Is it possible that kid's breakfast cereal is actually getting less healthy than it was in the 70's?

I remember when the commercials would wrap from the cartoon critter scampering lustfully after the children and their sweet and crunchy cargo to a shot of the cereal in a best-case scenario still-life shot.
The voiceover would say "Part of this complete breakfast!" - the table would be laden with eggs, bacon, pancakes, bagels, nine pounds of fruit, a mountain of brussels sprouts, and a cheerful half gallon of hummus.
A few years later, the voiceover had changed to "Part of this nutritious breakfast!"
Yesterday, I heard the latest version: "Part of this breakfast!"
What's next? "Could be considered food."
