I think it's good that the company is being more conscientious about its products. Hopefully this will lead to healthier alternatives.
I really like the Kashi Heart to Heart cereal. It's like Cheerios, only better. I'm a big Kashi fan. I love their frozen waffles too. And Go Lean Crunch goes great with yogurt and fruit. |
No problem Steph, my reply was a bit long winded.
You know, I've never tried Kashi. I've been wanting to, but I get in a hurry and grab what I know. I'll be sure to try that next time.
The move they are making, it sounds like, is to stop advertising to kids. Much like the tobacco industry did by droping their cartoon characters like Joe Camel, and not having billboards within so many feet of a school. I don't know if it made kids less likely to start smoking or not, but I doubt it made much impact. The peers are a much bigger influence, and as Alex said, unless these kids do their own shopping it doesn't make that big of a difference.
But over all, I think it's a good idea to stop advertizing directly to kids.
