What about Cheerio-iossss.. I haven't bought them in ages, but I
loved them as a kid. (but would pour tons of sugar on them)

I like to eat plain cereal like rolled oats, farina, or grits. Of
course oats are thought to be better because they are whole grain. I
found some cereal in Wal-Mart today. Its probably been there a long
time, but I never noticed. It's made by Natural Nutrition, and comes in
bags that sell for 72 cents each. They have whole rice and whole wheat.
They are light and remind me of the Quaker rice cakes. The cereal has
only 60 cal per cup. The beauty of this is you can add your own Splenda
or other sweetner and still have a cereeal that is about half of the
other packaged cereals, since they are ONLY whole rice and whole wheat.


Kellogg who first developed corn flakes back a hundred years or so was
adamant about not adding sugar to his flakes, but apparently the
marketers won out. I would love to try corn flakes minus the sugar and
everything else they put in them, since I could then control exactly
how much sweetner, etc. to add. It seems strange some company has not
packaged an all natural corn flake like the original one?? Kids
wouldn't like it, but a lot of us concerned with additives, sugar,
salt, fat, etc. would give it a try.

Oh ya, those rice cakes aren't bad with a little sugar-free jam and
some cinnamon sprinkled on them either. Then they taste more like a
dessert than a cereal. dkw
