Today, my girlfriend found out you can use food coloring in anything. Everything she cooks is now in bright neon colors. I feel like I'm in a Dr Seuss book. FML

That... Sounds pretty cool haha

Artificial colors look great. They make food look vibrant and appealing. The majority of food colors are made with petroleum. They are a derivative of Petrochemicals and Coal tar. These chemicals are in no way made to be ingested by humans or any other animal. In fact, food dye is pulled off of the market regularly because of health concerns. Yellow #2 food dye will likely be the next to go. It's be shown to cause ADHD, multiple types of cancer, male sterility, and many other issues. Blue 2: linked to brain tumors in mice Green 3: linked to bladder cancer back in 1981 Yellow 3: known to cause some mild allergic reactions – especially in people who are sensitive to aspirin Yellow 6: associated with cancer of the adrenal glands and kidneys as well as possible allergic reactions Red 3: was considered for banning in 1983 because of a possible link to thyroid tumors It may look pretty but it's harmful to your body

She's just going through a phase, she'll get over It

As long as it doesn't kill you, have fun! Dr. Suess is awesome btw.

lol the health freaks who are terrified of calories showed up. a calorie as defined by science is the amount of energy needed to raise one gram of water by 1°C. all it is is the energy that is releases from the chemical rxns taking place during digestion.that energy is turned into atp or adenosine triphosphate. these molecules allow your muscles to move. extra energy is stored as fat chains in the adipose cells. people believe that high fructose corn syrup is bad because it contains lots of fructose molecules aka sugar. it is a different sugar than glucose but can be easily converted through runs into glucose. the more you know the better you are. edit: carp wanted to reply to #2

There's also "dietary calorie" which is a different unit - 1000x chemical calorie.

Your girlfriend is awesome!! That reminds me of summer camp when I was 8. We got blue and red milk and ate dessert first. Best day of my life!
