      Finding specific food coloring colors without them too has been insanely difficult, organic ones are very few and far between

      Have you considered making your own pickles? It’s stupid easy and you can experiment with your own flavors that aren’t commercially available.

            Normal people working a 9-5 simply don’t have time to make every product themselves. Your myopic view of the world limits you.

            How much time for the trip to the canning section that they’ve probably never been to, time to sanitize the jars, and time to prep the cukes? It’s spoons that a lot of people don’t have left at the end of the day.

      They’re only banning specific chemicals, not all food coloring. For example:

      Red Dye No. 3, officially known as erythrosine or FD&C Red No. 3, is a synthetic dye derived mainly from petroleum. In the U.S., Red 3 has been banned for decades in makeup and topical medicines after being linked to cancer.

      Red No. 2 was federally banned in the 70s. The industry adapts and moves on.
