Anecdote my childhood… my mom always did the shopping. One day my dad takes me and when it comes time to get a cereal I pick Cookie Crisp, because YOLO I’m not going to get this opportunity again! We get home. My mom sees I selected the cookie cereal and yells at us. We should both know better! She wanted to see Fruit Loops, our commonly purchased cereal. I was only like, eight, but read all the little words in the white box and their amounts. They were practically the same. Didn’t matter. Into the trash the box went. In her head it was no better than Chips A’hoy crushed up in a bowl. Cookies! For breakfast! The Fruit Loops however, we’re clearly some healthy option, because, you know, FRUIT. My mom is not dumb at all, but seemingly never put an ounce of thought into this. So I’m torn that everyone should know they’re all sugar, and I have a clear example of people just not ever really considering it.
