The dye industry, heavy on the use of petrochemicals, is one of the world’s biggest polluters. Now dyes can be made by microorganisms that -grow- colors.

    I’m excited to see the first color to cause a mass health event because the color wasn’t fully sterilized because of cost cutting. I’m sure people will be really normal about it.

    Bets on red btw.

    I hope they’re not using dihydrogen monoxide for this. Literally anyone that consumes it dies.

    I really like the specification of petrochemicals. Thats make a significant difference. That is awesome, the more places we can cut those industries out the better.

      Going by ‘colour’, I’d guess that headline came from the UK. Writing them is a tricky, trippy task.

    I thought the pic was 3 cookies and was all excited. Then I read the headline. I probably should not be left unsupervised in a lab.
