Apple Jacks

On the side of the box of Apple Jacks, it says in a large typeface:  "Family life is better when your kids are healthy."  There are so many things I dislike about this, it's hard to know where to start.  How about here:  And what does eating Apple Jacks have to do with having healthy kids?  And: Why are you morons stating the obvious?  And:  Are you trying to make us feel guilty if our kids aren't healthy?  And:  What about the parents who have kids struggling with ongoing or chronic health issues, how do you suppose they feel when they read this?  "Our family is not as good as it could be! Well, we've got to get you healthy, Mary Jane, so we can have a better family life!  Let's go, Honey!"  And:  How does a kid who is ill feel when he or she reads this, you morons!  "Our family life is not good because I am not healthy.  It's my fault Mom and Dad scream at each other."  Your marketing department ought to be fired.
