Iron Fortified Cereal or Pop Tarts?

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little,

I would rather eat an iron skillet than liver.

More for me!

Though you are missing out on liverwurst (like, delicious bologna), pate, FOIE GRAS (though not as good as other livers as an iron source)...

Delicious bologna is an oxymoron.

Better for the environment? Do they make you fart less or something?

Is there some reason you don't want to just eat meat? Liver has tons of iron if you like liver at all, but also red meat, dark chicken, spinach...

Liver, Pop Tarts, Liver l, Pot Tarts.....hmmmmm.........I think I know which one I'm choosing.

I pick liver. That stuff is delicious.

I told my dad I wanted dibs on his lamb liver when they have the sheep butchered

Seriously, liver has gobs of nutrients but if you hate it just eat a steak!

How about having a liver sandwich, but instead of bread use pop tarts

Win. So much win.

Pop tarts or cereal - neither! Red meat has iron. That fortified stuff may or may not be used by your body. Processed food is no place to get good nutrition.

Processed food often tastes really good though.

Yeah, just eat a little extra cereal. I eat 1.5-2 servings when I have cereal, then only a half cup of milk.

Iron from meat is more easily and completely absorbed than plant sources. Steak and eggs with a side of strawberries or a glass of prune juice* would be an iron rich breakfast.

This site provides a list of iron rich foods.

* I don't suggest having prune juice daily. I tried that once as a way to up my iron intake. After about 3 days things were not going well. Or rather, they were going a little TOO well, and often, if you get my drift.
