Oh my word. That Magnetic Food video is terrifying. Even more terrifying - it doesn't really surprise me.
As for fattening - of course cereal is fattening - it's full of carbohydrates. It doesn't have to be sweetened to be caloric. Why do you think processed food is so fattening? Because it's stuffed with corn. But good whole-grain cereal, like oatmeal, has also many other good nutrients and vitamins, so it will make you feel full and keep you energized for most of the day, as opposed to sweetened cornflakes which will give you a quick sugar rush and then make you crash and crave more sugar.
