I would say the cut of age is 24 (post student) any time after that anyone who continues to eat them I would treat with a great deal of suspicion.

No child should eat this vile sugar laden rubbish
It creates a sugar spike, excitable behaviour and then a crash and empty tummy just as they hit school shame on any parent who falls for the marketing con |

They are meant for children and I guess students might eat then in a sort of post ironic way but why else would someone past those stages eat them? I think it would be very weird to say the least.

Shouldn't be allowed to start eating them until you can read and understand what is in them, hopefully by then you would know better anyway

Be careful, everything you say now may be treated with a great deal of suspicion!
![]() I'm not gonna shell out extra money for separate cereal for myself when I have finally found a brand my Autistic child will actually eat, especially as I only eat cereal once in a blue moon, I have far more important things to spend my money on

Thankfully my son has simple tastes, he's very happy with porridge, failing that Weetabix.

More shame on any parent who peddles the myth of the sugar rush.

The only food that I've ever seen turn my son into a "Tasmanian Devil" is actually Oats It doesn't matter what form they take either, whether it's flapjack or porridge or processed cereal, they all have the same reaction.My family must have the strangest genetic coding in the country! ![]()

My son has coco pops some mornings and he's just as lazy and laid back after eating them as he was before. I wish they did work but they don't. The only thing that's ever got him a bit hyper is coke.

The Coco Pops ad Kellogg's should be ashamed of
A poster aimed at schoolkids for a cereal that is 35% sugar is not 'socially irresponsible', says the ASA, but parents know better http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisf...schoolchildren |

what is wrong with giving him a breakfast that will fill him up and so him some good, or why not just give him a mars bar and save milk?
In my home there is no good and bad food, there's just food. |

It doesn't matter what form they take either, whether it's flapjack or porridge or processed cereal, they all have the same reaction.
