Kellogs = evil?

Postby Scott » Wed Sep 05, 2007 2:47 pm

for ages Ive hated the advertising that kellogs do and pretty much wouldnt touch anything they make with a pole but the latest 'rice krispies' advert (in the UK) really boils my piss.
This dude telling his 2 kids about how a rice krispie is made (to paraphrase)
" Mr Kellogs takes a grain of rice and fluffs it up"
oh really? fluffs it up huh! the rice I have in my kitchen contains a 'trace' of sugar so how come a rice krispie is 10% sugar? how come sugar is the second listed ingrediant (ie second highest content) how come rice krispies would have a 'red' light (due to such a high salt content) under the new food standards agencys' proposed traffic light system where by the unhealthiest foods have red lights and the healthy foods have green lights?

Kellogs have been pulled up loads of times for misleading adverts. why dont they just have the balls to print what they really seem to want to say on the back of their products:
nutrition information
You dont have a right to know what you eat. just shut the fuck up and buy our shit. stop asking questions. if we wanna cover frosties in cocaine we fuckin will..... ok.
at least then I would have a bit of respect for them ;-)

shit, they billed their nutrigrain 'elevensies' as healthy but didnt mention that they were only 'healthy' when compared to other snack foods such as chocolate bars and bacon sandwiches (although Id have a bacon sandwich any day, as long as kellogs didnt make it).

theres pure loads of these 'misleading' claims that they have been pulled up for.

kellogs frosties: "they're gggrrrrr- ummm slightly better than a kick in the bollocks." :roll:

Once read many many moons ago that Kellogs are the main funders for research into diabetes and this is why cereals & grains get such a high billing :roll:

"Big Agra" as the agricultural industry is referred to on this blog gets a regular beating.

While we're on the subject of some of these so called "healthy" foods, I can't believe how ignorant some (maybe most) people are about simple nutrition. You'll see them pushing the trolley down the aisle filled with "Low fat" this and that. I swear some day I'm going to print off a load of "0% FAT" labels and slap them all over the bags of sugar. I'll bet they just fly off the shelves.

totally agree. also people can be really naive when it comes to nutrition but cnuts like kellogs dont help matters with their lies and spin. They try their best to hide information and when that fails they just talk shite.
I remember one cereal advert (cant remember which... prolly kellogs!) where they were banging on about how you would be a shit parent if you sent your kid to school without this cereal coz it was scientifically proven to help kids concentrate....... the scientific study was the cereal against a fuckin sports drink! Damn, I always send my kids to school on a bottle of powerade :roll:

Theres not nearly enough info about nutrition for the average person. I only started getting anal about it when I got into BBing.

Kellogs was the man for the colon/intestine health many moons ago and invented the cornflake to aid in this but it all got lost when milk and sugar was added :grin:

It's a perfect marketing solution. You feed kids a diet that can cause a "behavior disorder", then you give them drugs to "cure" that disorder. :evil:
