Making Fun of Lunch (4/23/24)

After a Consumer Reports study found high levels of lead, cadmium, and sodium in Lunchables, a lawsuit has been filed against Kraft Heinz for misleading the public and selling dangerous products to parents and children. Consumer Reports is also petitioning the US-government to remove Lunchables from the National School Lunch Program. Realistically, however, virtually everything at a grocery store contains that and worse, and, furthermore, something like sodium shouldn't even be a surprise. Contrasting this story are multiple states attempting to ban food dyes and other ingredients as harmful, a move that seeks to set a precedent for draconian government regulation of food. Instead we should close the revolving door between regulators and industry, enforce the laws we have, and let regulators, if un-compromised, determine what should be on the market.
