Get Rid Of Artificial Dyes In The U.S.A.

Created by N.W. on June 11, 2016

Many people in the U.S.A. are allergic to artificial dyes, also known as food coloring, and are terrible for your health. They are made in a lab with chemicals derived from petroleum, a crude oil product, which also happens to be used in gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt, and tar. Artificial food dyes are made from petroleum and approved for use by the FDA to enhance the color of processed foods. Are you kidding me? Eww! I'm glad I'm allergic to it, it's disgusting! And the worst part it, they're in everything! M&Ms, Skittles, ice creams, candies, cakes, everything! Petroleum is a liquid mixture of hydrocarbons that is present in certain rock strata and can be extracted and refined to produce fuels including gasoline, kerosene, and diesel oil. Please sign this petition, and stop fake dyes.
