thedailywhat: Infographic of the Day: The nonprofit organization Environmental Working Group reviewed 84 popular kids breakfast cereals and found that a disturbing number of them contain a disturbing amount of sugar. In fact, Kellogg’s Honey Smacks — which, funnily enough, was once called Sugar Smacks — contains more sugar in a one-cup serving than an entire Hostess Twinkie. Kellogg’s vice president of nutrition Lisa Sutherland told NPR that Honey Smacks are not marketed to kids and are “seldom eaten by them.” Not marketed to kids? That would explain Dig’Em, the cereal’s cartoon frog mascot with the funky sideways baseball cap. No, wait. The opposite. [npr / thedailyfeed.]
