Noticed this one the back of my box of Rice Krispies™ brand breakfast cereal.

We have got to get in on these grifts. Maybe we can form the Decibel Institute. Anything below a certain volume threshold can be Volume Certified by the Decibel Institute. We can get people to pay for classes and trainings, apparel...

      oh, no, I know about low FODMAP! I'm laughing at getting "low FODMAP Certified™" by Monash University.

      Like, the foods that are and aren't low-FODMAP are known. Rice is a known low-FODMAP food. Having to pay some university for the labeling so they can call it low FODMAP is the part that seems sus to me.

      Sorry for any lack of clarity on my part!

        Part of this kind grift is usually that the department head involved in getting that certification thing setup (and billing Kellogg's) is also gonna make sure someone gets a study published saying "protein bad eat cereal". So you'd need someone with credentials I think.
