This Week's Lighten-Up-and-Eat-a-Cookie (Er, Bowl of Flakes) AwardAugust 21, 2008
This Week's Lighten-Up-and-Eat-a-Cookie Award goes to health experts choking on their Kashi over the news that uber-Olympian Michael Phelps will appear on Frosted Flakes and Corn Flakes boxes, rather than Wheaties.
I'm sorry he won't be on Wheaties, too -- but only out of a nostalgia for one of the more brilliant cereal-marketing campaigns ever. As for Frosted Flakes, They're Grrrrrreat! A bowl of cereal isn't going to make a child obese. Aren't we supposed to be on a press to get them to simply eat something for breakfast before school? I grew up on Flakes for breakfast. My kids eat Flakes for breakfast. Michael Phelps eats them for breakfast. And look where it got him. |
