samhexum Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I eat whatever I am in the mood for, no matter the time of day. Then again, I sleep for a few hours a couple of times a day and do not have anything near a regular schedule. I often stay up all night & sleep during the day. I had pot roast at 6 AM yesterday. marylander1940, Andy768, MikePDNA51 and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maninsoma Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Who cares when someone chooses to eat cereal, if they like it? The real issue is that Kellogg's cereals are significantly overpriced, a trend that started a long time ago. If one wants cereal for dinner (or breakfast), one should look for alternative brands that don't cost so much. Or, even better, learn to appreciate hot oats. One can get high quality oats for 10-15 cents per ounce, which is much less expensive than any brand of boxed, dry cereal. Quite frankly, a lot of food choices are less expensive than boxed cereal and more nutritious as well given that most boxed cereal is just some form of grain and sugar (with vitamins added so they can claim to be a healthful choice). + Charlie, + FrankR, + APPLE1 and 2 others 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ azdr0710 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) This vaguely reminds me of David Cameron, then-PM of Britain, eating a hot dog with a knife and fork in 2015. Just a bit out of touch.

maninsoma Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I know this might get the ire of some, but I frequently use a fork and knife for the first few bites of pizza because it's too hot to pick up and frequently is kind of droopy until the tip is eaten. I agree that the remainder should be eaten by hand. rvwnsd, + FrankR, marylander1940 and 3 others 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJOCK Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 While I do find it fascinating that you can now get, like a dozen different types of "Special K", Cheerios and other long time cereals, I have enough of a time even eating them at breakfast. They don't provide enough for much of anything at breakfast to last me. Breakfast is a very important meal and most of these fall short. pubic_assistance and samhexum 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People seem to have forgotten the history of cereal. It was marketed in the early 1900s as a way for Midwestern farmers to sell to people in poor communities who couldn't afford a real breakfast.
