(19,841 posts)Too much for a few carbs of dubious nutrition...I agree
A lot of it has flax & soy, questionable in my book, not for everybody. Not to mention serious amounts of sugar--good for nobody.
I do sympathize with people who find it convenient and don't have the time to "research" every bite they eat.
And I also sympathize with consumers who find organic too expensive. I support it because I know we must support organic if we want things to change, but I know that it's paying through the nose for it. It's like a donation to a cause for me. But yeah I'd rather take the $5 for the organic wheat-based breakfast chow and buy organic (local if poss) veggies and fruit. Try to support the local growers.
I think we'll see more alternatives to these engineered wheat based products--consumers are looking for it.
