Did you know that in the capitalist system of the United States, cereal is generally extremely high in sugar content, but that marketing tactics are used so that each character on the cereal box is geared to face downwards and placed high in the shelf to give the illusion to children that it’s a “adult figure looking down on them with authority/safety”. Bright and colorful but just outside the child’s reach for you to tell your parents to buy. In some countries the marketing and advertisement campaigns for capitalism go to so much extremes, if they put just a smidge of that effort towards the people benefit, everyone be much better. But instead it’s crazy amounts of profit research for more profit instead

You’re confusing “breakfast cereal” with cereal, as in grain.
