If you consider that the cereals are made of wheat and corn that with traces of pesticides, sugar, synthetic ingredients, and so on, all of which cause health problems, the cardboard box starts to seem more appealing.

Yeah... the cardboard not made for consumption is definitely safer.

Have you looked at what is in most of the things that are on grocery store shelves?

You go ahead and eat a cardboard box every morning for breakfast for a week and tell me how much better it was than a bowl of cereal. I'll wait.
Aaaand have you considered all the shit that might be in that cardboard?
considering i ate almost entirely cereal growing up and was much healthier than most of the people i grew up with, that claim is not worth its weight in font.

One data point? Are you sure most of the people you know were eating healthier than you?
yes, having 0 nutrition would mean that i could not have possibly survived. and if you want to be in the group that thinks eating indigestible cardboard is a possibility because 'there wasnt enough data', have at it.
you do realize, you dont need a ton of data in everything to draw conclusions.
One is more than none.

One is a data point. You can draw any line you feel through it but that doesn't mean it's a trend. You need more data.

It wasn't an argument about a trend. The question of whether you can drive a car by filling its gas tank with cola instead of gasoline is answered after you fill a car with cola instead of gasoline, then drive it. There's no need to establish a trend.
