France has banned Titanium dioxide from food additives, because it's extremely dangerous for health. Experiments show this substance damages body cells, which causes organ damage and also cancer. Other countries still allow this poison to be added to food. It is said that the lobby of Titanium dioxide producers is heavily bribing other governments to keep this dangerous additive allowed for food.

Titanium dioxide is an ingredient used to whiten many food products in addition to cosmetic, paint, and paper products. Foods with titanium dioxide are typically candies, pastries, chewing gum, coffee creamers, chocolates, and cake decorations.

Good on France

A libertarian would say something stupid like "wait for the market to correct itself" or now "prices will go up" because "food, soda, and candy makers who use titanium dioxide will not be able to fairly compete on the market" and "France will cause an unfair advantage to importers instead of domestic producers of goods " so on and so forth.

Me?

Ban the shit entirely. Go fuck yourself

A libertarian would say, label that shit with information on the dangers and let people live like they're grown-ups and choose whether to buy it.

No they wouldn't

Go back and read all the literature and forum banter from libertarians when GMO labeling was on the ballot.

Fucking Republicans and Libertarians stood against it. Cost of the sticker or some shit. It was abysmal.
