That's right, Michael! God forbid that poor people should get to choose what to eat or that they should eat anything that tastes good! Poor people should be punished for their poverty! It's their own fault is they can't get Honey Smacks--they don't deserve Honey Smacks! It's the only way they'll learn. And this article made so many references to poor folk and breakfast, I don't understand why other commenters haven't brought it up, too. It's important that whatever topic is being discussed, we point out the evils of welfare. In this day and age, anyone can get a job and pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. I agree--no cereal for welfare recipients!

do not understand why public need cannot influence the industry to put out a cereal with no sugar or sodium. swadly they are able to get endorsements from the diabetic group which tend to make the customers feel the cereal is the right thing for them no matter the sugar or sodium count.

the answer is not to eat any cereal then the problem would resolve itself. sort of that you might wish to contact thye cereal manufacturers with your request. of course you can presswure the do0 goos associationsw who endorse the product.

It's curious when studies are conducted to undertake the analysis of the obvious. I've always felt that products which contain high amounts of sugar (cereals, soft drinks, cookies, candy etc.) shouldn't be covered by food stamps. Having retired from the grocery business, I've seen first hand what goes through the check-stand--high sugar and high carbs. If folks on the welfare wagon can't make the proper choices for themselves, then we who foot the bill should make it for them. Unfortunately, the producers of these unhealthful foods would go up in arms and redouble their lobbying efforts were that to happen. It's ALL about the bottom line.

My daughter is allergic to corn, and even corn syrup, we are finding. We've been eating Oatmeal with a bit of brown sugar, and my kids can pick their "color" of sprinkles. It has a lot less sugar than commercial cereal, and they LOVE to pick their sprinkles. (Yes, some sugar is totally FINE). We also do water with every meal, as apple juice gives kids the runs). My daughter is also allergic to milk, so we use Soy Milk. When I tell people that my daughter is allergic to CORN, MILK, CHERRIES, and Nuts, they look at me with a very sad look and say, poor dear, what can she eat? Well, she can eat almost anything that isn't made in the store. Basically, we are all very healthy in our house. We can hardly buy any processed food, compared to a normal, non-allergic family. Candy is out (cept Yummy Earth Suckers, and a few types of Chocolate). (We pack Kosher hot dogs in a thermos, and bring our own dairy free hot dog buns, and organic ketchup when we go out to places where other kids get "fast food" It keeps the hotdogs warm, and our kids don't feel deprived. Basically, in America, we just have to start making our own food again, and stop relying on food scientists to tell us what is good and bad. Just eat a variety of UNPROCESSED foods, eat until you are full, and STOP.

And to those posters who say Pizza is bad... You're idiots. We make all of our pizza from scratch. It is easy, cheap, and healthy. It makes a great meal, (with the right supplements) for any meal of the day.
