I thought this was a joke or AI.
The comments on BS ha ha

So this is basically just another Magic Spoon, I'm guessing? Except instead of "get your childhood back but healthy" it's "eating this cereal validates your masculinity". Fine, but FWIW Magic Spoon and other "adultified" cereals are stupidly expensive and taste freaking horrendous on top of it.

Totally only regular Froot Loops and Sugar Smacks for me here, like a proper irresponsible adult.

lol - nah, that's not the same. Looks like that's basically regular bran and oat cereals and such, just organic.

Magic Spoon et al are something else entirely.

RFK Jr comes for Dunkin’: ‘MAHA’ health secretary wants chain to prove iced coffees are safe for teens

“We’re going to ask Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks, ‘Show us the safety data that show that it’s OK for a teenage girl to drink an iced coffee with 115 grams of sugar in it,’” Kennedy said. “I don’t think they’re gonna be able to do it.”

Flavored iced coffees at Dunkin’ can have between 18 and 67 grams of sugar, while the chain’s frozen beverages can range from 100 to 180 grams.

Meanwhile, adding a flavored syrup to a Starbucks iced coffee adds approximately 20 grams of sugar to the drink. The chain’s frozen offering, known as the frappuccino, can have between approximately 40 and 80 grams of sugar.
While I'm no fan of Mr Kennedy's, I can't help but think he has a point. This is the official guidance over here:

  • Adults should have no more than 30g of free sugars a day, (roughly equivalent to 7 sugar cubes).

While yes, there's certainly a case to be made for shoveling less sugar into humans, the whole "prove this is safe" tactic is bullshit. You can't prove that steamed broccoli is safe. You can't prove anything is safe, especially if the people to whom you are trying to prove it keep moving the goal posts on what "safe" means. It's the Health & Safety equivalent of "prove Bigfoot doesn't exist."

Pure anti-vaxxer crapola.

I suspect Dunkin' and Starbucks failed to adequately grease someone's palm or kiss someone's butt.

"Isn't all food bad for you, though? I mean, I've been eating nothing but lasagna and muffins for my entire adult life and I feel awful."
