Americans are spending more money on food than they have in 30 years, and Kellogg's CEO Gary Pilnick has a solution: Eat cereal for dinner. The suggestion, made by Pilnick during a TV interview last week, gained widespread attention, dividing the internet.
Pilnick was making the case for "quite affordable" cereal during an appearance on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street."

When we have breakfast for dinner, it’s usually omelets and pancakes...
I remember when they pulled their ads from Breitbart because “We don’t want people like that”.
Humans are omnivores. We have survived on a wide variety of diets, depending on availability, affordability, legality, religion etc, some better than others.
It is fortunate for us that we Americans live in a country in an age when we have a wide variety of dietary choices.
A friend of mine came from Soviet Ukraine in the 1980s. He was taken to a supermarket the day he and his family arrived. He joked “is this museum?.”
The cost per calorie of any Kellog cereal is considerably in excess of bread or potato per calorie expense. It likely exceeds the per calorie cost of a Krispy Kreme
Diabetes in a box.

This is enough for quite a while, depending how many you're feeding.
You'll need to find yeast and olive oil for the bread (i'd also add rosemary & thyme for a good flavor). no salt required. I'd also suggest all canned veggies should be the no-salt-added variety. you'd also need to find a tub of butter (not margarine).
you'll want to add chicken or beef to whatever you're making which you can also pick up at sams club (priced per pound). freeze what you don't use, obviously.
you could add black beans for variety and i'm sure cheese would be available fairly cheap.
fruits, cheap desserts, and snacks are also available at such stores... but they're more luxury items so i didn't add.
keep in mind if you make your bread that it won't last as long as the 'normal' bread you buy in the store. this is due to the lack of chemical preservatives. figure it'll last 3-4 days depending on humidity and how you store it.
here's a link for a focaccia recipe i followed (dropped the salt, tho using half their suggestion also works). VERY yummy bread (almost too good).
That’s a truly great post.
Ditto!
And what kind of poison was sprayed on the grain while it was growing? Is it GMO?
And now that the WEF is pimping COCKROACH MILK you can use that on your cereal! We’re GOLDEN.
But cereal requires milk and milk is evil................
People should make up their own minds but holy hell 48 grams of carbs? That’s about my max for 2-3 days as I try to keep under 15-25 a day
I do take in as much as 4000 calories some days and still maintain or lose weight but try to make sure those calories are mostly fat

LOL!
Carbs break down in the body into glucose. There isn’t “bad fat”. Saturated fat is good for you and all fat is useful, unless consumed along with lots of carbs - with the shredded wheat providing a ton of those.
Eat what works for you.
But given the still increasing rates of obesity, I can say what MOST Americans eat is NOT working for them!
Kellog's: Cheerios & Honey Nut, Sugar Frosted Flakes, Frosted Mini Wheats, Fruit Loops
General Mills: Lucky Charms, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Reeses Puffs, Chex
Post: Honey Bunches of Oats
Quaker: Life, Oatmeal
The ones that don't seem move at all locally are:
General Mills: Total and Trix
Steel cut oats. Red River hot cereal. You’ll poop things you swear you never ate. Disturbing but healthy.
My favorite is Nuthouse Granola. You can find it in smaller markets, but I’ve been buying it on Amazon. Click, click, click and it’s on my doorstep the next day.
