00:00
So, first up sister,
00:02
do you ever want,
00:02
what's in your cereal?
00:04
not really.
00:05
I just make sure it's not expired.
00:06
Ah, ok. Well,
00:08
Eva Mendez,,
00:09
I think this is how you find out she specifically went on
00:12
Instagram and said this is a quote from her.
00:14
I grew up on cereal.
00:15
I still love it,
00:16
but I won't eat Kellogg's anymore after I found out that so
00:20
many ingredients that they use here in the US are banned in
00:23
other countries. Why?
00:25
Because they're awful for Children?
00:27
Oh, ok. So she basically called them out for potentially
00:31
using harmful ingredients in our food here in the US versus other
00:35
countries essentially. Yeah.
00:37
And you already know everyone and their mothers had an opinion.
00:40
Yeah. I'm sure on social media,
00:43
obviously there's a bunch of comments saying that she's getting misinformation but
00:47
and you know,
00:47
there's people on her side as well,
00:49
but if you think about it,
00:50
like, just take a step back,
00:51
like she has a point,
00:53
right? I mean,
00:54
like companies regulate their ingredients and other products too across the board
00:57
Not just cereal,
00:58
you know, like,
00:58
think about,,
01:00
Mexican Coke. Right.
01:02
Coke here. In the US versus Coke in Mexico is different
01:04
right? I was,
01:07
well, I was told that the Coke in Mexico has the
01:11
actual sugar cane sugar in it.
01:14
The la can. And then the one in here is high
01:18
fructose corn syrup or the liquid sugar.
01:21
So it's not as natural.
01:23
That's why the Mexican Coke is known to taste better,
01:26
in my opinion. No.
01:27
Yeah, this tastes better.
01:28
But I was like,
01:29
is it actually healthier?
01:30
I don't know. But like,
01:31
OK, there's one example that's different,
01:32
right? And then even in the,
01:34
in Europe, I've heard from one of our gluten free friends
01:37
here that technically the bread in the US doesn't qualify as bread
01:42
in Europe. Again,
01:43
the standards are higher.
01:44
It begs the question like,
01:46
what are we putting in our food or what are they putting
01:49
in our food? Right?
01:51
Like I know there's different regulations from country to country,
01:54
but this all sounds kind of si mean,
01:58
what does Canada know that the US does in be,
02:02
you know, it seems like they are prioritizing their citizens health
02:05
and I'm gonna have to smuggle my fruit loops from the
02:08
six. Yeah, I think about it.
02:10
Look how sneaky the US is with like ingredients in food and
02:13
it's probably just all to make us a couple more pennies per
02:15
box. But obviously it adds it to a lot.
02:17
But again, and it's funny because,
02:20
you know, Mexico,
02:21
it's not known for having the healthiest snacks,
02:23
but at least it lets you know,
02:25
hey, this is the big ass Hexagons on the back like
02:27
hey, you know,
02:29
is it healthy for you?
02:31
But we're letting you know excess,
02:34
excess as excess salad or whatever the hell if you still do
02:39
it, that's all you know,
02:41
I'm letting you know this is what you're about to eat.
02:44
If you choose to eat it,
02:46
that's on you. So even we feel you.
