The battle for breakfast: Bowled over for cereal

[@duhimonduhnet]

Why is it that companies always think its the consumer that gets bored with their product and NEVER think its about the price increases. I stopped buy cereal when a regular sized box hit the $5, $6 mark. Not worth it to me. When eggs sometimes cost 99cents x dozen. If u eat 2 eggs at a time thats 6 servings. Plus add toast or toastada with avocado etc. Thats a meal. Cereal the most you get is 3 to 4 servings. Plus milk cost another $5 xgallon.

[@mikewrasman5103]

The cereal companies have engaged in shrinking of the cereal boxes (where the cereal boxes somehow magically go down from 16 ounces to 14.5 ounces. However, the price somehow stays the same!

[@SpiralBreeze]

I haven’t eaten cereal in years. I usually make eggs with either sausage or spinach, or steel cut oats. I could seriously eat eggs everyday, so many ways to prepare them, also, my cholesterol numbers are great.

Cereal is nice treat, like the occasional bowl of ice cream, but it would be a horrible choice to eat every day.

[@beaujac311]

hojo70:. You must eat sugar coated cereal if you are comparing it to ice cream. I like spoon sized Shredded Wheat with banana. I could eat that three times a week.

[@jessicalt4121]

I do not eat cereal much but when I do I mix several different cereals into 1 big bowl: wheat or bran flakes, cinnamon toast crunch, granola, Cheerios and cut up banana. Yum!

[@Loveroffood41]

As my life has changed the way it has and my diet has had to change for health problems one cereal I always have a craving for is Fruity Pebbles. I don't eat like a whole box in a day but they're just something enjoyable about a little cup with Fruity Pebbles and some milk in it for just a sweet treat at the end of my day.

So sad. Most cereal is garbage. The dietician who has a smoothie with fruit and veggies gets teased as eating yucky food but the reality is she is eating so much better than the rest.

Cheerios with a sliced banana. Corn Pops. 2 of my favorites at age 64. Plus bacon eggs and hash browns occasionally. With rye toast of course!

[@mimy27]

Having a masters in journalism, I really do not understand the frame of this story. Is it the expenditure of the cereal-industry, is it its demise, is it the questioning the health benefits of having cereal everyday or is it purely an ad-placement for Kellog's?

[@searchith]

As I've gotten older, I've had to cut added processed simple sugar out of my diet over a decade ago. Studying the ingredients of cereals marketing themselves as healthy have disappointed me with how a majority of them have added simple sugars. If some added, refined sugar slips into my diet later in the day on occasions I eat out, it's not as bad as when my first meal of the day is going to effect my body and metabolism negatively throughout the rest of the day and night. It's ironic that there is more "sugar-free" ice cream choices than there are choices in cereal with no superfluously added simple sugars.

What a stupid story. No one, no matter your age, should be eating a cereal with marshmallows in it. Or artificial colors. They even brought in a dietitian and didn't let her come right out and say, "Count Chocula? Are you kidding me?"

Tag says cereal. but there was no cereal in the video only junk food. Cook steel cut oats - coconut oil & pink salt for less than a minute remove cover with towel for 15 minutes that's it. the more thinner the consistency the better. add anything. pan toast before cooking optional.
