Milk - It's what's for dinner
I re-discovered cereal recently. I'm not sure where it went, just kind of Irish exited out of my world. I have always enjoyed it but somehow it got shaded out by the proteins of the world. Delicious bacon and scrumptious eggs blurred my vision. Well, it's back in the fold. But not without some difficulty obviously. Nothing is easy for the Tugboat. I was unable to allow myself to purchase the old classics like Alphabits or Honeycomb. They are too childish, too linked to act one of my life's story. Instead I had to choose more adult boxes of goodness. Like Life, Crispix, Oatmeal Crisp, or Mini-Wheats for the weekend. My parents never let us have the bad stuff, like Cap'n Crunch or Count Chocula. I guess none of our cereal was allowed to have rank. Just lowly critters like the Honey Nut Cheerio bee or a letter with eyes on it. No power for my cereal, they probably didn't want me to get any illusions of grandeur. They felt like they were avoiding the sugary crap with the titles they chose. Turns out they are all sugary crap, it's just that some were worse than others. And the nutritional hole was going to be similar sized no matter the brand if that is all you have for breakfast. A lesson I never learned. So anyways, I had to pick from the "responsible" brands, but without fruit and vegetables aren't they mostly just the same anyways? Should I just throw cautions and judgement to the wind and curl up with three bowls of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, the crack of breakfast cereal. And another thing, since I mention that, why cereal only considered breakfast food? Seinfeld made great strides to open it up to the rest of the day but a new generation of kids has emerged who haven't seen that show and are pigeon holing cereal back to a fast breaking source of sustenance only. The world's gone crazy. Even Aaron Rodgers who represents the dairy state of America has publicly commented that milk is toxic. Now I don't know the whole story, not even half of it, but like all stereotypical internet bloggers isn't it my right, nay, my duty to take a half a fact and express a very polarizing absolute opinion on a topic that I have no expertise or even rudimentary understanding of? As such I have to invert a positive thumb's up to that celebrity for his incorrect assessment of an acceptable and safe beverage. I think he needs to spend more time with the people of Wisconsin and less time with his buddies like Tom Brady. Just my uneducated and impromptu opinion that I will flop on in a second, assuming I give any care to in the future, which I won't. So the moral of the story is, I'm going to overdose on Cinnamon Toast Crunch until my bowels stop me.
