Mumbling Madly

That’s right, tasteless breakfast cereal has gone whole grain! I am a cereal-aholic, a carb-counter’s nightmare, and while I generally don’t give a crap I’m pretty impressed with the changes. Breakfast cereal, especially the kind aimed at kids, has gotten a bad rap for aiding our current obesity epidemic. Similar to McDonalds trying to make ammends by throwing free step-o-meter, General Mills is now making ALL their cereals out of whole grain. Granted, the second ingredient is sugar, and the third ingredient is corn syrup so I don’t really know how much of an impact this will make.
Josh and I tried it out last night when we splurged and bought Chocolate Lucky Charms. (I know, some of you are gagging right now). We ate them for dessert while watching Garden State on DVD. They tasted different…slightly. The milk still turned brown and we needed a good tooth brushing afterwards. Overall, I could taste the effort. Way to go, General Mills!
