Yup. I understand why people love cereals and keep paying for smaller packages with the same or higher price. Sugar and additives are extremely addictive. The nostalgia of being a little kid whose parents were too tired or could care less about making their children a hot healthy breakfast so they stocked the pantry with sweet stuff. It brings back memories of sitting in front of the TV while eating basically candy. Fun times. But seriously, if you value your health and money, try and kick the habit. Your body and budget will prosper.
Good for you. Literally. I'm ashamed to say I ate Frosted Flakes and Quisp until I reached my teens. I had an excellent Home Economics teacher who was wise in the ways of nutrition and told us girls that eggs, toast and bacon were more filling and nutritional than sugary cereal. She claimed we would stay fuller by lunch and dinner and not eat as much in-between. We took on her challenge to eat an egg, a slice of buttered toast or oatmeal with butter and a small amount of brown sugar, 2 strips of bacon and some fresh fruit every day for a week. We found we were not miserably hungry by noon and noticed we ate less snacks during the day when fed a protein-rich, hot breakfast.
