For a daily dose of fiber cereal is hard to beat. Oatmeal might be the best.
But have you noticed that most cereals, and very few other foods, are now fortified with most of your daily requirements of vitamins and minerals?
Why is that?

To this day, my little brother will not touch cereal. He used to eat Trix, but not anymore. I don’t know why.

Corn flakes were also invented to prevent masturbation. Since masturbation was seen as morally wrong, people wanted a way to stop others from engaging in it. It was believed that bland tasting foods would do the trick. Thus, the corn flake was invented. The graham cracker also exists for this reason.

Much of my childhood – breakfast, afterschool snacks – was fuelled by giant bowls of crunchy sugary cereals – Sugar Smacks, Froot Loops, and what y’all now call “Corn Pops” was, in it’s heyday, “Sugar Corn Pops”. I also grew up on Tang, Cheez Whiz, and Koolaid.. is it any wonder that I am really quite obese in my 40s?

I won’t let my kids touch that stuff! The get enough sugar with fruit and treats. They get Cheerios or else high fibre Guardian (with Psyllium!). When I called Guardian to tell them what a great cereal it was for getting my wee darlings colons going, they responded: “You’re giving our cereal to CHILDREN???”. But it does work great, if any of you have the same issues. Even the two year old tolerates it, and the Cinnamon vanilla flavour is awesome. Word of caution! MUST be ingested with LIQUID!

Hearing about Dr. Kellogg reminds me of that movie “The Road to Wellsville.” Ick.
