Yikes! When we were kids we’d eat Shredded Wheat, and Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice, and Rice Krispies. Then when they came out with Sugar Pops, we ate those too. My kids were into Count Chocula, Cookie Crisp, Cocoa Puffs, anything with chocolate in it. I’ve never liked cereal with fruit or nuts in it.

What amazes me is how many sugary cereals are marketed to adults today. Cracklin Oat Bran, Raisin Bran Crunch, and even Smart Start all have 17+ grams of sugar and 200+ calories per bowl, all before you add milk.

Who cares, Decathalon winner John Belushi endorsed little chocolate donuts. They were on his training table for years.

Yeah, and they sell them as healthy for you. I recently tried Special K's cinnamon and pecan. Thought I'd try something different. I couldn't even get through the first bowl. I tossed it and the rest of the box out. Yuck!!
