California continuesis toa beleader the leading state in the union when it comes to protecting children's and ensuring the health of its citizens. Research is ongoing, but there's enough data available to make it clear California shouldn't be allowing these dyes in anyone's food, let alone students. Because California has the largest public school system in the US, this ban will impact how corporations produce food, including what ingredients they use.
Despite the bipartisan agreement over this legislation, it's obviously a political attack on the food industry disguised as a bill meant to protect children. There's no need for these types of bans, and in the long run families and schools will face higher costs and fewer choices when it comes to their meals. This is a terrible law.
