Wow, just wow.

I love sugar, but I seriously object to this kind of product. What decent parent would feed this kind of rubbish to their kids? And as for the manufacturer, !!!!!! is the "'goodness" they refer to. Someone tell the ASA.

the sort of parent that gives it occasionally and realises that although they are full of sugar they also have wholewheat and all the goodness of milk, compared with the empty calories of sweets? Or the sort that has very little money and is thankful to find something they can afford ?

Perhaps, it maybe the misleading motion of "goodness" and fortification leads them to inadvertently dose their kids with sugar?

They do, and most of us do eat it but there's a big difference between an adult making an informed choice and a company marketing their trash towards innocent children. I feel strongly about this as you can tell

I do agree about the way they are marketed to children. It is uncalled for. Parents have a difficult time enough without manufacturers undermining education about healthy eating.
I think we might all be better off if food was sold in plain packaging.

We're going off-topic here, but this is often used as excuse for poor decisions. In the deprived boroughs of East End of London huge bilks of fruit and veg can be bought for £1. How much preparation does eating an apple or pear take?

Got the 'pringles things' on way home today. Thanks for posting.
I bought the bags of Snickers a couple of weeks ago....I have to say they had an unpleasant taste to them...might be something to do with the nuts.

Everybody's decisions are "poor" according to somebody else. I believe that most parents do the best they can with what they have got.

I am glad that fruit and vegetables are cheap in the East End, but
in many areas the prices are sky high and a £1 is a lot of money for some.
An apple or pear is not a substitute for breakfast cereal anyway because they provide a different nutritional function.
