Robert D. Stuart, Jr., president of Quaker Oats Company, testifies that over a seven-year period his company spent $15 million to advertise the nutritional value of Life cereal. "In the end, we found that this message was getting across to only 9% of consumers. Most people were eating it, not because of nutrition, but because they liked it." "It must be understood - unless we simply want to talk to ourselves - that the most nutritious product in the world does no one any good until it is consumed."
