rediscovering Cheerios


As a kid, I didn't eat Cheerios a lot. Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries was my favorite- guess I had a sweet tooth. As an adult, cereal in the morning is the "easy button" but most of the time I've gravitated toward bran or whole grain cereals.



After hearing about all the fuss over a recent Cheerios commercial with a multiracial family, I decided to buy a box. Not bad, not bad at all - especially with milk and berries. Even though I try to avoid processed foods when I'm eating healthy, I don't mind pushing the easy button once or twice a week with a product that supports diversity. One of the best things I discovered while reading about the commercial was a Fine Brothers video with kids' reactions. When I heard there was a controversy about the commercial, I was just as baffled as these kids.
