Here it is, the last entry of Research Reduction in 2013. My, oh my, it's been quite a year. So many topics to touch on, but let us focus on food colorings. Oh, what they can do to attract the eye. Oh, how they draw attention. Oh, the fundamental role they play in a product's success. No one wants blue lettuce. Green bread? Brown asparagus? I say all of this, but remember purple ketchup? It was a massive hit… with children.

It's true. When we break the product-color expectation, children are the only demographic that will stand for it. We adults, no. Every food has a proper color, and if a food is not of the expected color, then it does not become part of our lives. To the color wheel, developers! Value! Hue! Contrast! The arts may have something to offer after all!

Enough!

Your weekly reduction!
