Why must we add color to everything we eat? Would it be so bad to eat foods in their natural color?

Player #Irvine Ian, It's called the Cochineal beetle, it produces a natural dye called carmine. (carmine is the name of a red paint colour used by artists)

There’s also a beetle found in hot places eg Canary Island of La Gomera, which has a sac which produces red dye used in food colouring.

Then why add such colours if it is not suitable for young children.Ice creams and the other coloured stuffs like this are consumed by children only..Not adults.

I had a stomach bug once that caused diarrhoea for over a week. Then I went to a BBQ & the host gave me a big glass of red cordial & told me to drink it. Cured the diarrhoea & I was as right as rain after that!

Player #6852065, Carrots were originally white. They were unappealing, so, the Orange color was bread into them.
