Many families are on a tight grocery budget. The business plan of breakfast cereal manufacturers is to take a disproportionate high percentage of a consumer's grocery money and give a disproportionate small amount of nutrients in return. This is insidious malnutrition. Money spent on breakfast cereals could be spent on real food instead. When you buy breakfast cereals, you are paying for air. In the UK these days many breakfast cereals are quite appropriately made by Nestle.
I bought a box of generic corn flakes the other day and I only got four bowls out of it. Imagine if I had four kids!
Don't knock all cereals, there are some good ones. Check nutrition info on the box. Also check how much sugar per serving, try to stay around 4 grams. If you want it sweeter add fruit.
i do not worship "breakfast cerials" but i am aware that sever very familiar names of companies that make them, those companies were started by some pretty for out there 'holy rollers' with seriously tin foil hat motivations for doing so. and yes grain based foods are real food that played a major role in the transition from hunting and gathering to settled agriculture. and even in hunting and gathering times, the gathering contributed more to nutrition then the hunting. with very few exceptions. but there's a long way from acorn 'oatmeal' to 'sugar frosted mystery grain'.
Most are laden with sugar and salt. I'll go whole wheat toast with fish or eggs. Still a proportion of salt minus the sugar.
i'll go hamburger and noodles. "breakfest" cerials are for desert. and like eggs, usually for later on in the day, when and if at all. and without all the candy coatings either. i prefer to control my own sweeteners, even if i do use emulsified powdered chocalot instead of naked cane sugar or its more common substitutes.
nahz y9ou got to get that lucky charms, peanut butter crunk but yo let that shit sit in milk so you mouth don't get messed up shit hurtsz yo
A girl brought four boxes of Captain Crunch to work today and left in the break room. Said her kids wouldn't eat it.
I don't ever remember getting a choice as a kid. If we didn't eat something we weren't eating at all lol.
so basically cereal companies are bad because they sell food for a profit? but this only applies to cereal companies?
There is a dichotomy in the food industry, those that only exist to make a profit; those that make a bit of money but are passionate what they produce,
