Kellogs Ricicles/sugar police
Discussion
Not always the easiest to find cereal, but upon browsing a number of supermarkets in recent weeks and found none, today googled it and discovered they have been discontinued due to the sugar content!!
im devastated.
frosties being reformulated too which is bad, but ricicles just cut. i doubt they sold many but my fave and a taste of childhood.
the sugar tax/police whatever it is really p's me off.
if i want to put s
te down my throat i should be allowed to, as long as i accept the consequences. I understand if i eat crap i then need to do extra exercise or modify my future diet accordingly.
the government should'nt force/encourage companies to produce lower sugar products. there should be choice. if a load of fatties with no self control can't limit there intake of unhealthy stuff they should be denied NHS treatment for weight related issues. the rest of us shouldnt suffer. likewise if their too stupid not to feed their kids a load of crap to make them fat too the rest of us shouldnt be punished by limiting our choice of products.

The problem with accepting the consequences is that whilst you might be willing to suffer whatever illness you get, someone else foots the bill.
That said, I do agree that I should be able to eat and drink what I want because I eat and drink crap in moderation.
no i said fatties shouldn't get nhs treatment. so no one foots the bill. they should just be left to get on with it and hThat said, I do agree that I should be able to eat and drink what I want because I eat and drink crap in moderation.
i have private med so my attitude is a bit i'm alright jack, but still i don't think the nhs should be free for lifestyle related illnesses (smoking/being a greedy pig) i draw the line at those.
arguments could be made about other lifestyle choices, ie sports injuries, driving too fast etc that could cause hospital visits potentially, but for those you are unlucky to get ill effects from them
...smoking and being obese are known, proven detriments to health, so for those you are lucky if you dont suffer from any illnesses as a result.

Is the Honey Monster on the dole?
yes and their rank now. horrible reformulation.Is the Honey Monster on the dole?
i saw a program about cereal once, they did a taste test of the 20 years ago (or similar) cornflakes formula to today's and the old one was apparently incredibly and unbearably salty. maybe the same will be true in 10 years of the reduced sugar cereals, but too me at least changing the sweetness of something that has always been and is meant to be sweet is going to be different to saltiness.

ah, yes but sugar on rice krispies is nothing like the precoated frosted nuggest of goodness that a ricicle is! just doesnt taste the same. plus you cant eat them raw (no milk) with sugar on just doesnt work. and

I have just checked my cereal store and have both Frosties and Cheerios so looked at nutrition on both per 30g serving...im devastated.

I’ve just had to go to Walsall. I’ll be glad when sugary foods are outlawed, you should have seen some of the fat, gormless looking fkers around there.
Humans can’t be trusted to eat sensibly any more. The recipes of the food manufacturers make sure that they can’t be resisted.

its called evolution which has sadly stopped witht eh advent of modern medicine and people not being held to account for the poor choices they make, and explains why there are so many feckless individuals around.
let all the fat greedy porkers die.
