    You people have such a small world. There are plenty of healthy cereals. Especially if you’re looking for more fiber, which isthe single largest deficiency in diet that we have in Western nations.

    Y’all see one fucking reddit post and treat it like gospel 🤣

      Most of the nutritional value I’ve seen in cereals have been through supplemental ingredients. For example, a lot of the vitamins and minerals are added in as if you crushed supplements and put them in your bowl. There are better ways of getting those nutrients, including fiber: beans, chickpeas, lentils, peanuts, flax seeds, chia seeds, various vegetables, etc. None of those require milk to be palatable and they’re much cheaper than the ultra-processed cereals. When it comes to fiber, you’ll want a variety, cereals largely just rely on bran.

        ReEEEeeeEEE their diet is not as optimized as mine 🙄

        Fucking nerds.

        Cereal is a mostly non perishable. It’s easy and predictable. Christ 🤦‍♂️

          If I were going for optimization, I wouldn’t be suggesting food, I would be suggesting supplements and powders. Odd that you seem to have a problem with optimization in your first sentence, then you promote cereal because it’s non-perishable, easy, and predictable, which all sound like optimizations to me. Just so you know, beans, chickpeas, and lentils all fall under those categories as well.
