General Mills Cereals to Drop Smart Labels

General Mills announced this week it would drop "Smart Choices" labels from its products, including cereals.

The company planned to put these labels on up to 67 items including General Mills cereals such as Chocolate Lucky Charms and Cheerios, but bowed to public pressure after the Food and Drug Administration said the labels misled consumers, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.

Food companies created the labels as an easy way to find healthy foods in the grocery store, but drew criticism when it appeared on mayonnaise and Froot Loops, the paper said.

Why I'll never buy cereal straws

cereal straws

OK, confession time: I don't drink the milk in my cereal bowl.

Well, I eat my cereal with milk poured over it, of course. I'm just not one of these people who slurps up the leftover milk once my cereal is gone. I've never understood why people do this. I usually pour just enough milk to eat my cereal so there's no milk remaining when I'm done with my Cheerio's or Quisp or Corn Pops. If there is milk leftover I actually put a little more cereal in the bowl or just throw the milk away.

So that's why I'll never buy the new cereal straws from Kellogg's. It sounds like a fun idea, but it's nothing I'd ever use.

Has anyone else tried them?
