Takis, Doritos, Gatorade and other processed foods will be removed from schools in California unless they are modified to exclude artificial dyes such as Red 40, found in most processed foods known to cause sensitive reactions, according to a report by the National Institute of Health. On Sept. 28, Governor Gavin Newsom passed the California School Food Safety Act (AB 2316), which prohibits Red 40 in school lunches and foods, taking full effect on Dec. 31, 2027.

American rapper and record producer Tyler Gregory Okonma, or stage name Tyler, The Creator’s hip-hop and seventh studio album, “CHROMAKOPIA” was released on Oct. 28. Throughout the album, Tyler, The Creator touches upon his personal issues of overwhelming paranoia and intense struggles he dealt with as a kid.
