Caitlin Syrett posted a photo on Coles’ Facebook page with a plea to remove Krave—a new junk cereal—from their shelves.
“I urge you to take Kellogg’s new cereal, Krave, off your shelves,” she wrote.
“Coles has the opportunity and obligation to support healthy eating in Australia.”
A mini-ruckus ensued in the comments, with arguments centering around:
- Supply and demand vs corporate control.
- Individualism vs altruism.
- Individual/parental responsibility vs corporate responsibility.
“I disagree! If you don’t want to eat it don’t buy it. Supermarkets are not responsible for what goes in ones mouth – it’s up to the individual, and parents in regard to children. Also if it doesn’t sell Kelloggs won’t keep it around for long… Consumers decide what our supermarkets provide” is a representative comment.
You must be tripping. More
