    I've been Money Tipped!
    Have just signed. I work in a school and we do notice that the childrens behaviour often deteriorates after a school dinner, especially if the pudding is very pink or red in colour! Some of the children actually look quite unwell.

    Just think of how much more these children could achieve if these additives were banned!
    Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.

  • A few years ago my Mum gave my daughter an easter egg that had bright colours. She reacted so badly to the sweets in it that I looked up the ingredients, one of them was internal bleeding!???!
    Others included respitory distress and depression - in childrens sweets?!
    Someone did tell me that the people who work on sunshine yellow colour can only do so for 2 years as the related health problems are so bad, although I don't know how true that is.
    Way to go manufacturers, ban the lot I say.
    Waddle you do eh?
