Cereal without the sugar and fat
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 |

Cereal without the sugar and fat
Try a natural foods store (not a health foods store) They should carry a
multitute of sugar free - fat free (or low sugar/low fat) cereals. Look for labels such as Healthy Valley and Barbara's. Or check to see if there is a food buying cooperative in your area.
