DEL.ICIO.USKellogg’s sugar bomb dropped
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Yesterday morning the Kellogg Company, makers of some mighty kid-friendly cereals, announced it would limit advertising of its foods to children 12 and under. Some of their sugary cereals are said to contribute to childhood obesity, critics say. Still, purchasing power lies (mostly) with parents. How do you think the new advertising limits will affect your decisions at the grocery store? Do you buy your kids the cereals they ask for, or the ones you think are good for them?

I grew up on Frosted Flakes. I was never over weight. Three or four bowls was not unheard of. Today’s kids are fat because of their parents negelect and nothing else. They allow their children to live in air-condtioned comfort while plugged into a Playstation. Two income households have a lot to do with it.
