What's REALLY in the Cereal?

You might take for granted that a cereal labelled on the front as "Total Blueberry Pomegranate" would contain, maybe some blueberries or pomegranate, especially since it also boldly claims to contain "100% Nutrition". You could be in for a surprise if you read the back of the box.  


So how much real blueberry or pomegranate was in the box? 
30%? Nope.
20%? Getting warmer.
10%? That's still being optimistic.
0%?? Correct! 


Total Blueberry Pomegranate cereal contains absolutely none of the ingredients you would expect from reading the front of the box. In fact, its totally misleading. This is not an accident. This is a marketing ploy, designed to cash in on the growing awareness of the many health benefits of these foods.


What's the moral of the story? Buyer Beware! The only bits on food packaging that are worth reading are the ingredients list and the nutritional info. The rest is bullsh*t thats about as truthful as an Irish politician discussing a bank bailout!
