Unlike candy or cereal, we assume that the color of natural foods are a result of the environment. But some aren’t actually the color we assume. That’s because the government plays a key role in determining the colors of your food!. And for that, we can thank the margarine wars of the late 19th century.

I used to work at a seafood market whilst going to school. I remember customers frequently wanting the farm raised salmon over the wild and they would always site the color of the fish in their decision making. I would tell them that there was dye in the farm raised and the wild was perfectly fresh. Most customers wouldn’t believe me and would swear up and down to me that my stock of wild caught Salmon was bad… after a while I simply stopped mentioning this to the customers because it generally seemed to result in me looking like an untrustworthy employee

My dad told me a story how when he was young his older brother would always eat the tapioca pudding he made for himself. He would spend all day making it and when he went to go get it out of the fridge, it would be gone. So he put green dye in it. Welp, apparently his older brother would never eat green things. And it worked. He was able to keep and enjoy his tapioca, just because of the green color. It tasted the same but the color made it so his annoying older brother wouldn't touch it. Lol. Color does matter I guess. 😀

Not only is the youth super materialistic they also have had a mostly care free life in which bruised foods or mouldy cheese etc... are seen as harmful. The use of skip the dish and other apps with ridiculous costs show this imo. I'm 30 but I see people constantly buying name brand and using these apps. It amazes me because the same people (rightfully) complain about the cost of housing. Meanwhile here I am being frugal to offset it.

As a farmer I get it. I’ve spent a 1/4 of my life abroad in 22 countries and came home to (once) Good old America…bought some land and called it ‘Oleo Acres’ (it’s my cheaper spread!). Now I raise vegetables and lamb. I sell to people who simply refuse to participate in the chemical and dye fiascos called food at the supermarket. If I ever did any of that nonsense to any of my food I would be run out of the valley…at least broke within a year. People know what they want and if you off them the best they will gladly pay for it even if they have to short themselves on expensive clothing, eating out, vacations or nicer cars. Food is one of those things that people not only need but know what is good for them and what is not.

Also, the Atlantic salmon you're eating is farm-raised. as such, it's going to be given as his anthon in part to make up for the lack of the naturally occurring assesanthin which should be in its diet but isn't because it's farm-raised.

@@patrick594 I was a cheese monger my dude. You're absolutely wrong on this. Your ignorance of your neighbors is showing. Because our favorite cheddars, all English, were using annatto, we added it to 2/3 of our Cheddar and 3/4 of our American. Mimolette was also popular here for a while, I think because a person of international note really liked it. That's the part about Americans that scares me. Lafayette or someone like that loved it and it so that dry bland cheese gained popularity. Because he was popular. Smh. What about Shropshire Blue? Devonshire red? Gloucester? Mimolette? Are they not orange enough? Do they not use enough annatto for you? Are they not old country enough? Annatto cropped up in 17th century Europe as a way to make the cheese look like the cows had access to meadow grass. It's literally just a food coloring. Before access to latin america, they had other methods to achieve the same thing. Otherwise as the availability of the right grasses waxes and wanes you get different color cheese, and if you've ever met anyone shopping for food, you know people will just not buy something if it's not "perfect." Blame england, blame France. The US just followed the old countries, as usual they followed the sketchy old country, but saying it's an American thing makes you look ignorant, because it's far from true. Why annatto at that time? Access to latin america. Where it's still used as "achiote." I don't find it flavors anything, most people say it just adds a warmer color, others say it has had health benefits like vitamin e and anti oxidants. Idk about all that. I do know that Mimolette is French and the others I listed are English.

I agree with you! Also, notice that people stopped buying natural foods because they had become more expensive, preventing consumers from giving more of their money to the government. In order to encourage US citizens to spend their money, the government created artificial alternatives meant to mimic the appearance of the natural foods we once knew. Over time, younger generations were only exposed to artificial foods, thus losing their knowledge of how natural foods change in certain temperatures and environments. Rather than tell us an Orange is green, they dye the oranges all year round. The salmon is actually pink in nature, only grey in farms because the salmon is not on a natural diet.

As someone who has a history of sensitivity to food dyes, I am quite irritated that our government allows this deceptive adulterating of our food. Dying things like jello and frosting is one thing, but supposedly whole foods like pickes, oranges and salmon is setting people up for health issues that they can't reasonably prevent, especially where ingredients are not even listed. I can't help but wonder how much pain I have personally suffered because of such policies.

A few notes: The first margarine you speak of or 'oleomargarine' was not actually white. It was a pale yellow color similar to some butters. Butter is not always deep yellow...most of it today has annatto coloring added and this began early on so that commercial butter could have a consistent color all year long. So, coloring was added to butter before it was added to margarine. In a way, butter is more to blame for this trend of coloring natural products rather than margarine. Margarine makers colored their margarine to make it look like the butters that were on the shelves which themselves would have been a range of pale white to yellow colors at different times of the year if not for coloring. But the margarines made from vegetable oil rather than beef tallow did have a pale yellow color to begin with. The butter industry got upset about all this coloring and called it fraud even though they themselves did it without even revealing it to the consumer.

I had an orange tree in my backyard in Tucson, AZ and the oranges ripened orange in the summer when it was over 100 degrees outside. There may be varieties that ripen while still green, but not all of them. Mine was the Valencia variety. Most likely any dying of oranges grown in TX or FL is done because they are harvested before they are ripe so they can be shipped and not deteriorate. So they might be colored orange to make them look ripe when they aren't. Lots of commercial fruits are harvested before they are fully ripe, which is one of the reasons why they don't taste as good as those you grow yourself.

Will there ever come a day when all food/drink is free of harmful additives. In this video you talk about food coloring. What about asking to have the high levels of added sodium and sugar out of food/drink. And let people have safer and healthier food/drink choices. I am beginning to see some positive changes though, let’s keep moving forward on that! It’s about going natural and correct marketing. I think the public like myself is ready for the challenge of healthy change. Thanks for sharing your video.

That's interesting, my mother is Brazilian and my father American. I been living most of my life in Brazil and my father told me that in U.S just had one kind of banana and before coming to Brazil he didn't know that had such a variety, I got even more surprised that if a banana showed any kind of black spot you would throw it away when in reality even if it is cover completely in black spots it is still good and even better because sweater than before.

Why do compagnies color pickles to make them look like artificial trash? I associate pickles with dark green, not yellow. And why would you make your mozzarella white? Imagine using artificial coloring to make your food look worst. Although I agree I would never buy that gray salmon though, that one I understand.

I grew up on a farm in Hawaii we grew, among other things, oranges... I have never seen a green orange that was ripe (and I have eaten green oranges). Was it that Hawaii got cold enough to make the oranges change color, or that they grow a different variety in equatorial communities? you seem to HEAVILY imply the former without considering the later. To another point, you seem to single out farmed salmon as being artificially dyed which is true, so are almost all meat products. If you only dip your toes in a subject and report without greater context it makes you sound disingenuous, even if you are correct. I know you needed to cut some things to tell a narrative, but, you could have cut the bit about the oranges as it was the weaker argument, and pointed out that almost all commercially produced beef and pork is dyed to sell better. As I know that you folks will most likely never see or respond to this comment... I'll ask my fellow viewers, did you see anything else that they got wrong?

I live in Louisiana, and idk what species of "Orange" were talking about, but we grew Satsumas for years, and they started off green, and then they would turn orange. And the green color did mean it wasn't ripe yet, but that is also when I picked them bc they were more tart, when u waited for them to be orange they would be super sweet.

In the 1940s margarine came in a big, soft plastic pouch with a blob of dye on one side. It was very pretty, like a red jewel pressed into it. My Mom let us kids knead the bags of margarine to mix the dye in -- it was one way of keeping us happy in the baby carriage while she grocery shopped.

@@gktjkytjktyjtyjtyjkf Is it unnaturally grey? I've never seen consumer grade undyed fish as thick as we get salmon fillets. The closest I can think of are shark steaks (still dyed by diet) which can appear to be brown/grey even before the factory processing, factory freezing, and store thawing salmon goes through? You're probably more right though, they probably just replaced all the red/pink with grey and took judicious liberty with guessing how dark it would be. As opposed to just making it look similar to other translucent/light grey fish. Edit: They've also chosen the brightest colored salmon I've ever seen in my life for their "normal" examples.

I live in Germany and was super outweirded when I tasted Hawaiian Punch for the first time. The drink being bright red and the taste being tropical just didn't mix well for me as I am used to a different "color coding". Drinks with a tropical flavor are usually colored in a warm orange over here, so finding out that it tasted not like red fruits but tropical ones was quite surprising and unexpected. Another thing is probably mustard. Super outweirded me when I saw American bright yellow mustard for the first time. In Germany it's usually a natural beige color while yellow mustard is hard to come by and is referred to as "American mustard" due to its color.
