    Yay, marketing. The nutritional value of the cereal is probably next to nothing, but if you ate everything else, you’d get all the nutrients you’d need. 1% of the total is still “a part” of the complete breakfast. Technically not false advertising.

    Basically, the more food you see, the less nutritional value in the actual cereal.

      Depends on the cereal. Granola based cereal with nuts and fruits are pretty healthy if they have low sugar content.

        I can’t believe Frosted Flakes was/is legal to sell and advertise to kids with a mascot.

          Frosted Flakes is savory compared to some of those other cereals. Froot Loops is like just pouring a sack of sugar in your mouth. It also has a mascot and, unlike Frosted Flakes, it comes in lots of fun colors to appeal to kids.

          And all of this is legal.
