  No, it’s because teenage boys eat a lot

  Cereal isn’t food? I am curious to hear your logic here…

    I’m sure you could scarf down an entire party size bag of Doritos on your own as well. That doesn’t make it a good or preferred source of nutrition.

    Try asking the kid if he can routinely scarf down a dozen eggs every morning. He won’t, unless he’s the size of Andre The Giant, because that’s actual food that will correctly signal satiety.

    Anyways I assume the story is referring to the industrial sludge Americans call “breakfast cereal”, garbage that is designed to be addictive. And not, say, some kind of ancestral Kashi type of thing.

    If it were actual food, you wouldn’t be able to eat so much of it. Nothing in nature would have been easily available in industrial quantities like that, making it extremely unlikely we evolved to eat so much of it. It’s engineered to be that way.

      I could eat an entire fucking box of plain “corn flakes” if you let me when I was 16. No sugar, no milk. Was some store brand knock off cereal too. Didn’t even have added sugar. Was basically cardboard flakes.

      But fuck did I love them. I miss those shitty ass cereals now everything has a pound of added sugar ):

        I do NOT buy cereal for this reason. I have no restraint. Whether it be Bran Flakes (lovely), Special K (mmm!), or Crunchy Nut (oooh my god!), I will scarf the entire box down with milk in about an hour whilst watching cartoons.

        So I don’t buy it. I know what I’m like. Thank god I never took up smoking.

      Hm. I remember I ate 6-8 scrambled eggs with two packed sandwhiches for breakfast when I was a teen, and I am only average height.

      On the other hand, once my metabolism slowed down I started inflating like a baloon and had really hard time learning how to eat less xD

      I remember visiting some friends in the US they were so excited to have us try all the famous cereal brands like Fruit Loops etc. It was so sugary it was totally inedible to us, absolutely disgusting.

      That said there obviously is cereal out there that can be eaten healthily.

        Ah, so you’re British or? Because I’ve brought plenty of American candy and snacks over to my Danish colleagues and they fucking love them.
