I'm a cereal lover - often eating it for two meals a day - and justify it to myself by saying that it's a basically healthy meal. But that's when I'm eating something natural, like granola. It's not well-balanced, but I usually try to eat a little protein and then I'm set.
However, lately I've been loving sweet cereal. About a week and a half ago, I thought about getting ice cream at the grocery store. I never, ever get ice cream, and the rest of my family is addicted, so I try to stay away. So I decided to get Chocolate Lucky Charms instead, telling myself it is a bit healthier (which it is). Well, lo and behold, the stuff is outrageously good and addicting, and I plowed through the whole box in about a day and a half. Since then, I've bought a box of Count Chocula, a box of Boo Berry, and a box of the food of the gods, Fruity Pebbles.
I haven't eaten it all, but if I wasn't out of milk right now, I'd probably be having one of them for dinner. Again.

I cannot decide what to do with this Friday night. I really want to go to the movies. Maybe I'll just go. Then again, maybe I won't.

I love Count Chocula. And Peanut Butter Captain Crunch, my all-time favorite. Sounds like a perfectly reasonable diet to me.
My kids are the ones who eat Smart Start and granola and all the grown-up cereals.
Two meals of cereal in a day saves money and calories and it's great comfort food, whether it's sweet cereal like Sugar Pops and Sugar Crisp or Quaker Oat Bran Squares.
Oh no, I just checked my yahoo email and there's an article, I swear, that too much cereal causes renal cell cancer. Yikes. Is it coinkydink or did you read that article and decide to write about the joys of cereal?
Woah, no I had no idea.
i think the article about cereal & renal cell cancer can apply to a general principle: moderation in everything. even too much water can kill you - granted it's incredibly difficult to do so, but it has happened. variety is the key.
