    Default Why I Don't Eat Cereal

    ...besides it being full of carbs, sugars and fiber you don't need.


    Quote Total Blueberry Pomegranate cereal from General Mills contains no blueberries and no pomegranates

    (NaturalNews) A cereal offered by General Mills called "Total Blueberry Pomegranate" cereal has been characterized as a "total fraud" by investigative journalist Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, as part of a non-profit Food Investigations documentary being shown at www.FoodInvestigations.com

    Volunteering his research efforts under the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center, the Health Ranger found that Total Blueberry Pomegranate cereal contained neither blueberries nor pomegranates.

    Quote U.S. food companies caught faking blueberries with artificial colors and liquid sugars, reveals Health Ranger investigation

    (NaturalNews) A Food Investigations mini-documentary released today exposes the "blueberry deception" in name-brand cereals, bagels, breads and bars. As revealed in the investigative video (www.FoodInvestigations.com), big-name food companies that offer blueberry cereals, muffins, pastries and bars have been caught "faking" the blueberries by creating them out of artificial colors, partially-hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).

    Yew, dispicable sh**s. I read somewhere that instead of cereal you could spinkle some vitamin powder on cardboard and eat that - equally nourishable.

    Better living thru chemistry.

    It's just smart to be aware of "food" additives in prepared stuff; reading the labels can be educational.

    I had cooked oatmeal for breakfast with real raw walnuts and pecans that I chopped up and threw in. A little raw honey, cinnamon and raw milk. It got me this far today. Uncooked oats with yogurt, nuts and fruit is pretty good too.

    The styrofoam packing peanuts from UPS doesn't get soggy in milk the way cardboard does

    Steel cut oats like pellets, sticks to you all day. Probably a good thing to have in the emergency larders for that reason.

    I'm still being difficult and want my bacon and eggs in the morning, I'll take the grease over the wall paper paste pseudo grain cereal. Commericial Cereal never did anything for me but put me into a carb coma. Some 'start' to the day.

    LOL, it reminds me of years ago seeing a housemate eating cottage cheese dotted with big protein pills for breakfast. Yuck.

    Eggs are one of the best foods going, as long as they are organic free run in my opinion. I eat almost a carton a week to myself and always cook them in quality butter . Bacon, I beleive, can be good, but good luck finding bacon not full of chemicals and also made from a well raised pig. For these reasons I don't buy it.

    Mine are fresh from the butt organic free run eggs , I eat a lot of eggs myself since I keep several chickens. Not sure if its urban chicken rumor or not but its my understanding that unprocessed eggs don't have the cholesterol issues that processed ones do. Store bought bacon is still suckitudidnous but there are farms around here that provide organically grown, and chem free pork,beef, poultry and lamb. They treat their animals with kindness too which is a plus.

    Depending on what cereal, any name brand general mills cereal for sure stay away from. But there are high quality organic based cereals kashi etc, that do not have harmful ingredients, might not have high nutritional value but nothing harmful. I LOVE the rice drink made by rice dream, i think it taste beter than milk, no filmy residue, and more calcium and it has B12 and other vitamins. These products are more expensive but you can't put a price on your health when eugenics is alive and well.

    Organic eggs a must, any animal product for that matter.. Me personally would not eat Pig even the cleanest pigs have parasites that can end up in your brain.. eeww

    Dr Edward Group of Global Healing Center some of the best health advice out IMHO

    Looks like you got everything figured out over there. I don't quite have that oportunity where I am at.

    I wouldn't worry about the cholesterol issue, it is a complete myth as far as im concerned. Actually, if anything, having low cholesterol is unhealthy. Check out my saturated fats thread over in alternative medicine and science for an alternative view if your interested.

    Peace.

    I am tired of eating all together, I hope we can reach a state of balance on this planet as a whole and reach a point were we can transcend eating like I have heard on other benevolent planets.

    I am an athlete and eat atleast 4 -5 meals a day to get the amount of nutrition to stay in tip top strength, It is difficult especially on limited resources.. Well time to go cook

    Well, I must say, that there is no food I know of besides animal products where you can get B12 from (essential vitamin!). Many will think spirulina, but that is not the case. Shell fish are a great souce of B12, and beef liver as well (I can't really do this one ). Eggs have B12 too.

    If there is one nutrient no one needs more of it is calcium. Do a quick search up on magnesium (something most people lack) and I think you will understand.

    Milk is a great source of many nutrients as well (organic of course). I will not consume anything but the highest fat content milk, mine is 3.8%MF (whole milk). Skim milk should definitly be avoided. Raw milk is the best if you have that option. Yes, there is the issue of the mutation on the casein protien. This is a problem for A1 cows, which are basically the only type of cows in North America. A2 cows do not have this issue. I still think the benefits of milk out weigh the casein issue, and I believe all the other good stuff I eat will counter it.

    I mean no offence, just giving another view.


    Update

    Forgot to mention that you may want to take a double look at the ingredients on the kashi cereal, it's full of soy and other nasties. I also heard they got bought out buy one of the big companies.

    I am pretty athletic myself, although I don't play sports. I bet if you change to a more fatty diet you will notice you won't need to eat as much.

    And I totally know what you mean, eating is more of a chore if anything.

    Lack of Iodide and Iodine since they started taking it out of our table salt is becoming problemic too. Metabolic function to name one. Shellfish are good for replenishing those as well.

    There's also a lot of beleif systems tied up with eating. If you constantly feel as if something is bad for you, or you feel guilty eating it, that belief is going to manifest in some fashion. Good or bad. Mostly bad, people have created a whole complex about foods. People who have weight problems and feel guilty about the foods they are eating are going to turn basic nutrition into a power struggle.

    And there's always always someone riding me about my coffee intake....but it is filled with antioxidants so maybe the cons are balanced out by the pros.

    I agree with what you said here.

    I think coffee depends on the individual, but I doubt it's a good idea to consume alot. I drink 0 to 3 a week myself, I kinda feel it cleanse out your stomach for some reason. I will only drink organic fair trade though, with raw honey instead of sugar. I would also like to say that I really have suspicion about the content of starbuck coffee. That stuff absolutely destroys me. If anyone has info on this I would love to see it.

    yeah coffee is highly acidic, it burns microscopic holes in your intestinal linings which leads to problems of all kinds, toxins in the blood etc.
