There's a strong argument that it's healthier to be not obese and be short some nutrients than it is to be obese but hitting all your nutritional targets. Sure, it's better to hit both goals, but if I had to choose between the two, being a healthy weight is going to be my obvious preference every time.
But this is page seven of a "decide between two cereals" thread. WTAF is going on in here???
Some people like apple jacks.
Some people think Kashi tastes like animal feed.
The majority verdict: Kashi for nutrition, AJ for taste
Choice in cereal = level of maturity.
Being an adult means your taste buds are no longer infant, child, prepubescent, or adolescent taste buds...therefore "children's food" should undoubtedly taste vile to you.
Cereal causes cancer.
My favorite cereal is dry Lucky Charms. I eat all of the cereal first and then enjoy the marshmallows all at once separately.
Does this say that I'm childish because Lucky Charms? Or adultish because I do my work first and then I get my reward? (I've always wondered about this question. Glad there's finally an MFP thread that will likely answer it for me.)
Look, I have on good authority heard if you eat a cereal made for children you are very immature with very immature taste buds. Regardless of the fact that you approach your highly-anticipated mastication time with a well thought out plan for maximum enjoyment...its still for a child and your "common sense" should tell you better.
As adults we must eat All Bran all the time for fear of damaging our reputation and possibly getting cancer.
... is the gist of several of these pages.
Sooooo my Froot Loop Cupcakes recipe would make some people's heads explode with my immaturity?
Correct. It would be an incomprehensible level of immaturity.
Especially if you lick all the icing off first.
I wonder what would happen if I ate my Fruit Loops with a color changing spoon....
Or a chocolate spoon that melts as you eat with it...0 -

Mercola is a quack. He is an AIDS denier and says sunscreen causes cancer. I would suggest reading other sources.
Perhaps you are not familiar with The Trouble With Sunscreen Chemicals.
our research indicates that 83% of 868 sunscreen products offer inadequate protection from the sun, or contain ingredients with significant safety concerns. We found that only 17% of the products on the market are both safe and effective, blocking both UVA and UVB radiation, remaining stable in sunlight, and containing few if any ingredients with significant known or suspected health hazards.
Mercola claims sunscreen is bad simply by virtue of blocking sunlight exposure. That sunlight is prevents heart disease by stimulating nitrous oxide.
He's also discourage people from getting vaccines for preventable diseases.0 -

But that has the exact same calories as the honey kashi.
I personally like plain cheerios. I did not grow up eating cold cereals so I don't have any nostalgic "taste of childhood" cereal. When I first picked up a cereal to try as an adult it was plain cheerios and it was kind of "imprinted" as the way a cereal is supposed to taste, so anything else tastes weird to me.
Yes - but she was comparing Apple Jacks (cinnamon & apple flavor) to plain oat cereal. The warm cinnamon Kashi is a more fair comparison to Apple Jacks.
But yes, the same fiber, protein, etc. as the plain Kashi.
So you're saying it's like apples and oranges apple jacks and oat cereal?
Lol!
Yeah I wouldn't compare plain Cheerios to Apple Jacks either. But, don't get me wrong, I like both.
What about Apple Cinnamon Cheerios vs Apple Jacks?
I fecking love Apple Cinnamon Cheerios.
I forgot about those - Yum!0 -

Man.
That's depressing.
Adulting is the worst.

Well now.
Look who's being all Alpha grownup in the cereal thread.
I suppose next you'll want us all to get off your lawn, huh?0 -
"Hey, I have this choice between A or B."
"Have you tried X instead?"
"Cancer."
"Martians."
"You should really try Q."
"Cancer."

"I would go with C."

I'd take a bowl of each, and set them on fire. As we all know, 'fire is bad'; which ever one burns longer is the clearly the worst of the two; eat the other knowing you have used science.
This is combustion, combustion is science. Science is all.0 -
