Why? Unhealthy cereals and alcohol are both bad for you, so there's no fundamental difference between the two. It's just a question of whether the health consequences are as severe (and I don't know if they are).
Still no link from verifying the OP, not surprised.
I heard about this one recently. It seems Obama wants to do away with Toucan Sam, Tony The Tiger, Snap, Crackle and Pop, and the other mascots who attract children to certain cereals because he claims they are making our children fat. :lamo

obama does not want to ban cereal mascots. where did you get your information ?
He said he didn't get it from Rush Limbaugh. Maybe Glenn Beck or Alex Jones?
Under guidelines obtained by The Associated Press, companies would be urged to only market foods to children ages 2 through 17 if they are low in fats, sugars and sodium and contain specified healthy ingredients. The government is planning to propose the voluntary guidelines Thursday, according to three people familiar with the process who were not authorized to speak publicly.
What, exactly do you not believe, sir ?I heard about this one recently. It seems Obama wants to do away with Toucan Sam, Tony The Tiger, Snap, Crackle and Pop, and the other mascots who attract children to certain cereals because he claims they are making our children fat. :lamo
And this you heard from right-wing extremest radio ??I heard about this one recently. It seems Obama wants to do away with Toucan Sam, Tony The Tiger, Snap, Crackle and Pop, and the other mascots who attract children to certain cereals because he claims they are making our children fat. :lamo
Cmon, cereal mascots have nothing to do with obesity...tony the tiger was there before I was a kid...and my generation wasnt overly obese....this is very simple...this is whats making kids OBESE..
Worthless Parents...not just poor parents, but rich parents that are clueless what their kids are doing
Playing Wow and Xbox instead of playing hide and go seek and Ringalario
Cell phones and texting instead of walking to each others houses....or "meeting up somewhere" to talk...
SOCIETY is making kids fat ass's....not Mickie Ds or Tony the tiger
What, exactly do you not believe, sir ?
That our children are fat and our parents are irresponsible, cannot think for themselves ?
Or , do you wish for things to continue as is, without doing anything ?
This, I believe ..
Our children, from new born babes are fed a bunch of crap that does promotes poor health, the parents have quite the chore to combat this.
Our President is correct, he is trying to do the best thing - a lot more than I can say about most previous presidents.
Of course. Everything should be banned. Goldfish should be banned. Conservatives should be banned. Anyone who speaks ill of the current president should be banned. Happy Meals should be banned. Cigarette advertising should be banned. Political advertising should be banned. Hey, I had to throw in one I like. Ban bird feeders, ban chickens, ban private property, ban books, ban music, ban computer games.
Cereal? Give me a break. My kids didn't fix breakfast. I did. Damn it, your kids can eat pizza as mine did.

So anyone who has ever eaten a burger is unqualified to have an opinion on whether or not they should be marketed to kids? Should tobacco/alcohol companies be allowed to market their products to kids? If you answer anything other than "yes," I presume you have never smoked tobacco or drunk alcohol in your entire life, right?

Do you have a link to that or are you just making **** up off the top of your head?
In the end it's absurd to ban these things, they've been around for decades. It makes no one fat, the parents are the one's who buy and spoon out portions so they are at fault. But sometimes I don't know what's real and what's not with people's claims these days. "I heard Obama....."

Even if he's wrong about Obama, there have been research studies that conclude that children pick cereals based on recognizable, popular characters. So on that premise alone, should we ban characters on cereal all together, or use that knowledge to sell "healthier" cereals?

That may be true the first time but if they don't like the cereal they won't buy it again.
Maybe the govt should make all cereal taste like Shredded Wheat or make a law saying all mothers must make a hot breakfast for the kids.
My kids LOVE shredded wheat - the big bricks of it that you have to crumble up. MMM MMM Some strawberries or bananas = child heaven.
You are kidding right? If you are not can you train my kid too?
Nope - but it's expensive as hell so I don't buy it often.
My kids love that stuff - and crush it up into a cup of yogurt . . . did you know heaven could fit into a cup?
You are kidding right? If you are not can you train my kid too?
Start young, don't give them a choice.
