It’s just a little titanium dioxide, it’s still good, it’s still good.

I’m kinda thinking that if you’re still eating Franken-foods at this point (processed foods full of artificial chemicals, colors, flavors preservatives, etc.), you really can’t complain much when it tanks your health. Too much has been researched, published, and reported on this for too long to claim ignorance. Whether or not you chose to believe the science (and/or anecdotal accounts), at some point you have to take personal responsibility for your choices, IMHO.

On point. Some processed food seems unavoidable - I don’t usually make my own pasta, for example.
A good book on the processed food industry is Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us by Michael Moss, who is an investigative reporter on the food industry.

Yes, the addiction issue is very real but definitely surmountable, especially once you understand that you are physically addicted.
I also agree that hidden/undisclosed toxins is a huge problem, and that responsibility is on anyone in the supply chain knowingly making false claims (i.e., not just the manufacturer, but any farmers, distributors, resellers, etc. colluding in the fraud).

Probably where many cancer cases started.

Titanium Dioxide is FDA approved for food, drugs and cosmetics. Not sure what this lawsuit is about other than the EU has banned it recently and now someone probably wants it banned here too.
