This new product range and marketing from M&S is bugging me and so I have an opinion I want to share...
1. Cornflakes are normally fortified with vitamins and minerals, which actually would make this healthier for most people. Especially when we think of low income families who really benefit from cereals being fortified with iron, B vitamins and folic acid. This helps prevent deficiencies!! Fortification does not mean 'unhealthy'.
2. We need to remember that more ingredients doesn't always mean 'bad'. Sometimes it does but not always. Nutritional diversity is important.
3. I also reckon that these cornflakes will taste so disgustingly bland that people will end up adding copious amounts of sugar, making the net result a whole lot worse!!
Not to mention the fact that this sort of 'solution' is just adding to more irrational ultra-processed food fears for people and focuses on the dreaded words 'clean eating' us Dietitians hate hearing ππ€
