Better cereal, less advertising targeting kids.

Kellogg is going to dramatically reduce their advertising of unhealthy foods to children. Bravo. I wrote last year about my support of restrictions on advertising to children too young to understand the concept, but I just can’t reconcile that with my support of free expression. I’m glad Kellogg is reining themselves in and sparing me the mental challenge. (Via MeFi)

  1. I predict increased popularity, then, of Brendan Douglas Jones’ unusual web-comic, entitled “Breakfast of the Gods.”

    There’s trouble brewing in Cerealia, a land eternally bathed in morning sunlight. The king and his wizard advisor have disappeared and a shadow of evil has fallen over the land. Perhaps because he’s the wisest or ablest or perhaps because he’s the most noble soul in Cerealia, the old sailor named Cap’n Crunch has stepped up to lead the fight against Count Chocula’s forces of darkness. What follows is the most important battle of their lives as well as the most important meal of the day.
