Explaining economics using blue dye from @maxxrosenblum

The creator, superimposed over a montage of graphics and B-roll, explains the economic and biological consequences of a hypothetical 2026 FDA ban on synthetic food dyes. He uses the color blue as a case study to illustrate the concept of a 'Nature Tax,' where demand created by regulation far outstrips the available natural supply, and shows how this would impact major brands like Gatorade and M&M's.
