Well the FDA is doing something big, and finally a topic I can reliably report on here.

The adding of refined sugar to our foods is strongly correlated with obesity and childhood diabetes. Not just diabetes, but added sugars alter your tastebuds, and can create children who don't want to eat vegetables or drink water.

Potential problems include:
-Basic staple food becoming more expensive.
-The introduction of artificial sugars to cereal.
-Junk or not, this stuff still keeps lots of poor kids alive.
-Potential food sources become unavalilable, because companies finding it less profitable to have cereal that's not labeled healthy.


Some solutions:
-Rebranding some cereal as 'high calorie', or 'energy' cereal. They just can't call it healthy. They couldn't sell this on the same scale iI'm sure, something else also has to be done.

-I know they won't use the word 'candy cereal' like they should.

-Doubling down on the low sugar cereal. Embrace a culture where people add their own stuff to cereal.

-Lucky charms could just sell bags of marshmallows, nobody looks for the word healthy on marshmallows anyway.

I don't care about high sugar cereals existing, I have a high calorie diet (trying to gain weight). They just shouldn't use the word healthy. The same way we shouldn't call energy drinks or cigarettes healthy.

FDA just woke tf up, and started saying everything i been trying to say for years.
