[QUOTE="fergus, post: 119499, member: 6150"] Cereal manufacturers have done a fantastic job at convincing the vast majority that their products are somehow a breakfast staple. The norm, in the developed world. Generally speaking, they're highly refined starches, flavoured with salt and sugar and then magically [i]fortified[/i] to chemically add the nutrients they stripped out in the first place, all at an astronomic premium on the cost of the raw ingredients. When I see some of the chocolate garbage touted at children, I could cry sometimes. Not only are they completely unneccesary, in my view, they are about as far removed from proper food as it's possible to get - meat, fish, veg., dairy etc. Now, back to my chocolate straws. fergus [/QUOTE]
