General Mills, the food mega-corporation that owns Betty Crocker, Nature Valley, and basically every sweet cereal you ate and served your kids, has a startling new legal policy making it illegal to sue the company after you: - download or print a coupon; - “join” an online communities (which online communities is in question, but possibly including Facebook); - subscribe to an email newsletter; - or redeem a promotion or participate in any "offering." In other words: It just became nearly impossible to get a deal on a General Mills product without forfeiting your rights to sue the company.
