Despite my best efforts and my love for all breakfast foods, my kids would still rather have a bowl of cereal than anything else in the morning. I gave up trying to convince them otherwise years ago and simply focus on making sure that they are at least making vaguely healthful choices in their cereals. I read an article a long time back that included information from a study on breakfast cereals targeted toward children. A few weeks ago, I ran across a similar,
more recent article on Yahoo! news. It's definitely an interesting read.
If we take something away we have to fill it up with something good! When I took my kids cereal from them, we found a recipe for homemade cereal using oats. They LOVE it! You can put whatever you want to in it and it only takes a few minutes to make.
