Kellogg, General Mills, and Quaker are all the same company..are they not?

I like Malt O Meal

I never thought that cereal (at least kid's cereal) was healthy.

The Special K's are suppose to be healthy and help in weight loss..

Not when you add chocolate to it!

That makes no sense..

those are worse than fruit loops, and coco puffs?


WTF?

Oh, I kinda thought lucky charms wasn't very healthy .... My favorite is Count Chocula though, glad to see that's not on the list.

kids cereal tends to be pretty healthy actually. The fancy adult cereal that looks and sounds healthy is usually worse. The difference is kids cereal will post a serving size of 1 cup and may have 17 grams of sugar. Adult cereal will have a serving size of 1/4 cup and have 9 grams of sugar (thats really 36 grams for the same quantity). If you correct for equal quantity kids cereal has way more vitamins and minerals and less sugar.

I love cereal! I don't care how unhealthy it is made out to be, it is healthier than eating out or eating other processed foods like hot pockets, frozen dinners soups and whatever else all those things are way high in sodium and don't offer much nutritional value at all.
