Plus, food manufacturers just want to jump on whatever bandwagon they see for profit; they don't really care about your health. Potato chips could be gluten-free too, but I don't think you should eat them for breakfast either. (though at least they don't have all of those dyes). You are right about overusing ‘wholesome’.

Not to be gross, but her poop was the EXACT color of the blue & green in the cereal. That combined with the way the cereal clings to the bowl as if it's glued on after you're finished... ick. This is just one of those parent moments where you have to suck it up & listen to the whining because you know what's good for them.

Real food doesn't come in those colors! I love this post, and it’s so true now that Gluten Free is the “in thing” more and more companies are going to pushing their crap on to the GF community.

Thank you! You’re right, the marketing is powerful and directed to busy, overworked parents. The bottom line is all about money. It’s not that I think making money is a bad thing, that is the purpose of business, but gosh, we’re in a health care crisis in this country. It’s time to start voting with our forks! Say no to this junk and join a CSA. =) GFD,

The "other companies" will follow suit simply because GF is booming and they want to get in on the action. It has nothing to do (for the big industry foods) with caring about people. It's about money. Deanna,

We have been gluten free for almost two years now and I have to say that I much preferred the gluten-free items available when we started this journey. Quite limited which left us fewer choices so we really had few modifications to our nearly whole food diet. As my young kids are now in early elementary the convenient food options seem to enter much more often than I would prefer! Wonderful post! Thank you! So, so sad =( I hate seeing things like this.

No matter how "wholesome" cereal is, it just doesn't cut it first thing in the morning. Dry crunchy stuff shoots blood sugar up too quickly and then causes a drop shortly thereafter causing hunger and ADD symptoms. I can imagine this stuff does that job even faster! Advertising is so sad....we all need to just look beyond it no matter how hard it is sometimes. Thanks for the detective work and sharing this! -Ali :) How about not serve kids cereal in the morning, period! No matter how “wholesome” cereal is, it just doesn’t cut it first thing in the morning.

Today, it was three women with two small children and they were being fed tic tac's & gummy hamburgers before their meal of chicken tenders & french fries. The human race is doomed.
