Vector cereal is it really good for you?
Posted: Sun Sep 10, 2006 7:57 am
It makes me nuts to see all this vector talk and ads like it is a God sent to runners.
My 2 cents is that Kellogs should take their marketing budget down by a million adn put it into creating a cereal that is going to benefit us.
Exhibit a
Rice, whole wheat, sugar/glucose-fructose, soy protein, rolled oats, soy protein concentrate, vegetable oil, salt, honey, rice flour, barley malt syrup, natural and artificial flavour
It has 4 different sugars?
21g of sugar and 2.7 g of fiber.
And what does natural and artificial flavour mean? Check what falls under that category at the CFIA site.
I have no problem with cereal, but when the running room teams up with it I find it sad.
I know it's business, but hey, the running room should be promoting healthy eating and a good healthy day would not start with a cup of Vector cereal.
Check out shredded wheat.
almost 0 sugar
6 g of fiber.
add some berries and a few nuts to that and BAM!!! A very healthy breakfast.
Now that my distance running friends is some high end fuel...
(I am grumpy in the morning)
