There's a reason every sugar cereal in the country is advertised as "a part of a complete and balanced breakfast." When you pretend this shit is going to be consumed in moderation you can ignore the fact that it's a nutritional black hole.

Been reading "The End Of Food." Paul Roberts points out that up until the Boer War, 30% of the calories consumed daily by Britons were from the jam on their bread. The navy stepped in and demanded reforms because they couldn't find enough able-bodied men to crew their ships.
