    Yes, no one is immune to propaganda in the sense of misinformation.

    Ads on the other hand… The often quoted subconscious working of ads just doesn’t work on me: i choose my müesli based on parameters (like texture, taste,…), not on whims! So ads go on one side in, out on the other.

      Have you considered those ads simply aren’t targeted at people like you but at the mainstream instead? And that you may well still be susceptible to adds targeted at your kind of mindset?

        Yes, that’s what i said?

        And that you may well still be susceptible to adds targeted at your kind of mindset?

        You mean ads for products i would choose based on my need and their qualities? Gladly. But im rather careful with my privacy and see ads only on the street, so there’s that.

        Don’t get buthurt so easily.

      Another side effect of ads: you think you want Muesli for breakfast, not soup or fried egg.

      You buy your muesli…? You know you can make it cheaply and easily, right?

      Did you make a blind test on your Müsli? Get several different brands and eat them blind.

        There’s health a big consideration, since it’s something almost daily. So 5-corn with wholewheat flakes and fruit it is. Next convenience store has only one brand of it.

            What “detail”. Average 20’s to 40’s person cares too less for their health and are then suffering and expensive when they get old.

              Well I don’t care about my food that much that I choose my cerial on most healthy option. I eat what I want when I feel like it. As long as I don’t eat only unhealthy food this should work out. And if I get to 100 or only 80 because of tthat I don’t care.
