>The cochineal is a scale insect in the suborder Sternorrhyncha, from which the natural dye carmine is derived .... this insect lives on cacti in the genus Opuntia, feeding on plant moisture and nutrients. The insects are found on the pads of prickly pear cacti, collected by brushing them off the plants, and dried.
>The insect produces carminic acid that deters predation by other insects. Carminic acid, typically 17–24% of dried insects' weight, can be extracted from the body and eggs, then mixed with aluminium or calcium salts to make carmine dye, also known as cochineal. Today, carmine is primarily used as a colorant in food and in lipstick (E120 or Natural Red 4).

I don't have a problem with this. Paint is just paint, constitutes almost none of the bulk of the food, plus 99% of the shit they put this in is goyslop that I wouldn't be giving to my children anyways

You should be far more worried about this and whatever else they use to make the dye besides the bug.
