Recently, I purchased some chocolate covered sunflower seeds. Natural chocolate color so I didn't think to check ingredients at the store but when I got home, I reviewed the ingredients. It had red, blue, and yellow artificial coloring - I was blown away! Of course, I'm sure they used the colors to arrive at a nice, consistent brown color but at what cost? Why not just do away with those artificial colorings and just let the natural chocolate color show through? Surely, the inclusion of those colors is also some sort of cost that they could even save money with if they weren't used.
