Cereal is not a complete meal. I have three different vegetables along with my turkey bacon and egg breakfast. People don’t spend that time preparing actual meals because it’s their favorite hobby. It’s part of a healthy lifestyle. You get to control the additives, portions, and flavor.
Cereal tastes good to me, too. I know it isn’t a complete meal. I’m not a cook because I live alone and wind up wasting a lot of stuff because I like meals with veggies, protein, quality carbs, etc. I get by with high-end frozen dinners and leftovers from meals I eat out.
We’re in the health and obesity crisis we’re in because of the Standard American Diet and our cultural conditioning to eat what we prefer by taste and convenience much of the time rather than eat whole (unprocessed), nourishing foods with occasional treats. What we now consider the inevitable diseases of aging are quite avoidable with proper lifestyle, especially diet! Most common diseases and conditions are metabolically driven by rampant inflammation. Eliminating seed oils (canola, corn, sunflower, safflower, soy), reducing carbs by replacing with veggies and other whole foods, and greatly minimizing snacking can make a huge improvement! So many good health influencers out there spreading this info: Dr. Mindy Pelz, Thomas DeLauer, Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Peter Attia, Dr. Anthony Gustin to name a few I’ve come to trust…. Knowledge is power! GPs are starting to wake up to this and understand how little they were taught about nutrition in med school. Did you know that type 2 diabetes is reversible in as little as two weeks? Start learning and making improvements before you develop symptoms. Our current heathcare system (aka “sick care system”) waits for you to develop a symptom, then treats the symptom with meds rather than treat the actual cause of the problem. (I hope this helps even one person start on a path to better health!)
Totally me as a child. I’d have eaten cereal for supper if they had let me. Copious amounts of sugar on extruded grain products soaking in whole milk – what was not to love?

Cookies are a wonderful breakfast, if there’s no cold fruit pie on hand.

The only meals I spend 3 hours preparing would be Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. Most dinners take less than an hour.

We were allowed breakfast cereal as a before bed snack after an evening (3-4 hours) of swimming. It was just right.
