Its sad how nobody ever seemed to notice the absurdity of using the image of a tiger to sell sugared corn cereal. Really the image of a carnivorous tiger is being used to sell sugar and starch to children.
Where I live there are billboards with a cartoon wild cat that promotes eating fruits and vegetables, as if the wildcat gets its power from starch and fruit sugar.
These cartoon characters are drawn to look robust, and vibrant and give the impression that if you eat what they are selling you'll be great. As stupid as advertising is, I dont think making cartoon mascots illegal is the solution. Id much rather see processed refined sugars be regulated as the drugs they are and have surgeon general warning labels on the front cover warning the public of the health dangers....then leave it up to the individual to heed the warning.
