  • Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation?

  • Yup, but the chemical they replaced it with is almost exactly the same, and there's not much of a reason to believe it's any safer. Also, it could be safer if they just didn't dump the chemicals, but we all know how that goes.

  • Lol true. But it has been studied enough that I believe it, plus fiberglass wasn't invented to replace asbestos, it was already in use

  • Well yes, and cigarettes are worse than vaping. But I hope you wouldn't encourage children to vape just because it's better than cigarettes, given there's a good deal we don't know and many mixed regulations/enforcements.

    If I had kids I'd avoid giving them artificial sweeteners and excessive sugar. I don't judge parents who don't though.

  • I think attributing that to the use of color is a dramatic over simplification. The capitalization of human psychology stems from one thing and one thing only, our current form of capitalism which prioritizes maximizing short term shareholder return above all else, with long term shareholder return coming in second.

    Also, if you're not going to let me pull the Hitler card in this situation, I can just pull the slavery card. What's worse, a population with a high rate of depression, or a population with a high rate of literally a slave? (We have that too in the US because forced prison labor is a thing and is considered constitutional at the moment)

    Or what about when entire ancient civilizations had their history erased when conquered?

    Or what North Korea is right now?

    Like, seriously, you're telling me the use of bright colors is the worst crime ever committed against humanity? We've been using colors for thousands of years, you could at least pick something like Sugar that's actually addictive and causes disease and depression. Or cigarettes which also do that while also fostering poverty cycles. I could come up with so many things worse than using colors.

  • PTFE is the product, Teflon, not the chemicals they use to make it. PFOA was replaced with another chemical that is basically almost as bad, potentially exactly as bad

  • Artificial sweeteners. Everyone is so obsessed with whether or not they cause cancer that their other potential effects get much less attention. There's a major industry push to keep them on the shelves, and we still have only recently discovered the gut microbiome.

  • That sounds a lot like correlation not causation. Countries that use a lot of corn syrup also use a lot of every other food industry chemical, and somewhere in that chemical soup could be something real, but it's probably not the corn
