FDA urged to ban 8 food dyes-Why?

FDA urged to ban 8 food dyes - CNN.com (from CNN). I can understand if some major issue with food safety is involved. Hell, the FDA has not always had the American public's best interests at heart.

My issue is with this "Center for Science in the Public Interest" that is arguing the issue. They're claiming, and I quote:

"The purpose of these chemicals is often to mask the absence of real food, to increase the appeal of a low-nutrition product to children, or both... Who can tell the parents of kids with behavioral problems that this is truly worth the risk?"

CSPI Executive Director Michael F. Jacobson

Okay, so we're arguing that because artificial dyes mask absence of real food, we should ban these dyes. Time to whip out the cluebat: NO, THAT'S NOT A REASON. It's YOUR JOB, as a GODDAMN PARENT, TO TAKE CARE OF THE WELLBEING OF YOUR CHILDREN. Quit trying to offload the issue on the FDA, or the government, or anyone else. If an artifical dye causes problems for your children, STOP FEEDING THEM CRAP!!! How hard is it? Cook 2 squares a day for them, and pack healthy lunches. Oh, that's right, you don't have TIME for that anymore. Tough shit. If you're a parent, your children should come FIRST, LAST, AND ALWAYS. Make time.
