form dysfunctional tissues harmful to the host and outbreed non-cancer cells is a nazi conspiracy theory.
One cell type, the human cell type!
There are psychopaths who intentionally cripple themselves because they believe they're 'trans-disabled', and of course we all know about the 'bug chasers' who seek out AIDS as some kind of faggot cred, wouldn't at all surprise me if there are lunatics who desire having cancer for the prog clout.
go back to india you dalit
Trump could solve all the genetic mysteries to make us both immortal and change gender seamlessly and would STILL be called transphobic by the left.
Aside from that, good news, keep it up America and make your food cleaner and healthier than the Europeans so they lose the one thing left they gloat about.
Its easy to eat clean, the problem is time and cost, because in order to do so you have to make everything from scratch, all the way down to things like mayonnaise (so as to avoid vegetable oils, which are in all store bought mayo) and mustard (again, vegetable oils), which both costs more and takes more time than most people are willing to commit to.
Not just making, but preparing. Plastic leeches into food, particularly at higher temperatures. I remember when mayo and peanut butter and so many other things came in glass jars. And pasteurization (which lets you get away with lots of unsanitary conditions) is basically heating your product while it's in the container.
Go far enough back, and you had cans of nuts with a paper insert to keep them from touching the metal.
Back then, of course, people who manufactured food understood that they were serving their neighbors, their countrymen, their people, and valued wholesomeness, making the best quality of a product they could, instead of extracting the most money they could out of slop.
I'd say eating clean isn't JUST the issue, getting these things out of the food chain and production is the bigger thing as a lot of these things are covering for practices that are draining the nutrients from the land than a more sustainable model.
Chosen foods has an avocado mayo that’s like 4-5 ingredients, no other oils, it’s ~9 bucks a container though. Mustard you can find relatively easily with minimal ingredients and is vastly easier to make than mayonnaise. There’s a few chip brands that are three ingredients with only avocado oil as well for decent snacks. When i did keto for a year I got pretty good at roasting my own almond/ nut flavor mixes which is an easy snack too. Hummus and baba ganoush are pretty easy to make with a food processor, toum is tricky like mayonnaise but amazing.
Can you even make mayonnaise without vegetable oil? My wife sometimes makes mayonnaise in house but it's mostly sunflower oil.
Yes, with olive oil or avocado oil. I can't vouch for the taste, though, never made any myself.
--edit-- On looking it up, mayo was originally made with olive oil, before the widespread adoption of vegetable oil.
olive oil will result in an extremely bitter and practically inedible mayo, at least the type you usually buy when buying "olive oil" at the shop.
i can attest to this and also attest to the pain of having to throw that much mayo and used olive oil away...
You can easily swap out avocado oil or olive, most stores use soybean or sunflower oil anymore
Pissed me off when I bought mayo 'made with olive oil' and only bothered to read the ingredients after I got home. Yeah, it has some olive oil in it. Still mostly soybean oil.
That’s the gimmick. To be fair the “with” brands were still selling at 4 bucks a container
Best case for artificial food dye is that they're harmless. The worst case is that they are not, and we've already got evidence that some of them damage development in children.
There's no legitimate reason to use something like that even if the risk isn't fully proven for something so frivolous as making a fake color brighter in food.
"Listen. If I can't use food dyes, then people won't eat my product, because it's the lowest quality potato I could find fried in the worst quality oil I could find. It looks and smells like a nightmare before we dress it with this shit."
I just recently drank some Prime. It was clear. It was blue razzberry flavor.
I also had one that was cherry popsickle flavor. It, too, was completely clear.
Prime, as I understand it, is a zoomer/gen-alpha meme drink, albeit one that is at least a good tasting product. It is popular. Zero colors. Unnecessary.
I hate to defend CNN here but I just watched the video this screencap is from and it seems like they actually agree with the ban? Unless I missed something this post title seems misleading.
The part i caught was Gupta saying there was no known negative side effects in humans, its was cheaper, and created the brighter colors people “wanted” in their food.
Food additives have a really weird regulatory framework that effectively seems to operate under the presumption of safety, so if there's chatter that studies are starting to show something might be amiss with a given additive, manufacturers can proactively swap in new things that have no record of causing issues (because they have no record at all). This, along with cost savings, is why our favorite processed snacks don't hit like they used too: they've all got a treadmill of shifting ingredients and aren't same as we remember. The Twinkie of Theseus, if you will.
He does do a "correlation not causation" bit and implies that, since the dyes are usually found in ultra-processed foods, it could be the ultra-processed aspect of the foods that are the source of harm. But I wouldn't have described it as "shilling" after seeing that video.
Right here he advises to not eat so many of those ultra-processed foods enter text
Reddit's favorite mid-wit retort, so unsurprising CNN plays to it.
Multiple correlations lead to a proper hypothesis and leads to some actual science. But they just hand-wave it away, if they don't like what they think the hypothesis might be, to support whatever the NPC flagbearer shouts today.
Meanwhile he'll tell you cigarette companies are super bad because they're modified to make them more appealing and addictive.
Which, from someone who completely removed processed foods from their diet, everything on that table looks exceptionally gross to me precisely because it's so unnaturally colored. That table is a dystopian masterpiece of our fucked up food system.
There's nothing like turning your toilet green after eating too much Blue No. 1.
The thing you're missing is that your measured reply has 3 points and the sensationalist op has 21 points, therefore you are wrong. Your mistake was wasting all that time watching the video instead of just posting directly with your amygdala.
So the leftist that hate oil and want alternative fuel options but hate the world's largest electric car maker and want petroleum dyes
Yes. The left is unironically nothing but hate. They define themselves not by what they want to build, but rather what they want to destroy.
They don't really want alternative fuel options, they want to eliminate fuel and electricity entirely.
This is pretty on point for them actually. These are the same people who push ultraprocessed soy glop as part of their vegan agenda, Trump or no Trump. They're out to poison you.
