They're Great!

I saw Tony the Tiger in a commercial
He said for every box of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes
Kellogg's would donate money for sports in schools
I grew up watching this guy during my Saturday morning cartoons
Toucan Sam, The Leprechaun, Sugar Bear, Cap'n Crunch were others
Along with Snap, Crackle, and Pop, from Rice Crispies
What do any of these cereals have to do with healthy living?
They are bad for kids, but I have to admit, I still enjoy them
The advertisers are clever people
But why are they allowed to peddle this crapola on tv?
The drug commercials are the worst
A lot of them claim better health
When if you eat right and exercise, you don't need them, or the side effects
They're greeaatt! advertisements, but not good ones for people

About this poem:
Some of the advertisements I see on TV are pretty aweful. One of the worst is for ASPCA, who gives 1/10 of one percent to the poor dogs they claim to care about.
