Another 40 cents of every dollar was spent on “cereal, prepared foods, dairy products, rice and beans

Number 1 they have their groupings wrong. That will skew the results. No way would I put dairy products, rice, and beans in with prepared foods and cereal. If they set the groupings right the numbers for their unhealthy choices would probably be higher.

I’ve read stories similar to this over the years, maybe decades, I don’t know. But the concept wasn’t “sugary drinks”, everyone seems to be on that band wagon right now, it was as you said “cereal”. I’ve always heard that the government is subsidizing General Mills. Interesting that you and I noticed the odd grouping of foods in this article.
