GROWING UP, THE NEXT STEP (PART I)

i'm an adult now. or so i like to tell myself. even though i may be the anti-adult adult, i can delude myself for a short time into thinking i am a productive member of society during breakfast. i do this by avoiding starting my day with a cereal that 2 of the 3 main ingredients are some form of sugar/corn syrup. now i do love the sweet stuff. but i don't want diabetes. luckily my tastes are evolving, and even more lucky is that cereal companies are starting to realize that healthy =/= shitty tasting. cereals high in fiber and whole grains are getting better everyday and i am so pleased with that. here is one of my favorites:

smart start.

antioxidants. strong heart. vitamins. all the crap your mom tried to make you eat in a breakfast cereal, but you never wanted to because a lot of those cereals sucked. you don't have to eat grape nuts to not feel shitty about your cereal choices. we are living in the 21st century. we have a black president. we can have a good tasting cereal that doesn't lead to cavities and obese children. this cereal seriously kills it. oh and oat clusters. god i LOVE oak clusters. i want to scream it from the highest mountain tops! every cereal should just throw in some oat clusters. i wouldn't even care. it would make ever cereal better. seriously. think about it. the smart start line has some other cereals i haven't had yet that i'm sure are just as good. this cereal is an example of the beautiful dance between health and flavor that is a joy to eat. you finish eating and think: "wait, that was actually good for me?"

also i want to give a shoutout to my friend brook tarbet on her birthday. i wrote these two posts for her because she loves this blog and is very enthusiastic about me continuing it. she is a wonderful friend and i hope she had a lovely birthday. she is now part of this blog forever.
