The Guardian is basically useless to link to now. It's paywalled every article.

And watch it be rolled back because a certain someone once thought that bringing back lead paint and incandescent light bulbs is a great idea.

I grew up in the US, but live in Japan. Seeing, both in the occasional box of goodies we get but also on YouTube, the colors of US food shocks me at this point. I'm sure there are healthful dyes, but there are plenty of bad ones that are constantly in use in junk food.
