Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Good. Ban dyes, too. IDGAF if my cola is brown. IDGAF if my mountain dew is the color of radioactive piss.
Coke should be in the clear it should be using caramel colour. For green there's chlorophyll copper complexes, for yellow tumeric. No it won't look radioactive but who the fuck cares.
...it's not like food producers aren't using colouring in the EU, it's that they're going "oh here is what we have, let's see what we can do with that" and not "here's a colour chart, marketing wants it to look like this, make it work with ridiculous amounts of chemistry that's never been tested on animals much less humans who cares where the chips fall they won't fall this financial quarter".
I'm not concerned for health. It's unnecessary. It is added to give the drinks a color. Just cut it out, even if it costs almost nothing.
It's not really unnecessary, colour plays a role in aroma perception. Cherry drops don't taste like cherry when they're green instead of red. They still taste fruity, sure, but unless you're highly trained and experienced you won't be able to pick out the aroma.
And stuff like e.g. lemon doesn't have enough colour on its own to provide that kind of stimulus. So you get some turmeric with your lemon juice and zest in your lemon drops and what's wrong with that.
I'm just saying let things be whatever color they are.
"I don't care that there's nothing wrong with it I just don't like it."
How dare you restate my comment exactly as I intend it. I just don't like it.
We will have a grade school children uprising when all their candy stops being bright orange, green, and blue.
The most valid argument against my position, right here.
