Anyone who is against this is totally wrong, from this perspective: The government should not allow people going into the food business to put in chemicals known to have a deleterious effect on cells and the body. Otherwise, what is nutrition for?
I am not talking about having cake or chips, etc. There are synthetic chemicals used to make foods look more colorful, seem more flavorful, and last longer, where the inherent nature of that ingredient is harmful to the body.
In the food business, it seems to me that no ingredients that cause an inherent health hazard (not talking about too much sugar..etc), should be banned and not allowed in the food business.
