“Part of this complete breakfast.” The part that contributes NOTHING to the nutrition of the meal except calories and tooth decay. Most kids leave the juice, toast and eggs out.
I do buy breakfast cereal: those that don’t add sugar. It makes a good mid-day snack (I eat about a 1/4 bowl dry). I am amazed at how much aisle space is devoted to the product.
My wife used to work with State Department refugees as a nurse. Part of her duties was to teach nutrition. So she advised her “students” to shop the “outside of the store.” This is where the produce, meats and dairy are. The internal aisles are where all the processed foods and sugar and fat are.
Unfortunately, the outside of the store is where the most expensive food is. Also in their wisdom, the government has decided that many of these items are NOT covered by food assistance programs. You can buy bottled water but not fresh fruits and vegetables. That was another thing my wife had to teach – water in America is safe to drink from the tap (we don’t live in Flint, MI) so don’t waste your money buying water.
