Rant: Cheerios

Okay, so I don't know if this has been nationwide but I'm going to assume so. Lately I've been seeing a lot of Cheerios commercials about how Cheerios are good for your heart and cholesstoeral (if that's how you spell it). It constantly says lower your cholessteral 4% in 6 weeks. Many find this appealing, take it from me, it is a load of shit. First of all, my chollesterall is about 180 points. That's about average, I think. Now 4% of that is 6 points. So you're telling me to lower my cholesstoerol by 6 points, I have to eat those near tasteless little Os for breakfast every day, six weeks straight. No eggs, no pancakes, no hash browns, no bacon, dream on. And how do I know they mean every day for 1 meal, they may mean every meal, I don't know, THEY DON'T SPECIFY. Listen, if you want to lower your cholessteral more than 6 points in a month in a half, put down the ice cream, get your ass off the couch and go run a mile, I do it, and it works. Or better yet, take some Lipitor that'll drop it 30% in 4 weeks. Don't be fooled by that smart ass bee. There are better easier ways to help your heart than eating Cheerios.
