Disease Proof

A U.K. standards agency has upheld complaints against Kellogg’s for advertisements implying their cookies are healthy, when they’re actually high in sugar and saturated fat. And while Kellogg’s didn’t do anything factually wrong, the agency contends Kellogg’s places emphasis on the wrong things, i.e. the scant vitamins and minerals in the cookies. When reached for comment, a company representative said the cookies are just a sweet treat with a little bit extra; from FoodNavigator.

Yeah, you got to be pretty stupid to think cookies are healthy. Now, in October a study revealed Kellogg's Honey Smacks breakfast cereal contains as much sugar as a Dunkin’ Donuts glazed doughnut. Kellogg’s cereals are also loaded with salt. Eek!

It’s been tough for Kellogg’s lately. Their peanut butter’s got salmonella and celebrity spokesman Michael Phelps is now a pot head.
