MODERATORS
They’re supposed to be a whole grain simple cereal. They’ve also marketed it as such and doctors recommend them for simple diets (or have in the past for me, maybe that’s changed)
In what world were cheerios considered “going to give you fucking reproductive issues”
Fuck outta here with your attitude
I guess it brings into question what is true and what is just blatantly made-up. Cheerios being a healthy alternative was only true because the box said so, because the commercials said so, because the “doctors” supposedly said so. When in reality, eating eggs or some kind of lean protein, greens and a piece of whole wheat toast would be a substantially healthier breakfast.
People don't like being told they were lied too and their 'thoughts on reality' are wrong. The amount of premade garbage people buy thinking is healthy is astonishing.
I eat processed foods, living in the States it’s nearly impossible to avoid. But I also don’t look at Cheerios and think they actually improve heart health, or that they provide any sort of nutritional benefit that any other cereal wouldn’t. It’s much more convenient for people to just believe what a box says instead of comparing the product to any other product on offer, or better yet reconsidering how healthy breakfast cereal is in general.
