I'm not a big fan of that either. I think RFK is a little misguided on how he views certain things. Almost none of the products in food today are much of a problem in moderation.

I'm agnostic about how much of a problem some of these things are, but it wouldn't surprise me to learn that the cumulative effect of all these synthetic slightly toxic compounds is very negative.
I know that I avoid eating them.

A little red dye isn't going to hurt you, neither is a little bit of artificial sweetner or seed oil. What happens when you start adding all of these things together and in aggregate become a large part of your diet? Probably nothing good...
