@angeldeb82: Who's "we", though? Other than that, the less preservatives and synthetic coloring, the better.

It's probably for the best, but to refer to masterlive's point, I think Kraft said it won't taste different, they will be adding spices to compensate for removing the dyes.

"We" refers to the Food Babe's activists at Change.org who wanted to have Kraft remove all artificial preservatives and dyes from its mac and cheese. And now it's paying off.

this is going to set a dangerous precedent for a "Green Eggs and Ham" movement that will sweep the nation demanding IHOP carry the stuff until people actually see it in person. This will be followed by 40 days and 40 nights of nausea and vomiting that Pepto Bismol will try and capitalize on. Moral of the story: No one wants green eggs and ham.

Sounds like Dr. Suess is plotting revenge.

Aren't most dyes naturally sourced though?

the only thing with any nutrition in kraft mac n cheese is the yellow dye and the occasional bits of metal that are in there.
