Now I’m not usually a health nut. Usually the opposite, actually. But one thing I love to death is Muesli. When I was back home and my mom had some extra money, she’d buy me some Muesli and I’d be in heaven. I liked the raisins, oats, and bits of banana. Since I’ve been up here, I’ve actually gone as far as ordering some online. Kellogg’s has an imitation, Mueslix, but it doesn’t quite cut it. After all, it’s crunchy.
I stumbled upon some granola, Kashi Orchard Spice Granola, so I decided to try it out. I paid a whopping three ($3) bucks for a tiny lil’ 13oz box, but I was hoping it would taste good. I got home from the store and dumped some into a bowl. I couldn’t wait. My mouth was practically watering.
But then after I filled up my bowl and put down the box, something felt wrong. The box felt incredibly light and it was only one bowl. Half the box was gone! I was pissed. There was one more bowl left in the dumb box. I picked up the box to check how many were supposed to be in there; it said seven (7) servings were supposed to be in the box. A serving in 1/2 a cup.
Is this how companies are claiming produce healthy food? Is that how they can say a serving contains only 220 calories and 1g of saturated fat? So, in order to fulfill their serving sizes, I’d have to shovel no more than five (5) spoonfuls of this crap. Then what’s the point?
Consumers need to make sure they understand what a serving sizes are when they read nutrition labels. Really, who eats half a cup of cereal anyway? At least it does taste good, even if it’s crunchy.
