>jewish cartoons tell a generation of children “all cheese is deep yellow”

>children grow up to expect cheese to be deep yellow, only buying deep yellow cheese

>companies stop selling pale cheeses

>companies use dye to make cheese more yellow

>natural dye is expensive

>artificial colors are cents to the kilogram

>companies pay government regulatory agencies to approve artificial colors without testing

>all cheese becomes deep yellow

>new generation of children is mentally ill

And that’s how food works.

FWIW, I ran the text through ChatGPT to see if there was an official source for the claim. Here's what I got back:

The text from the meme you shared appears to be a reference to concerns about artificial food dyes, particularly Red Dye #40, which is commonly found in foods like candy, soda, and processed snacks. While there isn't an exact "official" source for the specific quantities of dyes from Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, Skittles, and Crush Orange as stated in the meme, research has shown that artificial food dyes can impact children's behavior.

For example, multiple studies, including those published in journals like *The Lancet* and *Clinical Pediatrics*, have found that consumption of artificial dyes—sometimes as little as 30 mg—can contribute to hyperactivity and other behavioral issues in children, particularly those who are sensitive to these additives. Red Dye #40 has been specifically linked to hyperactivity, migraines, and concentration issues. While the U.S. FDA allows the use of these dyes, several countries in Europe and Australia have banned or restricted them due to health concerns.

The meme likely reflects a growing movement that questions the role of food dyes in neurological and behavioral health, particularly in children.

Abridged, yes we know dyes are dangerous. Probably obvious since they are banned in several dozen countries.
