This is what I like to see happen in the New year. some food companies have artificial dyes from their products. General mills promise to change the color formula for many of their cereals by the year of2017.One of the worst is Trix. How about the Kraft macaroni and cheese/ Kraft so they say synthetic colors would no longer be part of the recipe of the popular and decidedly unnatural Marconi and cheese. they need to do this for the sake of our children. Your take on this?

food colourings rarely affect the taste so the natural food colour would be fine for me

It sure would be great if they would ban the artificial dyes, it is definitely unhealthy.

i have never understood why so many ingredients in food, including dyes, are banned in Europe since a long time but are still allowed in US.

If we buy products that have better ingredients then they will change. They are very much affected by sales.

Our food needs to be healthier and I'm glad that GM is getting rid of their dyes in cereals. It's a step in the right direction

They should take out the chemicals, not just for the sake of children but for all of us. I think they can use many natural colors if they want to, but the cost will be higher. i think the food tastes fine without artificial coloring.

I think it will make food weird in appearance. I think that it might affect sales I know my kids and if they had mac and cheese and it wasn't yellow they probably wouldn't eat it. However food being in a more natural state by adding less chemicals to it makes it healthier.

That is true. Color and taste never compromise for health.

I think it's a good idea. Why do we need our food to be coloured unnaturally.

Artificial stuffs in our food and preservatives are one of the main factors of the shorter lifespan of human beings nowadays. Compared to the people who lived long ago, many reached their centennaries.
