And they advertise Special K to get your fibre - because too few

people get enough fibre? Hello? Where's the protein and fats that

provide natural bulk. And the hype on fibre needs is twisted and

lied about to the point it makes you sick. Who says slowing

digestion is a bad thing?

But again this is all to make money off the ignorance of the masses.

How do you introduce truth to the masses? The only way I know is one

person at a time. And yes, it is very very slow. Sadly.
