If no one is allowed to enjoy their life, what's even the point of fighting so hard to protect it? I'm unusually risk-averse and even I see that this is living in fear. I suppose this might be the consequence of increasing secularism, people think: life should be extended at any and all costs, even if that makes it even more miserable, because once it's over so are you. Even if that were somehow true I still think quality beats quantity, yet people have this all-encompassing fear of death.

not allowed? you can poison yourself with "food coloring" if you want, no law against it. Tho yellow 5 for example is banned in some countries.

It's just stupid. Once upon a time we didn't micromanage and worry about every little thing like this, and people were still perfectly fine, and happier.

I do want the FDA to ban some things that are dangerous, I can't run everything thru a lab myself to see if it's healthy before I eat it. Yes they're corrupt, we need to just base it on science but right now scientists are compromised.

But the risks of food coloring are hardly worth a ban, or even avoiding it.
