It's frequently used to make food appear black. It has some legitimate uses but food shouldn't be one of them.

used to make food appear black.

Do you know what Halloween is...?

yes, we decorate our homes, dress up as spooky creatures, eat pumpkin related foods,... and apparently some people consume stuff that contains activated charcoal? for some reason?

People make bowls of eyeballs (peeled grapes) intestines (spaghetti) and chopped fingers (hot dogs). Spooky foods are a staple, and so is the orange/black color scheme.

I don't think capitalism is to blame for having Spooky Food at a Halloween party.
