I have cereal very rarely, and I only eat Kellogg’s Corn Flakes when I do. The rest of the time I’ll have an “everything” bagel, or some days I’ll have bacon and sausage with an omelette, or with eggs over-medium. Sometimes I make hash browns to go along with them. Toasted Italian, sourdough, or English muffin on the side. If I have a big breakfast, I have a small supper, and vice versa. I only eat twice a day.

"I think the last time I ate cereal other than oatmeal..."

The only time I've ever gagged myself through oatmeal is in the hospital, and was on a restricted diet. It's the only time I drank tea too, because they wouldn't give me coffee.

I do Intermittent Fasting so I don’t eat until 2PM every day.

It’s never been the same without Quisp. I hardly ever eat cereal now.

Someone told me a long time ago that the reason there is such a long cereal aisle is that most of it is made from waste grain products from making something else. I believe it.

Cereal was originally health food. Some of it still may be.

Watch the History Channel series The Food That Built America for more details.

Harvey Kellog was one seriously strange individual.

I like my ham & cheese eggs, hash browns and pancakes.. Or hot dog gravy over pancakes.

I have been wanting rice krispies treats lately though. I haven’t had them in a long time.
