𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐃𝐀 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐮𝐦 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐝𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔.𝐒. Some very special guests joined for this MAJOR announcement! A 🧵 you won’t want to miss…

FDA Commissioner @DrMakaryFDA give us a harsh reality. “41% of children have at least one health condition and 1 in 5 are on medication.” “The answer is NOT more ozempic, more ADHD medication, and more antidepressants.”

“Today the FDA is taking the following steps. Number 1- Establishing a national standard and timeline for the food industry to transition from petroleum based food dyes to natural alternatives. Number 2- Initiating a process to REVOKE authorization of synthetic food colorings… within the coming WEEKS. Number 3- Taking steps to eliminate the remaining six synthetic dyes on the market.”

After Dr. Makary shows how easy it can be to use vegetable juice as food coloring, he announces he is approving 4 natural food colorings in the coming weeks!

“To be clear, the transition from petroleum based food dyes to natural ingredient food dyes will NOT increase food prices.” That’s because other countries already do it!

And now @thefoodbabe entered the chat. After BLASTING Kellogg’s for not taking our concerns seriously, she says, “Secretary Kennedy took our unheard voices to the campaign trail and elevated them all the way up to President Trump.” I guess Kellogg’s should have listened…

.@Dr explained just how much damage these synthetic food dyes have caused. “Food dyes cause increased hyperactivity, reduced attention span, irritability, sleep disturbances.” “Is it any wonder there has been 1,000% increase in ADHD since 1970?”

.@calleymeans does what he does best and confronts the media to their face! “Let’s not cover this cynically. This is a major win.” Then he turns to democrats… “WHERE ARE YOU? Come to HHS, come to FDA, and work with this administration.”

Speaker of the House in Utah proves this can be done without hardship. “One of our largest school districts has been doing this for three years already.”

Governor Morrisey of West Virgina remind us… “That’s what Making America Healthy Again means to us. It’s not just a slogan, it’s a MISSION.”

Not only is it a tragedy for someone to deal with chronic disease, Secretary Kennedy tells us the price tag… “There was zero spent in this country treating chronic disease when my uncle was president. Today it’s about 1.8 trillion annually.”

“They wanna eat petroleum, they ought to add it themselves at home, but they shouldn’t be feeding it to the rest of us.” And food dyes are just the start… “We’re gonna get rid of the dyes and one by one we’re gonna get rid of every ingredient and additive in food that we can legally get addressed.”

Once again, the media gets called out right to their faces 🙌 “I would point out that there is…MEDIA MALPRACTICE.” “One of the possible reasons for that is the amount of money that’s coming from the pharmaceutical companies into our media.” Wonder why there are so many drug ads on TV? Maybe this is why.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐲𝐞𝐭! Secretary Kennedy thanks state leaders for being the first to ban these harmful chemicals. “Those bans have given us leverage to make demands in the food companies.” “The only reason those states banned these products is because of these ladies and millions more across the country, the WARRIOR MOMS who have powered the MAHA movement.” “I just wanna urge all of you- it’s not the time to stop. It’s the time to redouble your efforts because we have them on the run now and we are gonna win this battle.”

Remember, “there is no such thing as Republican children or Democratic children.”

“President Trump wants DRAMATIC change in the next two years and we’re gonna deliver that for him.” 🇺🇸

This was an incredible announcement and certainly the most progress we made on our health in a long time. Thank you for all the support that allows me to continue my reporting. Now let me know what HHS should go after next…
