    I would guess it’s not necessarily poor people buying it but for people that were eating fast food/takeout and now the prices are too high to keep up that lifestyle. If you’re lazy than cereal is a great go to and still cheaper then fastfood. If you’re actually poor and lazy, you aren’t buying kellogs unless you have poor money management skills. I know I’m not buying any kellogs brand, I haven’t in probably 5 years.

    This news segment was frustrating though, the man shows no sympathy and only talks about making a bigger profit off of the situation.

      It really isn’t. At least have some muesli instead. Cereal is just sugary junk food.

        Kellogg’s Original (and most offbrand versions of it) doesn’t actually contain much sugar, it’s mostly just straight corn, salt and malt. Oatmeal is still better, but a lot of people find it less tasty.
