Pilnick was making the case for "quite affordable" cereal during an appearance on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street."

I once read that one can get more nutrition from the box the cereal is in...

Eating what is called ‘cereal’ in the West is about the most UNHEALTHY thing a person can do, short of drinking gasoline.

having cereal for dinner, if it’s nutritious and satisfying, is no stranger than having steak for breakfast.

I think it’s not a bad idea but the cereal should be steel cut oats, buckwheat groans, hard winter wheat kernels, soaked overnight, Red River hot cereal mix, 6, 7, or 8 grain mix hot cereal bought dry in bags from Amish stores. Add fruit, cinnamon, walnuts, honey, peanut butter, Raisins, etc. If we ate one meal of this, one of Greek yogurt, and one with beans and rice and a little meat daily, we could all be healthier and feel better to boot.

Breakfast for dinner is great. Get some of those honey coated roaches and throw them on the cereal for protein.

I don’t believe ceral is whoely non-nutricous or akin to poison...the chemicals, etc, as has been posted.

Free Republic is like the internet elsewhere, in that you can’t believe everything you read.

Frosted Flakes has 33 grams of carbs, including 12 of sugar. 2 grams protein. 0 fat.

Poison? Not exactly, but pee poor nutrition! One egg would have 6 grams of protein and 5 grams of fat. 0 carbs.

Kroger shredded wheat 1.5g fat, bad fat 0, 10mg sodium, cholesterol 0, carbs 48g, fiber 8g, sugar 0, protein 7g, various vitamins

Seems okay to me. People should make up their own mind.

I love breakfast for dinner. Eggs, bacon or sausage and hashbrowns. If I want to go all out I make country gravy for the sausage and browns and fix pancakes topped with butter and syrup.

Or steel cut oats w/ wheat germ, flaxseed meal and brown sugar if I want to keep it cheap and easy. No milk.

Don’t know what Kellogg’s carries, but General Foods Total® and Multigrain Cheerios® have a day’s worth of iron. Makes the General Foods cereals an okay snack.
