...this man is a lunatic. And I wouldn't put it past the industry to be allowed to "use up their existing stock of current dyes and flavors" just like what happened with lead paint.

Any agreement with this Brainworm guy ENDS THERE.

He is dangerous. Vaccines are lifesaving. Research into cancer treatments, women's health initiatives, other health conditions, and literally anything else that helps medical science is not on this idiot's wavelength.

The autism "list" alone is a complete invasion of privacy and will net no helpful result.

Everything else this loon is doing will HURT Americans.

The "natural" colors thing is a drop in the bucket of things we should be focused on.
