Tom Brady blasts Coca-Cola and Frosted Flakes.

[havoc00]

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady lashed out at Coca-Cola, calling the soda "poison for kids," while accusing other food companies of lying to Americans in a recent interview.

"You’ll probably go out and drink Coca-Cola and think, ‘Oh yeah, that’s no problem.’ Why? Because they pay lots of money for advertisements to think that you should drink Coca-Cola for a living? No, I totally disagree with that," Brady said in an interview with Boston sports radio station WEEI.

"The fact that they can sell [Coca-Cola] to kids? That’s poison for kids," he said.

Brady also ripped into Kellogg's Frost Flakes cereal, saying he couldn't believe that Americans actually think it qualifies as food.

"I think we’ve been lied to by a lot of food companies over the years, by a lot of beverage companies over the years. But we still do it. That’s just America," Brady said. "We believe that Frosted Flakes is a food."

How can frosted flakes be real, if you drink coca cola?

[ALLUCANEATRIBS]

If coke was poison it wouldn't taste so good.

[Zwicker]

> 2015

> People still need to be told that "junk" food is void of nutrition for people of any age? I love when people say this as if it's some sort of revelation.

[idunnobrah]

good. I'm tired of seeing athletes push fast food and chit. Might as well endorse cigarettes while they're at it.

[Ratfish]

I bet there are some Coca-Cola executives who feel really deflated right now

[laxster]

Sorry mr tom brady but u r wrong. I grew up on these food and soda and made me into the man i am today

[shorkey]

Fuk you. Frosted flakes and fruit loops are delicious. A good cheat breakfast lol

[tpittma2]

In other news, moon lands on man.

He has balls though. I wouldn't be surprised if he got let go for "reasons" though.

[MajesticLion]

Somebody will pull him to the side and tell him to stfu. Coke doesn't play around.

"Numerous studies show that a cereal breakfast is associated with lower BMIs (body mass index) in both children and adults. As a matter of fact, a serving of Frosted Flakes with skim milk has just 150 calories and delivers valuable nutrients including calcium, B vitamins and iron," the statement reads.


i like how kellogg is insinuating that sugar cereal is the same as oatmeal or warm cereal that is very healthy.

How about sodium filled cold cuts?

But kids breakfast cereals, although full of sugar, are also fortified with vitamins and nutrients no? Plus it gets kids to drink milk

i dont know why i thought of this when i read the statements

[LaoHu7]

I bet he doesn't have the balls to say that about Pepsi--official soft drink of the NFL.

[NillaWafer]

Actually kind of funny because I was just at the world of coca-cola in Atlanta this past weekend. No ****s given, will keep buying and drinking coke. GOAT soda.

smh media has brain washed people into believing milk (along with many other foods) are good for you.

Yeah, no problem with moderation anyhow. It's up to the parents to make sure their kids eat nutritious foods in addition to snack/junk food. My point is that it's 2015 and people are still making these declarations as if it's some sort of new discovery. Of course Coca-Cola isn't nutritious. Why does Tom Brady need to even state it - as if it's a newfound warning, no less?

[scullin]

I agree with the GOAT.

Perhaps he was asked a dumb question about it. What is the context of his statement? Do you think he just called up the reporter to tell them his thoughts on soda? No he was probably asked about a related question after a game or something.

shut up

[ShredKunt]

Tom Brady is boss brah! Finally, someone said it.

Been soda free for over a year and lovin' it. Not sure why I even drank it in the first place.

Cereal was a big part of my childhood and I won't forget it but I don't have it nowadays, hell I don't even drink milk anymore.
