Kellogg's Again Seeks to Harm Children

[Heyo]

That no evidence has been collected, does not indicate none is available. It is probably hard to distinguish from the total pool of the progressive evidence as smoking has reduced. The trend is certainly not equal on a world wide basis. In some countries smoking in public is still a common sight.

We had that multiple times in the recent past: absence of evidence is evidence of absence if evidence is expected.

I wonder about the linked source's claim that blue coloring
is really that bad. Why? It's an anti-gluten site.

Fear of gluten. Oh no! I wonder if their British or Australian vegetarian contributors shun seitan?

 

[Revoltingest]

Neither do I and as I roll myself, I don't look for cigarette vending machines. But ours are only usable with an ID card (Personalausweis) so that the legal requirement to not sell cigarettes to minors is met.

I dint look for ciggy vending machines.
One just presented itself unbidden at
the Munich airport.

I don't have celiac disease, so gluten is wonderful.

My brother is Seventh Day Adventist. Cooked gluten is used as a protein source at times. They would have it at Thanksgiving besides the turkey. It took me a while, but I finally tried it, and it is quite good. At least the way that they make it.

Go gluten!
Like peanuts, tomatoes, shellfish, soy, & other foods,
they're not for everyone. But for those of us who
aren't allergic to them, they're great.

When I was a kid, my parents always refused to buy us breakfast cereal, candy, or soft drinks except occasionally, and we had to have such things in a very controlled manner, not all at once.

As a kid, I was sometimes upset with them for denying us "fun," but now I can't be grateful enough. Diabetes runs in both sides of my family, and it would have been a disaster for me to have so much sugar early on. I've also never had any weight issues even though many kids where I lived my childhood did.

Its good you appreciate that. Our mother bought a lot of junk. Soda was a treat, but everything else was always around. I went vegan at 16(and stayed so for 7 years), and that automatically meant I couldn't eat any of it any more. I shed a lot of weight really fast, and my immune system became extremely strong.

Unfortunately, that meant I couldn't call in from school because I was healthy all the time. I had to learn to play sick.

Some Asian countries use fried gluten in their meat replacements. I pick it up sometimes. Its pretty good!

I remember from decades ago, a Chinese vegetarian
restaurant near DC called The Vegetable Garden.
It served dishes made with "monks' vegetables".
Good stuff.

 

[Watchmen]

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.

Right. And the Kellog’s label shows loads of sugar.

 

[Watchmen]

That is the same as victim blaming.
It is Kellogg's making and marketing the junk to vulnerable people.
That is what street drug sellers do.
Sell it cheap to get them addicted.
It is always junk food that has the special offers.
It is also the most profitable.

How about personal responsibility? Didn’t say it was easy, but I don’t eat crap, I don’t do drugs, and so on.

 

[Revoltingest]

How about personal responsibility?

That's government's job.
It knows what's best for us.

I was a latchkey kid for the most part, so there were many days I skipped breakfast entirely. Not much soda while I was growing up, although by the time I got to college, I started drinking soda by the gallon, but was able to burn it off pretty quickly until I reached a certain age. Then I started gaining weight, although for a time I was bicycling to work and lost more than 50 pounds in one summer. I also gave up soda and drank only water, which was also helpful for losing weight. Nowadays, I only have an occasional soda, nowhere near the level I consumed in the past.

Soda's my worst addiction now. But I've cut back to one a day, at least.

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.

Well I guess my daily Raisin Bran Crunch wasn’t so healthy after all

I've noticed by reading labels that ordinary
Raisin Bran is better than the "Crunch" version.

Yup, even adults can be duped by advertising and labels. I think they expect us to respond to impressions rather than look for information.

My opinion you're better off not eating breakfast at all, but if you're going to try muesli: Muesli - Wikipedia

 

[Subduction Zone]

Right. And the Kellog’s label shows loads of sugar.

Only thirty or forty percent. Oops, 'scuse me, time for my insulin shot.

 

[Soandso]

Amen!

I've always skipped breakfast, but I found recently unless I wake up feeling full, it serves me better to make a point to eat early, or I'll get super hungry in the afternoon and make poor food choices, and in quantities that are unreasonable.

Though, when I do go for breakfast, it tends to be a bowl of Indian style vegetables(with maybe a quarter cup of rice, or a chapati if I'm particularly hungry). Not the normal load of starch that is typical.

Both Raisin Bran and Raisin Bran Crunch suffer a bit when it comes to "sugar" because the natural fruit sugars count as part of the total sugar content. I have a prejudice for natural fruit sugars versus sucrose. If you just count sucrose or corn syrup then your favorite would be much "healthier".
