Listen to this. Last year, 2.7 billion boxes of cereal were bought in the US.

816 million pounds of sugar was used by cereal manufacturing industry per year.

And we have fat children because.......?

if you remember right you and I used to buy the cereal by the weight ..the heavier the box the better the deal!!! like Shredded wheat and GrapeNuts had more nutrition and cost less than cocoa puffs!!!

ok so our kids got a box of crap cereal once in a while..but it was rare!!!....

you have very lean kids..no fat on either one....by the way!!!....

me too remember our health shakes we pumped into their bodies...they will NEVER let us forget that one!!!! or the concotions....we loved them and did the best we could with the knowledge we had...our kids are NOT picky and will eat ANYTHING ...at least we have that going for us!!!...yeah we are the ones who can cram crap down with out a problem....especially cookies!!! for me that is!!!....if I could change one thing about this WOE it would be to make Oreo's legal!!!....but heavy sigh I feel better at this weight than I did with a package of Oreo's!!!....My parents were total health food freaks you know that we ate NO crap growing up!.....I think crapfood has based itself on ease and taste and after watching "Supersize It" I feel like a puppet! even though I never did succomb to fast food and really hate the stuff....I still fell prey to packaged cookies and ice cream and what is the differance? nothing!
