Gripe 2: Cereal

So when we were young, eating Captain Crunch was the right thing. Trix. Fruit Loops. Lucky Charms. Count Chocula. Who would have believed that twenty years later, those sugary bowls would eventually leave to high blood pressure, diabetes, and hypertension? In fact, if all the mascots were forced to eat their own cereal, I suspect they'd look something like this:

Tucan Sam is the one in green. Anyway, so we're a bit older and we're forced to live in a world without Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross. We still love cereal, but we can't trust any box with a mascot on it. I'm giving you the mean eye, Honey nut Cheerios Bee! I know you're a Louie the Lightning Bug reject! Anyway, for those who still love cereal and want to a bit healthier, I recommend Kashi's Heart to Heart Honey Toasted Oat. It looks like Cheerios but has a rounder, subtle, more appetizing taste. It's lower in sugar than most cereals, but still manages to be sweet (http://www.kashi.com/products/heart_to_heart_cereal_honey_toasted_oat)

It makes a great quick snack and it has all those healthy words on the side and back of the box to make you feel like you actually care about your wellness. Excuse me as I kick the habit.
