I think it's pretty simple. Most groups of families these days are concerned about 2 things: health and money. Healthwise these cereals are awful for you, with high amounts of sugar and low amounts of anything good for you. Moneywise, prices for cereal boxes have skyrocketed. 1 box is almost $10 which is absurd, especially when it's finished in just a few days for a family.

Cereal was still cheap as anything in the late 90s but the market was in free fall. Us 80s kids were literally the entire cereal market. The industry completely failed to convince the next round of kids to eat the stuff, and the market became a shadow of its former self.

Yep, and all the sugars make you feel so awful. I remember how hard I used to crash way back in high school after eating cereal or toaster strudels in the morning. The sugar just isn't good. For like half the price, I can get some oatmeal and frozen blueberries, and just make my own in the morning. Doesn't take that much more time, doesn't have nearly the same sugar. Or I can make cornbread (I like sweet so its not necessarily better for you) and mix it with milk or pinto beans in the morning. Or there's yogurt with granola and fruit, etc. There's just so many good quick options out there better and cheaper than cereal.

Once upon a time, cereal served a purpose. It changed the world with a fast and simple paced way of getting a good nutritious product with energy that got you going in the morning. No longer did you have to cook meat, bake bread, or simmer porridge for hours before work or school. But then, it became unhealthy. And, if you are diabetic, they tell you that it is one of the worse things you can eat. And the people that were selling it, reinforced this notion that it is the most important meal of the day. Well, the new news is, its not.

Unsweetened corn flake are still full of sugar simply because of the way they been processed. They are easily absorbed into the blood. Also, the corn used was sprayed with glyphosate from the herbicide Roundup. Glyphosate was patented as an anti-biotic and destroys good gut bacteria. Glyphosate also causes leaky gut because it breaks the tight junctions along you gut wall. The leakage causes low grade inflammation throughout the body which can lead to a host of auto-immune diseases. This is one of the reasons why we have an obesity epidemic in the US. Over 80 percent of f the population is insulin resistant, meaning they can't switch from burning sugar to burning fat, so the fat remains stored and accumulates. This does not include the other chemical additives.

What sugar? Unless its "Frosties", the sugar coated version, the regular corn flakes has no sugar. That's why it tastes boring and people pour spoonfuls of sugar in it. Or am I mistaken? Does it have added sugar? And the generic brands are thin and go soggy.

these cereals should be also labeled as junk foods.

as a kid and teenager, I always used to ask my parents to buy cereal for the morning. However, I think our education system is playing a role in cereal. I found it more convenient to just buy something on my way to school rather than wake up a half hour earlier to eat some breakfast that would make me hungry by 11 am. Most cereal we bought ended up collecting dust on top of the fridge. We also only ate cereal once or twice a week, since its sugar content is way too high.

Growing to had cereal everyday. But now as an adult with young kids I understand most cereals have way too much sugar and are really expensive. I offer my kids healthier breakfast options. When I go buy cereal isn't always the generic store brand because it's a better value financially.

I do really like my Cheerios though. Even though everyone says that they taste like cardboard and are for old people, lol.

Kellogg has declared war on the American family through cost-prohibitive pricing, coupled with an inferior product.

Our family was always big on cereal. I'll never forget once when I had a sleepover when I was little and the girl I had over was in awe when I opened the cupboard where the cereal was when I asked her what kind she wanted. We always had around 6-7 boxes on the go in different flavors. She said at her house they only ever had one at a time. We ate it in the morning and often before bed as well! I like the sweet ones and the not sweet ones, just depends on my mood. It has gotten ridiculously expensive though.

Hopefully not. That stuff is so unhealthy. All carbs. Processed empty carbs even

Maybe because it’s has so much sugar and also bio engineered ingredients

10 cents of value in a 10 dollar box of cereal. Same formula for Potato chips. This formula doesnt work anymore, too many shareholders gouging customers. Pretty sad when beef costs less per pound than cereal.

Post/Malt-O-Meal also produce a lot of store/generic brands which has helped their company improve.

Personally, I stopped eating it for a time because I became more nutrition-conscious. It wasn’t that cereal had components I didn’t like - it does sometimes, like excess sugar, but there are still varieties that minimize this if it’s a priority for you - but that cereal was often missing things I realized I needed, like protein and various micronutrients. But then eventually I noticed companies suddenly had protein-rich cereals on the market (and the heavily micronutrient-fortified kind also emerged on my radar, though those have been around for years) except at this point I’ve learned to cook and experimented with a lot of alternative, easy, healthy, breakfasts so going back to a cereal-heavy breakfast menu is just unlikely. My tastes, skills, and practices changed. 🤷‍♀️ I still totally appreciate having fortified minimal-sugar cereal on hand for occasional consumption but I’ll never go back to my old cereal breakfast dominance. I can make so many delicious things now it’s hard for cereal to compete.

It’s like eating cardboard with sugar and added vitamins, better a bowl of oats, honey and banana with a dollop of natural yogurt. 😊

I recently purchase cereal for the first time in many years (young niece and nephew visiting). I was shocked by the price $7 a box! (I recalled cereal being about $2-3). When the children left there was cereal left. My husband and I tasted it. The lucky charms was the texture of styrofoam and tasted of chemicals while the cinnamon toast had a cardboard texture and tasted of dirt. We threw it away and decided the kids would have to do without on their next visit.

Can't believe I used to eat it daily two decades back.
