The FDA's latest decision to ban Red No. 3 dye in food products is yet another example of unnecessary government intervention, disregarding the principles of personal responsibility and market freedom. Critics argue this move will not only hurt the food industry but also limit consumer choices, all in the name of a so-called health risk that many consider to be overblown. This ban raises significant concerns about the growing regulatory powers and their impact on American businesses and freedoms.
