To wonder who is buying chocolate cereal

[Blueyseviltwin]

Who om each is buying Lion bar and Oreo cereal? See also lucky charms, nesquick and coco pops
These aren't breakfast foods (or any sort of food). I literally cannot imagine anyone thinking it is a reasonable way of feeding children?

I live in France and nearly all the cereals are chocolate - even Weetabix have chocolate chips in them

Your coming across as very snobby. Just because someone doesn't give their kids suger does not make them a batter parent than someone that does. My mam always refused to buy chocolate cereal and other sweet stuff as well as crisps but we just bought it on the way to school. 🤷

This.

Just had a bowl for my supper and zero shits given 🤣

Anyone seen the sugar and calorie content of some granola ! I have coco pops at home for kids at the weekend …they have survived !

my dc were all slim and healthy, and still are in the 20s and 30s.
i am not, and i never ate cocoa pops! <<unfair>>

Gosh if you think that’s bad you’d be horrified at my 7 year old having Pop Tarts for breakfast before school haha! He also loves Oreo cereal.

these aren’t even treat breakfast in my house they are staples

Fuck the sugar content the price of the things! I don’t buy them because I’d have to remortgage to afford them every week

Well. As aGP, you will know that low fiber diets are necessary sometimes.

Although, our GP has been beyond shit apropos cancer.

So maybe not.

All that healthy eating and outdoor activity you enjoy?

Hasn't stimulated your empathy cells has it?

Maybe you need blood tests?

Although extrication of ice through a syringe might be tricky!

Exactly OP. No ‘good’ or ‘bad’ food. Therefore what is ‘bad’ about chocolate cereal when eaten occasionally as part of an overall healthy diet? Are you equally as shocked walking down the crisps, biscuits, chocolate and wine aisles in shops? Or do you think these are ok to be consumed occasionally as part of a balanced diet?

He might lose some weight and be able to breathe without wheezing though.

I once started eating granola on a diet thinking I was being healthy… erm 😂 got a shock.

I remember going on a French exchange, at school and the family I was staying with gave me chocolate cereal for breakfast, with hot chocolate to drink, and brioche rolls with huge chunks of chocolate for my packed lunch. I thought it was the best thing ever!

I have cereal daily, and when they are on offer I like to buy chocolate shreddies. They stay crunchy longer than other chocolate cereals.
My kids don't know these exist for them and only get porridge or weetabix!

People who are not suffering from orthorexia are buying them, that's who.

And don't forget the venison.

There’s zero nutrition in that rubbish. An occasional treat yes, but all it does is increase the chance of diabetes. Those cereals (usually Kelloggs crap) should be banned. No wonder we have an obesity problem in the U.K.

I love coco pops! I had no idea that a lion bar cereal existed, but I’ll be adding it to my ocado list for this week.

People who are fun at parties I imagine 🙄

Just bought chocolate shreddies for me,

@Blueyseviltwin

I find your post really interesting - with regards to party food! We recently went to a party and my LO was served jam sandwiches, biscuits, crisps, sweets etc. My LO is only two. He was up in the night with belly ache from all the sugar. It got me thinking about British culture, me and my husband were talking about what party food would look like in other countries. It’s interesting you say about not having nuggets and waffles is seen as boring. How have we created this culture? My LO would have loved a curry or pasta at the party! He’s a brilliant eater because we’ve always offered a range of foods. Why are we giving toddlers sweets and juice? Your post did seem a bit judgemental to me at first but I agree wholeheartedly - why are we creating a nation of junk food eaters and normalising it? I can’t believe how much hate you’re getting for this post!

Currently £2.50 in Tesco.

I have coco pops with my protein shake poured over the top. Great post gym breakfast!!

Cereal police nee naw nee naw 🚨

Yeah haha, I just bought some earlier today. That's what made me click on this post xD
Thanks though.

Has anyone tried chocolate weetabix ?
Really lovely with either hot or cold milk. Vanilla soya milk takes it to another taste level.
