Always had a feeling they weren't listening.
Actually I've never had any kids, but if I did I probably would have raised them differently. I've been a health food nut since I left home, and that was fairly early.

Kellogg's Again Seeks to Harm Children

It can be both.
My job as a parent is to make good decisions, and educate my children about healthy eating.
Food manufacturers have a responsibility to be transparent with what is in the box, to enable me to make informed decisions.
If they are putting sugar and fat in a jar, and labelling it 'sugar and pig fat', then it's on me, is my opinion.
I've often thought mandatory cooking at school, clarity on food labelling, and a simple tax on high sugar foods (like there is on high alcohol foods) used to subsidise fresh vegetables would be more impacful than classes talking about nutrition and what we 'should' eat.

Or at least has the same effect. They want something sweet that children crave. Allulose is "natural". It can be found in foods that we eat now in small quantities. It is similar to olestra in that our bodies cannot digest it. My question, even if is is not harmful will kids be able to eventually taste the difference and know rhat does not give them the sugar" high" that they want?
It's interesting to me when you start looking at the behaviour of brands internationally, and how they adjust to local rules, etc...You named snack foods that aren't mentioned in the linked article.
Do you claim that those are ALL marketed as breakfast foods?
BTW, Kashi is one of the better cereals.

Why Blue Fruit Loops Are Banned in Australia & England, but Not America
Did you know that there are such things as blue fruit loops? If you live in America of course you do. But I didn’t have a clue. That’s because blue fruit loops have been banned in Australia (as well as England), but for some reason, they’re still okay in America.
They used to teach cooking when I was in school as an elective. Many people took it because it was an easy credit. It at least taught a person how to read a recipe and measure ingredients.
Its not offered here any more.

In my state there are some subsidies of healthy food finally in food stamps. If one shops well one can get produce at a greatly reduced cost. It covers any fruit or vegetables, frozen or fresh as long as there is no added sugar or salt.
Really? Woah...
I did it for four years at high school, with 2 of those being mandatory from memory. That was unusual, but most high schools here do a year at least.
And the bigger change is that many primary schools do it too, often using vegetables they've grown in their own gardens on the school grounds.
This shows schools participating in the biggest of these programs throughout Australia.

SNAP Produce Match
Shoppers who use Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)/EBT benefits can stretch their food budget to buy more fruits and vegetables with SNAP Produce Match at participating grocery stores!
That looks like a nice program. I wish they did that here.Here is the program I mentioned:

At almost 40% sugar I would disagree:
Sugar content of 50 popular breakfast cereals
Many food companies have taken steps to reduce sugar contents and incorporate more natural ingredients in their products, but that's not always the case with breakfast cereal. Stacker has compiled a list of 50 cereals ranked by their amount of sugar.

I get a lot of fiber in my diet. I mean alot. Lots of fruits, veggies, whole grain cereals etc. I tried to add even more by eating wheat bread but I just couldn’t take it or those fatty whole grain breads. so now I buy a refined bread with a little bit of fiber. Trust me, my body isn’t missing the extra fiber. Hey if a kid wants to eat frosted flakes with a little bit of fiber I say big deal.

12 grams per cup never killed anyone. How much cane sugar do you eat in a week?At almost 40% sugar I would disagree:

Hardly any. I splurged this week. I had my first ice cream sundae in about a year. And a few cookies. I do not have the sweet tooth that I had when I was young.

Sugary cereals, no. They're a part of a complete breakfast and balanced diet we're told.
