Have you had your crude oil today?

I was reading our town's weekly paper this morning when I saw the headline ADHD..linked to food additives. Of course I read it. I never ever knew the food dyes Red #40 and Yellow #5 (and probably the others) were made from crude oil. Oh, how tasty. Yum....Yes, I'm being sarcastic. Why in the world would we want that in our food??? Why would the government want this in "their" food? This is amazing. Even though I have cut out MANY food items in our household I don't think the 'red candy fish' are going to be looking very yummy anymore. Even for the little times we eat them.
No wonder, children can't sit still, think straight, run all over, feel sick, etc. Our bodies are toxic.
So, have you had your crude oil today?
