Kennedy Targets Food Dyes
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the new secretary of the U.S. Health and Human Services Department, says he wants artificial food dyes removed from what we eat.
He’s been meeting with large food manufacturing conglomerates to persuade them to stop using these dyes. They have been shown to cause cancers and other serious diseases. Most countries around the world already ban the dyes, but the United States has taken longer, owing to lobbying from the food industry.
How long will the process take? Kennedy says his goal is to finish the process within a two-year timeframe. Here he outlines his plans in an interview with CBS News. The clip comes from The Daily Caller.
