How to Make Kids Husky

Forget McDonald's and soda--oats are the reason for our country's obesity epidemic. The proof is right there in the copy. Not convinced? In 1987, Wilford Brimley was the spokesperson for Quaker Oats. Now he has "diabeetus". Coincidence? I think not.

Wow, that must've been a drop kick!
How else to explain the other players so far in the backfield behind the kicker?
Speaking of "husky," Jason Alexander just became the new spokesperson for Jenny Craig.

Sorry, Mr. Brimley is very much alive & still performing...

Brimley was diagnosed with diabetes 30 years ago (source: http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2008/dec/19/actor-wilford-brimley-surprised-award-american-dia/), well before the Quaker Oats commercials.

intresting and good information....

Actually, proper rolled oats are low GI and a good choice of breakfast cereal for diabetics. They are also low fat so hardly likely to be a major cause of obesity. Now, the sugar, butter and syrup that people often add to them can be a cause for both diabetes and obesity.
