About Cereal . . . in case you wondered

Sugary Cereals and Kids
While U.S. food companies are making healthier breakfast cereals for children, they're also aiming more ads for their unhealthiest products at kids, according to a report issued by the Yale University's Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity.
The "Cereal Facts" study assesses the industry's actions and finds that spending to promote child-targeted cereals was $264 million in 2011, an increase of more than 30 percent from 2008. The Rudd Center study follows a similar report three years ago.
