    See how you almost sound credible and then readers slowly realize that the average bowl of Special K cereal contains more sugar than a Krispy Kreme doughnut. Nutritional information on cereals is often misleading because its based on unrealistic serving sizes as displayed (people will often eat larger portions of food they perceive as “healthy”).

      This is only tangentially relevant, but I am baffled at how this is allowed:

      “100% Vitamin C per 8oz” – container only holds 6.75oz

      I’m people and i tend to eat 3 times the suggested serving, not because i think it’s healthy it’s because i’m trying to not lose more weight.

      I’m already bodybuilder stage ready low bodyfat, their serving sizes seem to be aimed at lazy office workers who sit on a chair 10h a day and not the commute to work by bicycle 40km a day and have a physically demanding job for 8h lifting heavy shit and running around.

      I need more food to survive. Make it more affordable if you’re not going to adjust my wage to your demands of my body.
