Recently I was in the cafe below the gym where I work. I was talking to the owner and got talking about breakfasts. So proudly I said I'd had a banana, blueberries, almonds and a live natural yogurt. The owners sister in law was there and piped up "why don't you eat something healthy like Special K instead".
I was stunned to say the least. My breakfast consisted of healthy fats, protein, healthy carbs fibre and antioxidants. I'm still gob smacked that somebody would say such a thing.
How on Gods Earth could Special K, the refined, sugar laden, excuse for food be healthier than fruit?
But I suppose it shows the power of advertising. The general public have been conned into believing a breakfast cereal, with a glycaemic index way higher than table sugar is healthier than fruit.

Oz,
I had a conversation with a very nice but totally lost individual at a gym in swindon on Wednesday. He was confused because he was dieting hard and had already lost nearly 26 pounds of blubber since September, but couldn't understand why his weight-loss had stalled. When I asked him what his daily feedings consisted off he proudly told me that he ate a large chicken or beef salad for his dinner each night, and cheerios 3-4 times a day....???!!! What tha fug! These lying crap non food dealers should be hunted down as drug dealers are. Imagine if the yanks created a junk food police force like the D.E.A. That kick in your door and waste everone who opposes them and then drags you off to Gitmo' because you are the CEO of Kellogs.
Food for thought Hmm!!
