oatmeal exposed!

it's cardboard. seriously. i just know this is some sort of nefarious "green" plot to recycle cardboard by pretending that it's edible. it's not. i force myself to eat a bowl every couple of days, but let's be real... it's cardboard. seriously. no matter what you add to it, it's still cardboard. feels like cardboard. smells like cardboard. tastes like cardboard. if somebody asks me what i had for breakfast today, i'm going to tell them - cardboard! that is all.

Cardboard has been shown to lower your cholesterol...

Apparently I like the taste of cardboard (shrugs) to each their own.

I add 3 teaspoons of sugar to mine and a bunch of fruits which makes me a very happy camper and I enjoy it a lot.

you wanna know how i know we're not in the Matrix? because in the Matrix, oatmeal would taste like chicken. that would be better.

I love oatmeal with PB and blueberries & banana in it though. I can't eat it totally plain.

I only like it if it's baked. Mushy oatmeal is disgusting! i don't care what you put in it.

Cool, there are certain foods that I don't like as well. Small world.

I add a tsp of brown sugar and blueberries to it before microwaving it (i make mine each morning from the real oatmeal not the instant). The berries eventually burst and the whole thing is blueberry flavored. I like it. I think each person has different tastes though. If you don't like it - find a healthy alternative that you do like. No sense making yourself choke something down all the time!

I feel the same about plain cheerios, or any kind of cereal rhat comes with marshmellows (the actual alphas in the aphabits cereal) that doesn't have frosting..Seriously, cardboard..Plain oatmeal I think at least has a less-cardboard-y texture, and I'll add some fruit in it to spice it up, but I never thinK, "Oatmeal? that sounds AWESOME!!"

I have this theory about Ramen Noodles. I seriously think they are made of cardboard. How else can they sell them that cheap? It cannot be food. Of course, that's what I think about most fast food too.

If you don't like it, then don't eat it.

Why do people think that they have to eat foods that they don't like to be healthy?

Hmm...I've thought this too, but I think they add melamine to get the protein count up.
So, cardboard, melamine and salt.

I keep hearing about Baked Oatmeal. How do you all prepare it? What makes it better than oatmeal cooked on top of the stove?

Some ppl LIKE oatmeal. And OATMEAL is a lot healthier than sugary crap most ppl eat for breakfast. I enjoy NOT being overweight so I'll continue to eat it.

If it's like cardboard in taste or texture, you're making it wrong.

It isn't my breakfast of choice, but made right, it's very yummy.

I love my cardboard with PB, cocoa powder and banana! Yummy!
