A coalition of individuals from varied political backgrounds supports a New York state bill aimed at increasing food safety regulations, ban certain dyes, and mandate clearer labeling of additives. Advocates argue that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has failed in regulating food safety effectively. The bill is associated with a broader movement led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who advocates for natural foods while critiquing modern medicine. Assemblymember Anna Kelles highlights how the presence of unknown chemicals in food creates bipartisan concern among the public.
When you have something that is obviously true and people in the public find out there are an estimated 10,000 chemicals in their food supply that they're not told about, they get really pissed off.
New York should step up because Washington - and specifically, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration - hasn't done its job regulating many of the products that find their way onto store shelves.
