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 agree with you that they are rubbish and shouldn't be given to kids.

I do for DC with eating issues.

You've got a lot of pork consumption going on there.

You're better than everyone else. 🏆

My DS2 was exclusively tube-fed until he was 2, and as a direct result of that finds eating very difficult, both taste and texture. Despite our best efforts over the years and multiple interventions including feeding clinics at GOSH, there are literally about 15 things that he will eat (he is now 16) and he eats barely enough to keep a 5yo alive.

So yeah, I buy him coco pops for breakfast because I just need him to eat a decent amount of food for breakfast. And multiple dietitians have agreed with me on that point.

So OP, you can fuck right off with your judgemental comments and just thank your lucky stars that you don’t have a child with a genetic condition so rare that most specialists we see on the NHS and privately (and there are a lot of them), although they have heard of it, have never had a patient with it before.

Ooh breakfast pudding… that’s a good idea. Might start that!

Kit Kat cereal is amazing without milk to snack on.

They think smoked salmon, steak, strawberries, duck, melon etc are sll fantastic

Likewise. With all 3 dc. They also love cocopops and are delighted if we stop at a mcdonalds.

The two are not mutually exclusive and I'm sure plenty of poor little coco-pop eating kids also like fruit and meat 😂

That's a lot of words.

I'm better than you and just wanted to humblebrag that my children are easy and I can afford expensive food

Is fewer words. For next time

Hope the buns aren't ghastly white bread.

I'm buying them for me! Coco Pops and Wheetos (with blue top milk, had to be whole!) were my go to pregnancy craving for both pregnancies! Even now, when I get late night munchies they're my go to snack 😋. We try and hide them from eldest DD, occasionally allow as a treat or when we're on holiday!

not doubting it's easy, doubting the number of average kids who'd even look at it (but then I probably only know OBESE repulsive little neglects)

But unfortunately I still have to roll both my kids around, watching the rotten teeth fall out of their heads as I do, because of the 1-2 bowls of cereal they eat each week. So be warned. A batch of flaxseed muffins will not cure the Kellogg’s-induced obesity

Ah, I'm a right judgy pants about people who go to supermarkets on a bank holiday, OP.

I don't understand why you wouldn't want to give capitalism a break, especially on Easter Monday.

Isn't it lovely that we all have someone to look down on? /s

Yes!! Dry, tasteless and a very strange flavour now!!

Apart from weetabix, I don't think any cereals are really 'breakfast food' in that they are super sweet.

But yes, I always buy the multi pack of the mini boxes of cereal when we go camping.

I buy chocolate cereal. It's a Friday morning treat here. Mainly for DC2. Same child is vegetarian and generally eats a wide range of veg-based dishes (homemade).

In my 80s childhood, we put sugar on top of cornflakes. Probably amounted to more sugar than a chocolate cereal.

After reading this thread, I now really fancy some crunchy nut cornflakes straight from the box.

It's all mine! I'd rather be happy than eat the healthy cardboard crap 😊 ❤️

Well I can't eat porridge, most fruits, wholemeal or wholegrain bread, or any nut butters. Not due to being fussy, due to medical reasons. If you are in fact a GP, I'm sure you can deduce why. And whilst I'm clearly in the minority, I'm just giving an example of why some people can't eat your suggested breakfasts, and go for an alternative. Perhaps you could consider that before rushing to judgement?

Does anyone remember Start cereal? It was elite!

Golden Nuggets have gone downhill. They’re much smaller and sweeter and rather bland

Is it just me or have they changed the Cocopops recipe? I haven't had them a while but we are on holiday so they're compulsory.

I ate coco pops morning, noon and night for the entirety of my first trimester because they were all I could stomach through the morning sickness.

I wonder if I have any left, I could tan a bowl right now.

Might go out and buy some now, just to spite OP.

Should I tell you my kids eat a Nutella sandwich most days before school ? 🤷🏻‍♀️ they are awful eating breakfast so anything they accept is a win or they go without food until lunch time

Duck is very fatty, that with all the BBQs and pulled pork, venison and bolognese.
You need to introduce more vegetable based meals.

Hmm not necessarily, my French family’s idea of le snack is more chocolate, their diets are pretty shocking to be honest. But they are all painfully skinny so 🤷‍♀️
