Too damn hard, and they taste funny.
Not good at all.

Being lactose intolerant and disliking the taste of milk in general, I don't eat cereal.

So for me, all cereals suck.

most milk alternatives suck, if you're expecting milk. especially since they are expensive.

However, they do have their own unique flavor, and are interesting from time to time.

as for sucky cereal: there was this stuff that my mom got once, that looked like chow mein noodles, only smaller. can't remember the name now, but that stuff was nasty.

Chex cereal also sucks, as cereal. However, chex mix is teh bomb.

Cheerios are bleh, but they honey nut variety are okay.

I hate honeycomb just because of their commercials.

I actually like the milk alternatives. I had this vanilla soy milk called silk that was pretty rockin'. I've also been drinking some rice milk lately, I didn't even know there was such a thing, lol. Ya, but I still drink the cow stuff with my wheaties :).

I grew tired of Trix really quick.  They say Trix is for kids, but in reality Trix is for assholes.  Kix sucks, too.

I still love Cocoa Krispies and Cocoa Puffs.  I do like Cheerios, Raisin Bran and I like to eat the bite-sized Frosted Mini Wheats as a snack... without milk.

this stuff is the best!

WTF?  Are they saying that "berry" is different than "fruity"?  I want the system that has chocolate on one side, and cocoa on the other!

this is a fun thread.   I don't get to eat nearly as much meat / milk/  normal stuff as I'd like ,  since my other half is a vegan.

I prefer :  rice / almond milk to soy.   hemp milk is OK.  tastes kinda hempy.
Silk chocolate soy milk is pretty tasty but it makes my uhm..  it doesn't agree with me.  (Sabra hummus is the same!)

for nut butters (heh)  almond & peanut all the way..    you really can't beat peanut butter taste-wise, but most of us have been eating it  for our entire life so there you go. almonds are healthy as all hell. 

I just drink coffee for breakfast.. maybe some fruit.   Maybe a bagel if I'm in NY.   Can't remember the last time I ate cereal - I have weird social issues with cereal -  if we're ever eating it together  DON'T LOOK AT ME !!!!

Cereals that suck?

Long long ago, I once had this cereal called Hidden Treasures.  It was basically a cereal composed of honey wheat squares with a bit of candied fruit in the center.  I had a box of it once and thought it was the nastiest shit I ever tasted.  Candied fruit as a fucking cereal? What the hell?

There was also another one called Fibre O's which was basically a cheerios like cereal only that it was composed of barley or some shit and was nearly rock hard to eat.  It tasted even worse in milk! :-&

Dude! I had PAC-MAN cereal as a kid! That stuff was awesome! I also loved to shake up the box and put it on its side to see what distribution of Pac-Man and ghosts I get and then try to tell an imaginative story about what they're doing. :D

I too love cashews and have been wanting to try this.  Thing is the missus here is severely allergic and even a smidgen of the stuff would send her into a coma.  I still sneak a bag of cashews into the crib now and then but I make sure to eat them asap and to leave no crumbs/dust.  She's allergic to walnuts too- I believe all other nuts (yuk yuk) are ok though.

Was there a best cereals thread yet?  That'd be a nice one to chime in on.

Almost all cereals are on my worst ilst. EVERYTHING made by Kellogg's, for example. Most Post cereals too, and virtually all store-brand cereals. I've yet to find a Malt-o-meal cereal I can eat anymore; used to buy it like crazy. Whyfor all this nonsense? Because most cereals have HFCS in them...or other particularly nasty chemical bullshit like BHT or BHA. All this stuff is horribly unhealthy for you. I'll buy regular Cheerios or the honey nut variety because they're safe (they use real sugar and preserve it with tocopherols, not BHT). With General Mills cereals, you really have to be a label reader because some of their cereals are safe and some aren't. Typically, we buy Mom's Best brand cereal because it's completely safe. They make some really kickass frosted mini-wheat cereal. :D

I like just about any kind of cereal, but Raisin Bran is probably my favorite.  The worst cereals that have ever crossed my spoon are Honey Nut Clusters and Fruit & Fibre.  I'm so glad that shit is off the market so I won't be subjected to their lame ads and be tempted to give 'em another shot.

Quote from: turbo D on 03/16/2008, 03:15 AMWhat about rice and soy milk?
Neither rice grains nor soy beans have nipples, therefor there is no such thing as rice and soy milk.  There's plenty of lactose free cow's milk on the market, so nobody needs to resort to these impostors ('cause they suck anyway).

Some great food ideas here. Glad I started this topic now  :P. Just haven't been around to reply to it.
I have always wondered about Soy Milk and Rice Milk, because I always see it in the store; I think I may try some now.

Also, I knew that this was eventually going to come up, just didn't know how many posts it would take; Joe wins it at #18 - Nintendo Cereal System:

Nutella is good. It tastes more like a chocolate spread than anything else. Nice alternative to Peanut Butter, and when you mix the 2 together, it's a rather nice combination, especially on toast!

LOL - Clusters is pretty good. Speaking of that, I just found these the other day. Not sure how long they have been out for, but the store I was at, was having a sale on General Mills cereals, so I figured I would try it, since it was essentially free after the whole thing.

Cheerios Crunch.
So far, I have only eaten 1 bowl, and I'm half and half on them. I think I am going to go eat another one, since it is time for breakfast anyway:

Quote from: Dark Fact on 03/25/2008, 04:01 PMIsn't all boxed food laced with that stuff anyway?
Not all. You can also use tocopherols (Vitamin E) to preserve boxed food, and it's not harmful. Vitamin E is a naturally-occuring preservative, but tocopherols are more expensive to use than BHT. Any time you have a natural substance like this, it has to be extracted from another complex form and is therefore more costly to use than a chemical compound you can produce from raw materials, such as BHT. But what's the real cost in the end? Most companies don't care about the health benefits and risks, they care about how much money they're making and have no problem using a cheap alternative to save some pennies even if said cheap alternative is a known carcinogen. Even foods labeled as "natural" or "organic" aren't always as healthy as they imply they are...you really have to read the label to make sure you're not being exposed to a bunch of crap-in-a-box.

I'm sad to say that the wheaties that I have been eating so religiously as of late contain bht :(. On a lighter note, cheerios uses vitamin E as a preservative. Oh well, you think that you are eating healthy but you never really know unless you do research.

Yeah turbo D, I had to stop eating Wheaties too...General Mills is a real crap shoot, some of their cereals are safe and some aren't. We were buying a lot of Cheerios for awhile. :D But even some of the sweet Cheerios are full of junk...fortunately, the Honey Nut variety is safe.

If you see any of the following ingredients in your cereal, it's best to avoid said cereal:

High Fructose Corn Syrup (causes pancreatic overactivity which can lead to diabetes and cancer of the pancreas)
BHT or BHA (known carcinogens, also known to cause hyperactivity in children as well as liver damage)
Sucralose (brand name: Splenda; a chlorocarbon known to attack the liver and thymus gland [part of the immune system])
Aspartame (brand name: Nutrasweet; breaks down to methanol [highly toxic to humans] and formaldehyde [known carcinogen], and contains phenylalanines, which some people have adverse reactions to)
Neotame (same basic molecular structure as aspartame but without the phenylalanines; still breaks down to the same dangerous chemicals though)
Acesulfame potassium/Acesulfame K (not tested enough to validate safety...wanna risk it? The FDA says it's safe! Promise!)

Thanks for the laugh, I haven't laughed that hard in years! Do you actually believe the FDA is looking out for you? AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

The US government has, for many years, bent and catered to the best interests of corporations...not to its people. The FDA is a government agency who, like all the others, follows this model. Furthermore, the FDA has many people on its payroll with vested interests in these corporations and, in many cases, actually WORKING for these corporations. The FDA garners many millions of dollars in private funds every year; most of this is "hush money". Best case in point is the aspartame scam of the 80s...several key people involved ended up working for the FDA, getting aspartame rubber-stamped despite many years of prior rejection. Do you know what aspartame was formulated to do? Heal ulcers! Remember Vioxx? And about three dozen other "safe" drugs pulled from the market over the last few years after being "FDA Approved"? The FDA will rubber-stamp anything if they can pull a profit from it. Follow the money trail.

So why haven't they approved Stevia as a sweetener in the USA? Because there's no money in it for them. Stevia grows naturally and is much harder to regulate; it's more difficult to produce than all the chemical-based artificial sweeteners. Since it occurs naturally, it's also unpatentable by itself, meaning no company can develop a monopoly on it. Despite being approved in many other countries for being completely safe, the US continues to reject it based on the money trail of aspartame, its younger brother neotame, and its cousin sucralose. Fortunately, one big company has stepped up to the plate to try to get it approved...Coca Cola (with the backing of Cargill), under the brand name Rebiana. The EU apparently continues to keep it out though...due to the incomplete and tainted "studies" done over two decades ago in the USA. I don't believe there have been any big studies done in any of the countries in the EU outside of simply looking up the decades-old tainted reports and even if such studies WERE done, chances are high they'd be shut out by either government agencies or big corporations. Ironically, the American Diabetes Association promotes aspartame (hell, they promote saccharin!!) despite the fact that stevia can prevent and in many cases REVERSE some forms of diabetes. Aspartame makes diabetes worse...but hey, gotta keep those donations coming in, right? If diabetes was to be cured, there wouldn't be an American Diabetes Association anymore!

Oi...there's way too much to say here. It has taken me many years of research to understand all of this, so I wouldn't expect anyone who's never looked into this stuff to understand it right away or even trust this information...I mean after all, isn't the FDA supposed to be looking out for us? Aren't they? AREN'T THEY?!?!
