If the worst that a country government'll do to us, is make sure we eat
better... I'll live there any day and be happy about it."No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment

Absolutely - we'll not tolerate any of that "honesty" BS. I think where the debate is going here is whether or not the government should step in and save people from themselves, and whether or not it's fair to screw over the responsible people in the process. And those are political questions......Comment

You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

I apologize if my comments were taken as political as I didn't mean it to sound that way.
I was attempting to point out that I have grown tired of our governing bodies having to put warning labels on music, video games, TV shows, force companies to discontinue or change products, etc all because we can't properly teach our children what is and isn't good/bad for them or age appropriate. It is more of a reflection on a generation of poor parenting then anything political. Sorry if it came out wrong.
As I saw it the topic of Captain Crunch cereal being discontinued is more of a catalyst to a much larger problem.
That was all I meant. Sorry everyone. I didn't mean to show any disrespect to this wonderful community I enjoy so much.

Uh never fear, dudes. I just saved Captain Crunch. He's even getting a Facebook as a result:

I personally don't like sugary cereals...I like plain corn flakes or plain cheerios with fruits...but...if folks love them...more power to them...they should be able to eat whatever they want...I know I do...

It's ALWAYS been "toast, juice, milk and [Cheerios]....part of a balanced breakfast". It's our fast-paced hectic lifestyles that have chosen to eliminate the other parts of the equations over the years, not the cereal companies.

No disrespect taken at all. We've just learned the hard way over the years that people's passion on both sides of issues like these end up making for hard feelings.I apologize if my comments were taken as political as I didn't mean it to sound that way.

And I totally agree with Scott that it's sad that you can't even talk about cereal without someone bringing up some paranoid conspiracy about how America sucks because the government forced PepsiCo to stop making Cap'n Crunch.
And if you do more than a second's research on Google, you'll find that the article wasn't even true:

That's exactly what I was going to say, "Everything in moderation." My kids get a healthy breakfast. But a Saturday here or there filled with cartoons, Captain Crunch, and a bowl of fruit isn't going to kill them. It's the people who let their kids eat three bowls a morning, every day, and sit in front of the TV all summer, who are the catalyst for stuff like this.Comment
