President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has promised to “make America healthy again” by, among other things: work on The “chronic disease epidemic” and the corporate grip of federal regulators.

The New York Times is now one of the organizations that has risked such exposure in its desperation to characterize Kennedy as “wrong.”
“Science has proven that these dyes can cause hyperactivity in children, can confuse the immune system, and are contaminated with carcinogens.”
For trying to overlook the points President Kennedy was making in a recent interview, the Times newspaper

At their beginning,

After highlighting why food giants that produce unhealthy products are “nervous” about the incoming administration, Jewett and Cresswell focused on Kennedy's recent comments about the ingredients in Kellogg's Fruit Loops cereal. , sought to address some of Kennedy's concerns.

Hari recently told Blaze News:
These dyes can cause hyperactivity in children, can confuse the immune system, and are scientifically proven to be contaminated with carcinogens. There are also safer colors made from fruits and vegetables such as beets and carrots. Food companies already refrain from using large amounts of artificial dyes in Europe because they don't want to put warning labels on their products that say they “may have a negative effect on children's attention span.” If food companies like Kellogg's can reformulate their products without artificial colors and sell them in other countries, there's no reason they can't do it here in the United States.
The food activist said, “While there are over 10,000 food additives that are allowed to be used in the United States, only 400 are allowed in Europe. [incoming] Governments should prioritize controlling the alarming amount of food additives in our food supply. ”

Kennedy appeared on Fox News the next day and mentioned Hari's presentation.
I'm saying“Boxes of Fruit Loops from Canada or Europe contain a completely different group of ingredients. They are actually colored with vegetable oils and are safe. Ours are colored with chemical oils and are safe. It's very dangerous.”
After the election, Kennedy revisited this example in an interview on MSNBC, saying:
speak frankly“Why do we have Froot Loops in this country that has 18 to 19 ingredients, but when you go to Canada, it only has two or three ingredients?”
The Times picked up Kennedy's criticism of Flute Loop, writing:
Kennedy pointed to Froot Loops as an example of a product with too many artificial ingredients, and questioned why the Canadian version had fewer ingredients than the U.S. version. But he was wrong. The ingredient list is nearly identical, but the Canadian product contains natural dyes made from blueberries and carrots, while the U.S. product contains 40 red dyes, 5 yellow dyes, and 1 blue dye, which are made in a lab. Contains butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), a chemical that ”According to the ingredient list, this is to maintain freshness.
In the same paragraph in which the Times claimed Mr. Kennedy was wrong that Froot Loops contained more artificial ingredients in Canada than in the United States, the Liberal paper effectively said that Mr. Kennedy was correct. He pointed out.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (Republican)
noticed“In their defense, their comedy writing is really strong.”
The Times later blamed an “editorial error” and rewritten the Orwellian text to read:
Kennedy cited Froot Loops as an example of a product with too many ingredients. In an interview with MSNBC on Nov. 6, he questioned the overall ingredient count, saying, “Why in this country we have Froot Loops, which has 18 to 19 ingredients, but when you go to Canada, you only get 2 to 3 ingredients.” Is there only one type in it?” Mr. Kennedy asked. He had the number of ingredients wrong, they are almost the same. However, while the Canadian version contains natural coloring made from blueberries and carrots, the U.S. version contains 40 red dyes, 5 yellow dyes, and 1 blue dye, plus “laboratory dyes used to preserve freshness.” It is said to contain the chemical compound “butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)''. ingredient label.
