I give input where I feel it may be useful. There are so many rubbish food deals on here I despair. If people can benefit from more info then that I consider worthwhile.
As escort boy says most threads consist of more than applause for the original post. Why anyone thinks it is inappropriate to mention nutritional facts in a thread escapes me.

If we transfer your comment over to say, graphics cards, you could say 'it's a site for deals not tech specs'.
Or if you're buying squeegees in a deal and someone suggests a Karcher window vac. You're getting extra information to aid the decision making process.
I know personally that the comment about healthy eating made me think twice and I won't be purchasing these now.
I'm not being awkward or confrontational, I just genuinely think that every bit of information that's relevant is a benefit to customers.
Something that this site doesn't advocate is whether you actually NEED something, which sites like MSE do cover. You could argue that it's due to the affiliate scheme that they aren't advertising things like - 'Think - do you really need this?' 'Make sure you can pay your rent if you bought this'
Financial responsibility is another story the other posters comment about health but pseudo related.

You could argue that this is a website for deals, not nutrition information.
Also the original comment wasn't exactly helpful or informative, he/she seems to think some people believe this to be health food? Very presumptive of them...

I agree with you, perfect information is the goal so that consumers make the right purchasing decision.
Shouldn't really censor relevant advice regardless of whether we like hearing it or not.

This is a site which is for deals and discussion, I shall do as I wish. If you ever post a deal I shall look out for it and possibly make a comment as is my right.

Roulette? As in playing Russian roulette with your health or more likely your children's health. Have you seen how much fat and sugar are in these? Of course OK for an occasional treat, but if given as a daily cereal cannot help anyone's health. Not a food fascist but just pointing out that there is 30% fat in them.

I don't disagree with you, compadre, but one of my kids is literally a nightmare to get to eat anything in the morning. Prob no more harm than a pain au chocolat, and tbh, my nightmare offspring will have gone off it by the time they finish the 2 packs. I hate them leaving the house without anything to eat tho, and I'm prepared to go with anything that'll work. Everyone else here eats whole bran cereals/porridge tho :smiley:
