Listen, I am from the original, “go out in the back yard for your groceries” child. No sugar bear until after the separation from the fold. That said, I am a white sugar fan. I have cut down considerably and no longer even eat cereal. I realized that the rebellion did not really affect anyone but me. I loved sugar bear, but like all too good things.

I too ate the healthy and sometimes sugary depending on if I which parent I was with. As a parent, I do not make cereal a staple. My children prefer eggs, fruit, yogurt , or a biscuit over cereal. But, I did not make cereal an option in their early years.

Wow JB, you are too funny. We really all needed Moms like yours.. Occasionally, I find myself reverting to the quick stuff, which is usually no good. Good thing my children are not picky they will eat whatever I put in front of them. The healthier the better, but there are days when it is time consuming and a drive thru is so much easier.. I feel so guilty when I do this.. I am contributing to an unhealthy lifestyle, but what’s a single Mom to do.. There just aren’t enough hours in the day.

Well… since it’s a rat race to get my twins out to the school bus in the am, any cereal I can down there throat “in moderation” is a plus. I’m fortunate not to have kids that eat cereal all day instead of meals, like some folks kid’s I know. Their staple foods are meat, potatoes, veggies etc… so a little “sugar crisps” one of favorites as a youth, I think would be ok. Steam

We, too, grew up without sugard cereals and such. It never crossed my mind to add sugar to a bowl of corn flakes because I had never eaten cereal with sugar. Unfortunately, I became an adult and ran to taste the forbidden fruit. Once that stomach ache hit and I sat on the throne for a couple of hours I figured the sugared stuff just wasn’t worth it. Now I get my fix from fresh fruit. Another point: I read an article in Oprah that says we have conditioned ourselves to believe that food should be cheap. So we have a hard time paying more money for healthier food. But once you put it in your mind that you are worth the extra money, it’s not that hard to spend more on groceries. Ciao, bellas!
