It is tiring to have to avoid most convenience and fast foods or to have to travel an hour one way to shop where you might find fewer of these ingredients in packaged foods, esp. those in red/yellow. Those in orange show just how messed up our food supply is due to overuse of corn in our society. Of course, some of these could be two or three colors. And this is just based on what I know which is not enough.
These ingredients are derived from corn or are likely are derived from corn
These ingredients contain or may contain petroleum (TBHQ for sure does)
These ingredients can hide artificial stuff (but not limited to these ingredients)
