I mean, while I applaud these gestures[*] to fight against synthetic food colors and sugar added to nearly everything, it's not all great news on the food regulation front:

Agree. I think we should cheer when they (accidentally or occasionally) get it right and condemn for all the things they do wrong, that will be most of the time. FDA's Foods Division (CFSAN) was a mess from as long as I have been keeping track i.e. early 1990's.
