Toxic sugar's secrets CBC doc link

Count Chocula is my hero. Speaking of which, I need to stock up. It's the season!

I challenge you to pick up a box of Kelloggs Krave Double Chocolate cereal..... you may just have a new favorite afterwards.... :drinker:

I can sense a new after dinner snack idea (refuses to give up my Greek yogurt for breakfast habits) :bigsmile:

@Stage14. Im guilty to admit I've never had Frankenberry! Something about chocolate with chocolate which then makes chocolate milk was all I ever wanted in life...

Definitely grab a box to try this season! While I agree that Count Chocula is king, I do love that wacky strawberry cousin of his. Plus, alternating between the two makes them last longer.

I found two of the old monster cereals at Target: Yummy Mummy and Frute Brute. Soon I will be enjoying orangey and fruity goodness.

Saw those. Have yet to try them.

I haven't eaten them since the late 70's or early 80's. I'm holding off because it will suck if they aren't as awesome as I remember.

Lol! I so get this....I am really not a sugar fan. Not because it's evil or whatever, but it's just not my thing and that becomes more true as the years go by. So sometimes when I remember really liking something as a kid, I purposely don't eat it because I know there's no way I'll like it as much now. Except 100 Grand bars. I have one of those bad boys about once a year and they're still awesome. Plus I had a crush on the kid in the commercial when I was like eight, sooo.....


ETA: I do remember liking Franken Berries, though. Wasn't the a third one as well?

Count Chocula, Boo Berry, and Franken Berry.

Forums are heavy on the stupid today.

who do I believe the kid who buys the cereal with the cartoons on the box or Dr. Lustig.

You tube the skinny on obesity a must watch.

I believe someone like Aragon. There are other people to look to - not just those two you mention (thank goodness).

I'm waiting for the special on the evils of organic food...

Organic is so last decade

I got a box of those about 2 months ago. With no milk it was good. With milk I wasn't a fan.

I still have around 20 boxes of the count left to go through. I have to stock up with more while supplies last.

Yeah same here I just pour some into a bowl and eat them dry but on occasion will mix with chocolate milk.... :drinker:

with chocolate milk? You wild man.

Lichent,

I recall, from your very first post, I think.... that you and 'buddy' ditched all the sugar, and everything you deemed 'junk food' in your house? How about a personal update on how that is all going? You might be a bit more credible, if you could offer some personal stats on your own health journey, instead of just posting links to stuff.

What was buddy's and your starting weight, and where are you now? Are you tracking using MFP, or have you just cut out the 'junk food?'

If I remember right.....they were also thinking about becoming hunters and gatherers for all of their food and ditching all technology, but keeping the computer for nonsense threads like this. :huh: Maybe they should get together with that guy that was wondering how to log sticks and bugs awhile back.

I get the point being made, but I have trouble with oversimplification for the purpose of making one's argument. Just saying...

Aw, I missed that one.

It was a short lived troll thread, you didn't miss too much.

Organic just means carbon based. So most food is organic, and a bunch of other stuff too, like diesel.

All the best herbicides and pesticides are organic.

But I think we all know the reference is to "Organic" the quasi-religious food production model.
