Following Up On The Last Link On Food Colors ~
Food Color Chart Acts As An Educational Tool
A Malaysian-born artist has created an interesting chart representing the natural colors seen in 88 fruits and vegetables and coined it the 'Nature Matching System'. This should be installed in all schools beside the canteen :)

Scientists Warn That Food Colors Damage Kids!
While this isn't new news to many it is a comfort that Scientists are also accepting, more and more, that this problem is real and is able to be validated. We need to educate children that pretty coloured food and drinks doesn't mean it tastes better. This has to begin at a VERY early age so that children aren't conditioned into making food/drink choices because of colour! Animals certainly should not need colour additives either but they can appear in some products because it appeals more to the human eye, rather than something looking pale and unexciting, that entices the human purchaser to buy it. We DON'T need any of these additives!
