I had it from time to time at my grandparents' house, like 20ish years ago

I seem to recall it wasn't bad then

still, there are many better cereals, in my humble view.

9/22/2014 11:10:16 PM

eatable iff you use chocolate milk

9/23/2014 8:12:40 AM

I loved Kix. I may or may not have sprinkled a little extra sugar on them.

I tried out and/or consistently ate just about every type of cereal as a kid. I consider myself an expert.

9/23/2014 8:28:33 AM

Do kids today still eat cereal, or have we finally figured out how unhealthy it is?

9/23/2014 9:43:12 AM

I always liked Kix. Then again, we were never allowed 'Kid's Cereal' in the house growing up.

9/23/2014 10:16:33 AM

Yeah, we weren't allowed to eat the sugary cereals or put sugar on our cereal. or pop-tarts. I enjoyed Kix. Is un-sugary cereal really that unhealthy compared to other things kids would eat for breakfast?

9/23/2014 10:21:04 AM

Kix has 20g of carbs per serving and almost no fiber or protein (and in most bowls you are probably eating more than one serving)

yeah, that's a pretty terrible breakfast for a kid, most cereals are

9/23/2014 10:25:00 AM

That was actually one of our "treat" cereals that we didn't get very often. I think we usually ate rice crispies, or wheat chex or total.

and i ate cereal morning, noon and night and was a very active kid that was always skinny.

what do you think kids should eat for breakfast?

rice crispies, wheat chex, and total are basically the same or slightly more unhealthy (although you get a tiny bit more fiber with wheat chex and total). rice crispies are terrible

the issue is not about being skinny or not, its about what constantly eating empty carbohydrates does to your metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and even hormones.

What does it do to your metabolism? My metabolism has always been roaring.

what do you think kids should eat for breakfast?

[Edited on September 23, 2014 at 10:35 AM. Reason : oh yeah, cheerios was a staple too]

causes insulin and leptin resistance, which is a contributing factor to a lot of health problems later in life (including type-2 diabetes)

that's in addition to the more immediate behavior, learning, and energy problems

eggs or lean meat and a little fruit (usually a small banana or half of a big one) are what I feed my niece when we watch her

I was a cinnamon toast crunch kid for a while... then graduated to golden grahams.

9/23/2014 10:58:14 AM

yeah, we usually had some meat or egg and fruit with the cereal in the morning. i dunno, maybe i was an exception, but i don't think my cereal-addiction as a kid had any negative effects on my body that i'm aware of. or maybe it takes a half-century to kick in.

9/23/2014 11:00:57 AM

i didn't wear a seatbelt growing up and never died in a car accident, therefore i think its a totally safe thing to do

9/23/2014 11:02:47 AM

^^^^ I ate more cereal and little debbie snack cakes as well as drank more sweet tea and sun drop than any kid I knew growing up. I turned out fine.

With that being said...my kids are going to eat a lot healthier than I did...but I will afford them a bowl of cereal in the morning if they so desire.

i never wore a helmet when i rode my bike or skateboard either. helmets were for wusses. and i climbed trees like a monkey. and used real bb guns when playing war in the woods.

9/23/2014 11:09:47 AM

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck I love little debbies

can we start a thread wherein we decide which was the best?

9/23/2014 11:13:14 AM

kix is a leading contributor to fibromyalgia

9/23/2014 11:23:00 AM

cereals were really the only unhealthy stuff we kept in the house when i was growing up. and my parents certainly weren't health nuts. but they just rarely bought coke, candy, chips, etc.

part of that, i think, is because i grew up on a farm and fresh vegetables and stuff were always around and always part of our meals.

but i'd eat the shit outta some cinnamon toast crunch, waffle crisp, apple jacks, count chocula.

[Edited on September 23, 2014 at 11:38 AM. Reason : d]

9/23/2014 11:36:41 AM

We never had soda, chips, candy, etc. in our house. And I only got Count-Chocula and Lucky Charms and the like when I stayed at my cousin's or friends' houses. But I ate a ton of "healthier" cereal and cheese singles and drank a ton of juice, tea and milk.

9/23/2014 11:57:06 AM

orange juice was probably the most unhealthy thing we had in our house growing up

9/23/2014 11:59:09 AM

i used to like the Special K Protein cereal which was "healthier" but it was discontinued

9/23/2014 12:38:47 PM

How sad is your life that someone on the internet makes you angry enough that you want to hit them

9/23/2014 5:01:52 PM

Touche, although I often wonder how sad your life must be that you often purposely go out of your way to be an argumentative jerk on the internet.

9/23/2014 5:06:40 PM

Everything I say is correct, you are projecting your anger where it doesn't exist when you think I am trolling

9/23/2014 5:14:46 PM

Right... it's not you, it's everyone else (delusions of grandeur? )



[Edited on September 23, 2014 at 5:32 PM. Reason : although, i must admit, in this thread, you actually kept the jerkiness to a minimum]

Orange juice is terrible, you might as well drink Mountain Dew

9/23/2014 9:14:31 PM

Mountain Dew has orange juice in it. Therefore mountain dew is orange juice.

9/23/2014 9:26:20 PM

My kids are currently eating a cereal modeled after reese's cups and lucky charms, they eat ceral twice a week.

M - scrambled, bacon and toast
T-oatmeal or cereal (usually cereal)
W - cereal
Th - pancakes and waffles
F - cinammon toast and cheesetoast
S - Pancackes, bacon
Su - cinammon rolls, fruit, bacon



Of course, they also eat second breakfast, brunch, elevensies, lunch, snack, snack, and dinner. They get plenty of fruit and protein at some point in the day.

I was wrong before, Orange Juice is slightly healthier than Mountain Dew. A better comparison would have been Pepsi (41g of sugar in a 12oz) or Sprite (38g), you might as well give your kids a Pepsi or Sprite.

it was a normal beverage for us, my parents probably thought it was healthy

I chugged Sun Drop. I imagine its one of the most unhealthy soft drinks out there....but it was FUCKING DELICIOUS.

HEY LETS CONVENIENTLY LEAVE OUT THE VITAMINS AND MINERALS IN ORANGE JUICE TO MAKE THIS COMPARISION SEEM CORRECT

9/24/2014 10:43:14 AM

vitamins should come from food, you shouldn't drink calories
