The breakfast of champs

[Freedomless]

During her keynote address, Dr. Nestle pointed out that the food companies are now “afraid that they may have to have warning labels on their foods, jut like cigarette companies have on their cigarettes. They are also worried that their foods will end up in sections or aisles entitled “Junk Food”.” I find it shocking that companies, like General Mills, are in complicity with the American Heart Association who endorses sugar-laden cereals like “Count Chocula”. According to Dr. Nestle, cereals like this “don’t even pretend to be healthy.” She told the audience that she had recently attended a forum where she had been yelled at by a very high official at General Mills who said it “didn’t matter whether the cereals were healthy or not, and that the whole point of serving these breakfast cereals was to encourage children to drink milk.” It seems frightening that an official at General Mills doesn’t seem to care whether or not a cereal is healthy! Whatever happened to a traditional, wholesome breakfast of eggs and/or porridge? My golden rule is to choose nutrient-dense whole foods and avoid foods that have been subjected to a high heat process (such as boxed cereals, crackers and chips).
