I like nature, popcorn and jazz. Wrong, I love nature and jazz. The human mind is fascinating and I understand that many people read and comment on texts through their own internal narrative. I try to challenge my own views and be kind to everyone.

Hey, is it just me or is anyone else having problems with upvotes? Everything shows zero even when I press upvote. Well, now to the candy world. The world is full of chocolate pastilles that don't have bright colored shells and don't they sell more natural colored ones in the US? Are they just overpriced "health candies" that are normal candies in the Nordic countries and are sold at an overpriced price on the other side of the ocean? I'm also a little annoyed that red 40 made a comeback with the EU even though it was already banned here. Not that I've seen that e-code in years, kudos to the color derived from beetroot. Edit: Also, I always choose the palm oil-free option, dairy-free or, depending on the candy, gelatin-free. I walk past candies with sweeteners without looking twice.

I've just checked the ingredients listed on a regular bag of m&ms sold at Sainsbury's. I've only looked up two of the E numbers and the second one on the list is E133 "a synthetic triarylmethane dye". So the UK absolutely has artificial coloring in m&ms. Sorry to burst your bubble!
