Cereal Companies Fail to Cut Content in the U.S.

Article 

    Obesity  rates have increased by 4-5% across the globe! This is why companies like Nestle and General Foods are reducing the amount of sugar (by 24%) and sodium (by 12%) contained in their breakfast cereals. By 2015, your Lucky Charms and Cinnamon Toast Crunch will be altered in response to the growing waistlines of children.  Both companies also plan on adding more whole grain and calcium in their products too. Unfortunately, these nutritional makeovers will be adapted in many countries around the world, but the United Stats is not on the list. This is very odd because the United States also has alarming incidence rates of obesity in all age categories. Isn’t this odd?
