Can you believe it? The wokeists are encouraging kids to read.

...they don't think that maybe boycotting their child's favourite breakfast cereal on ideological grounds might lead to their kids to grow up seeing their parents as a bunch of killjoy fanatics?

I agree with the host of the vid...who agrees with these "conservatives" on the one point: that children shouldnt be fed pure sugar crap like fruit loops.

Parents who DO give their kids fruit flavored cereal but dont give them real fruit need to be...flogged in the public square for child abuse.

But for the ideologues in question the main issue is that the cereal boxes come with some kind of literature they dont like. That influences children to be ...nice people.

Encouraging children to be kind and less judgmental is the worst part of the woke agenda. :evil:

They aren't even Fruit Loops.

They're called FROOT LOOPS.

Yes that's really teaching kids to spell, he said sarcastically.

I'm sorry to play devil's advocate and to appear to side with the conservatives, but I hate mainstream cereal boxes, and would feel violated if I had to live in a home that had them on view. Even when I bought a box or two of hippie-type breakfast food in the 1970s, the propaganda on the boxes was too much for me so I threw the boxes away and just kept the stuff in the inner bags. I still transfer eggs from the ad-infested boxes into a nice plain egg box, when I can be bothered. But I don't talk about it much. I just quietly keep commercialism out of my life, and if others don't, that's up to them.

But I take the point, that some conservatives hypocritically make a big thing of pretending the "cancel culture" is purely a loony left thing.

There's lots of good criticisms of what's available in the breakfast cereal aisle, I just don't think wokeness is among them.

Conservative Politicians will NEVER see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Not that this has ever happened before, right?

Took more than being denied a bowl of Sugar Puffs to make kids resent their parents when I was a lad.

EDIT: I hear they were renamed Honey Monster Puffs in 2014, with a transition phase in which they were called Honey Monster Sugar Puffs, to wean the proletariat onto the new concept. But:

"In 2009, as part of Red Nose Day, Honey Monster appeared with many other advertising icons in a self-deprecating sketch called 'The Greatest Minds in Advertising'. As the punchline Honey Monster silences his colleagues by singing a song in falsetto (not his trademark deep voice) exhorting people not to buy advertised products but to give their money to Comic Relief instead."
