We've all known for a long time now that the food coloring dyes that we Americans use in our foods is bad for you, but recent studies have come out proving the effects even worse than previously imagined! Such wonders abound from consuming crap with things like Red 40, such as increased hyper-activity in children, increased risk of cancer, and decreased cognitive function and creativity! Well, I personally decided to cut out the things from my diet that are tainted with so much as a single drop of these synthetic food colorings. Well color me surprised this morning when I ate a bowl of one of my most favorite cereals, Captain Crunch's Crunch berries, when I read the ingredients afterward and realized that the food dye I was trying to avoid was right there!

And here is said evidence of the problem.

So now I've decided to speak up for everyone who has ever had the joy of eating Captain Crunch, and say that enough is enough! Don't believe me? I have the proof right here, Crunch Berries alone has Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1, and Yellow 6.

If nothing is done, then Americans who like Captain Crunch will just keep eating this stuff, some ignorant of the deleterious effects this slow poisoning causes, and others just not caring. But we NEED to care, now is not the time to remain silent about our problems, especially as we poison ourselves with the food we love! We need to make a change in the way American food is made, so I ask all of you to lend me your signatures so that Captain Crunch, and hopefully any other food making company in America will move away from these horrible synthetic food dyes and switch to natural alternatives. It's my sincere hope that this petition is only merely the start of making all of our food better quality. After all, isn't the determination to be better what makes Americans exceptional in the first place?
