I contend that almost all social problems would diminish if people stopped eating like utter shite - ruining their bodies and minds.

Here's the newest "product": bedtime cereal!

I would argue it’s social media/phone addiction.

Fast, easy food has been around decades. We’re all so “stressed” and distracted now, those options are more desirable than cooking a healthy dinner or exercising.

Serving size: 1 cup

230 calories
46g carbs
29g sugar

Let's assume the typical fattie would would fall for this scam is eating abotu 3 cups worth. Roughly 700 calories, 130 carbs, and 90 sugars right before laying down to sleep.

Oh yeah, this is a great idea.

Why is cereal a breakfast food anyway? Cereal is pretty much dessert.




What is a breakfast food? Other than a food that is eaten to break the fast after sleep. Which is completely arbitrary now that we have largely gotten away from the natural rhythm.

You shouldn't be eating anything within like 2-3 hours of sleep

Yup. Being fat makes every part of life more difficult. You're trading long term satisfaction for a quick rush.

Hmmmmm. ALL social problems? Our societal issues run deeper than food, although there are a lot of lazy lard asses around. Especially kids, they don't play outside or do much.

When I worked exclusively second shift, for a long time my food vice was cereal before bed (usually around 1:30am). I knew it was garbage then, and wasn't good. Even then I would have laughed in the face of anyone who tried to sell me on it being any kind of "healthy".

I knew a family that would eat their cereal out of mixing bowls. Seriously, one box would last about 2-3 bowls for them. They're grocery bill in the 1990s for a family of four was like $600-800/week.

Tough call between that and fathers abandoning their children

If you've ever traveled to Europe you'll quickly realize American food portions are too large and loaded with sugar. There's a reason we are the most obese country in the world

I don't know for sure but since I've gotten older, I can't eat a big bowl of cereal before bed. Especially cherios. I wake up at 3am feeling really uncomfortable like I might be coming down with a fever. Hard to explain but I'm up for the rest of the night.

So I don't do that anymore. Unless its cinnamon toast crunch. Then the aftermath is worth that sweet crunchy goodness.

I agree with you.

My mental health is typically at its best when I’m eating a lot of fruit and veggies.

When I used to eat almost exclusively meat and drank a ton, my mental health was complete shite.
