Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr is set to announce a ban on certain artificial food dyes in the US, according to a statement from the health agency.

Kennedy plans to announce the phasing out of petroleum-based synthetic dyes as a “major step forward in the Administration’s efforts to Make America Healthy Again” the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said on Monday.

No exact dates for the changes were provided, but HHS said Kennedy would announce more details at a news conference on Tuesday.

The dyes - which are found in dozens of foods, including breakfast cereals, candy, snacks and beverages - have been linked to neurological problems in some children.

    Except it isn’t a broken clock, it’s a lying clock. It’s saying the time is inconsistent and arbitrary, and only that clock can tell you the true time. The first step in getting you to accept the lying clock as the source of true time is to tell you a time you think is correct, but justify it with a lie. It may indeed be 12 noon eastern standard time, but it is not because the clock had a conference call with Bigfoot and Dracula where they determined it is indeed 12 noon eastern time.
