Who MADE the NYTimes report this lame gotcha? No one is this stupid.

The NYT is for people who only read the headlines.

This is a PERFECT example of the insane gaslighting we've been subject to for god knows how long

And the tribal politics. How long ago was it that the left were the champions of organic/whole foods and skeptical of big pharma?

taste like lab food


I had this argument with a fellow 50+ person the other day. To me none of that tastes anything like it did when I was a kid. It tastes like what you describe.

This issue is eye opening. I’ve never eaten fruit loops under the guise of them being remotely healthy and assumed they used science magic to make it happen but my idea of science magic aligns with the vast majority of countries and doesn’t include my own.

Canada: Colorings from blueberries, carrots

US: Red 40, yellow 5, blue 1 and Butylated hydroxytoluene "for freshness"


NYT: See, they both contain colorings. None are from actual Froots. We find RFK Jr's. claim false.

To be fair, I think the NYT is sort of right here. In the U.S. I believe the FDA makes them list the scientific chemical name of ingredients. In most other countries they can just say "blueberry coloring" without listing the chemical name. Chemical names scare people who don't realize that the chemical name for water is dihydrogen monoxide.


Could you be more wrong on this?

The ingredient list is roughly the same except for all the differences in the ingredient lists


which also happen to represent some of the primary ingredients that RFK Jr. is calling out as a sign of inexcusable laxity and/or corruption in federal oversight. “Orwellian” is not a compliment or a standard you should aspire to, people.

The lack of self-awareness is so remarkable that it defies belief. Seriously, you’ll never convince me that any adult human who’s capable of stringing enough words together to form the sentences in this story doesn’t KNOW how stupid this conclusion is, even if they’ll never admit it publicly.

It’s essentially the same as the Canadian version except for the chemicals, coloring and other additives.

This is how deranged the left and NYT is. They're so reflexively against the Trump administration they will take the other side and support chemicals in food. Think about that for a second.

The NYT is more full of shite than a box of kiddie cereal.

And imagine feeding this groomer shite to your kids:
