Let's see. Uncle Joe is predicting massive food shortages for later this year and now they've upped the ante by contaminating the existing food pipeline. Not that I'd consider Lucky Charms food, but it is produced in a factory that makes other varieties of cereal, a prepper mainstay.
Fucking TV commercials notwithstanding, cereals are snack food, NOT breakfast and definitely nothing of substance. Let's work against our lactose issues and gluten intolerance by eating a heavily sweetened combination of both every morning...
Feeding kids sugary shit like this in the morning, leading to a sugar rush followed by a late-morning/midday crash, is borderline child abuse anyway and makes school even more miserable than it already is. Ed
Shocking. We eat shit that is not food like it *is* food, and we become sick? I'm no health food fan either, but eating a big bowl of sugar (does not matter if any of the carbohydrates are "complex" or not, they are quickly converted down to simple sugar within seconds of hitting the stomach, with pretty much only the exception of some fibers) will do pretty much what you would expect to happen if you eat a bowl of table sugar. Bacon and eggs. No toast, no juice--you are better off giving them coffee than juice. I'm serious. Don't slam a kid's endocrine system early in the day with a big blast of sugar... might even make them act a little crazy, hard to settle down... but I guess there is a pill for that, too. If you can grown *any* of your own food, learn to do so. Even a small backyard garden is like a gigantic middle finger to the pretend government we have. -Just A Chemist
Its the ghost of Brian Boru exacting revenge for the mis-use of Irish culture to sell garbage to the ignorant. The bastardization of St. Padraig's day, girly green soap, green beer; My people have had enough.
Never had a bite of the cereal that came out in the seventies or so. I eat cornflake, cherrios, rice krispies, raisin brand and that's about it. My kid ate that weird stuff.
I had to fetch groceries and I saw Moon Pies . Now I have not eaten one of those things in 40 years (I recalled they were alright when last I had one when I was 8 years old). So I made the mistake of getting one and my God what a sickening pile of sugar . Never again Yuck
When I was a kid the ads for this kind of stuff used to say "Diabetes Crisps can be a part of this healthy, nutritious breakfast!" And there'd be a picture of buttered toast, eggs, bacon and a glass of juice next to the big bowl of Diabetes Crisps.
Emphasis on "part" mine. A steaming handful of dog poop, or a handful of gravel, or whatever, can also be a "part" of an otherwise healthy breakfast. So they ain't lying.
You might as well just give your kid a candy bar for his breakfast. Lucky Charms is crap.
ReplyDeleteNow, Cap'n Crunch with chocolate milk? That's fine dining!

So lucky Charms are now doing what grape nuts have always done--the atomic colon blow.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me of an old joke.
DeleteDo you know why Euell Gibbons has purple underwear?
He has grape nuts.
Hahahahahaha

ReplyDeleteYou have not lived until you've had lucky charms or Frankenberry and THEN drank the sweet milk left behind. Yum. My stomach's growling right now.
DeleteI think I'll pass.
