National Cereal Day

[Brebis]

I'm an oatmeal person and could eat it for breakfast every day of the year but as a kid I loved sweet cereals though they were always a treat, never an everyday thing.

The thing that irks me these days is instant oatmeal. I hate the stuff, it's too sweet and they add thickeners like guar gum. The annoying thing for me is that my stepson loves the stuff and won't eat the regular kind even though I make it every morning and suggest he can add all the sweets and fruits back in! It costs way more than a bag of regular oats and he eats tons of itLol!

Sadly, once they get hooked on these highly processed cereals it's really hard to get them onto better options...which is just what the food companies want to happen, they make far more on the cheap processed stuff than the "real" stuff.
