I have many friends who are concerned about what their family eats. They are careful to select foods that don't have a lot of additives or sugar, etc. I'm not one of those kinds of people. My favorite breakfast growing up for many years (seriously, ask my mom) was the chocolate Pop Tarts with the vanilla frosting- washed down with grape juice containing almost zero real juice. It was great. It started my day with a wild sugar high that made me feel good. I got excellent grades and was never overweight (you can ask my mom about that too, although she made have forgotten about the excellent grades). Now as a mom I provide much of the same breakfasts to my own children. Here's the current cereal pick at our house.
Friends who send their kids here to spend the night (or week) probably know what we serve for breakfast. I've had kids from families with real healthy eating habits open the cereal cabinet and feel guilty just for looking at it. I do make some of my kids use skim milk...unless they really hate it.
Breakfast of champions!!
