This will be wildly successful with the food stamp recipients.

This reminds me of what happened with my children. Going through the grocery isle when they were really little and still able to fit in the seat in the grocery card they of course wanted the sugary cereals with pretty boxes. I told them no and bought only lower sugar cereals like plain cheerios, shrededed wheat, corn flakes, rice krispies, etc., although I would allow them one teaspoon of sugar on their bowl of cereal.

When they started going to school they still wanted me to buy sugary cereals and added the age old phrase that all of my friends’ mothers buy them for their kids. I still told them no and continued to buy basic cereal. It wasn’t until they got to the age of attending slumber parties that they first tasted sugary cereals. Upon their return they always told me about eating bowl of a sugary cereal for breakfast and that it didn’t taste very good because it had way too much sugar in it.

Needless to say they haven’t asked for sugary cereals since and if they go to slumber parties they always hope there won’t be only sugary cereals offerred for breakfast. Both daughters have simply said they weren’t hungry a few times and waited until they got home to eat their breakfast.
