The dyes that they use in food are probably one of the worse, because we've actually seen a tremendous relationship between hyperactivity in kids and food dyes. So, I absolutely recommend no food with dyes in it. And you know, it can slip into the most unlikely places. For example, people buy salmon that is farmed, and low and behold, that salmon is as grey as this-- well, this carpet's not grey, but it's as grey as the metal here, if it didn't have the dye to make it red. And that's a tragedy, when you think that we don't even know what we're eating, and we're eating dye in fish. Who would have thought?
