Cereal for dinner?

âTheyâ want your kids hooked on sugar!
Whoâs âtheyâ?
The corporate food giants who only care about one thingâŚ(And it ainât your kids)
PROFITS.
I was watching one of my favorite podcasts the other day, PDP PodcastâŚ
And this story pops up about the CEO of Kellog on CNBCâŚ

âStay fat and medicated, poor peopleâ
Kellogg's is making a big marketing push to convince families that their sugar-laced cereals should now be a staple for dinner since food costs have risen.
I donât personally know the CEO of Kellogs, maybe heâs a great guyâŚ
But the push to drive profits on their stock while promoting to financially strapped families to eat a pound of sugar for both breakfast and dinner isâŚ
WRONG!
I grew up in the 80âs and was raised on these cereals. I loved me some frosted flakes too.
But as I said in my last post, this ainât 1985 anymore and we know better.
Did I survive? Sure. But perhaps not being raised on those foods would have helped me even more.
As a father equipped with the right knowledge and wisdom, I refuse to constantly feed my kid garbage.
I love him too much.
That doesnât mean we canât deviate once in a while.
However, when we go food shopping, itâs an investment in ourselves.
Itâs a daily investment in your child.
Theyâre worth it. Youâre worth it.
I feel the food bill just as much as the next person when we shop.
But Iâd rather cut out cable, eat out a little less, or cut back on anything else that doesnât pay the same dividends as feeding my kids the right foods for their nourishment.
Thatâs just a principle my wife and I have set in stone.
So sorry, Tony the Tiger, you ainât welcome here.

At least I still have my He-Man and Hulk Hogan I can still share with my son đ
In your corner,
Greg
