Slow down.
The WSJ reports that General Mills is asking for other cereal makers to step it up a notch in the advertising game to help boost industry sales. Sales are reportedly slumping due to “lower-carb, higher-protein” foods that are more convenient. The below quote from the article says:

What?
Is our society so busy that the simple act of pouring a bowl of cereal is “too inconvenient”? While I am no fan of cereal for breakfast, it’s a sad commentary that an expert can say that sentence and be taken seriously.

Do yourself a favor, take the time to eat a healthy breakfast made of real food.
