how's so?

Commercial cereals are made from unfermented grains - so they have high levels of phytic acid. That makes them difficult to digest - and for the body to get any sort of nutrition from them.

In addition, cereals like corn flakes are made from a slurry that is heated to high temperature and force through an extruder. That damages the grains to a point where they may actually be unhealthy.

If you must eat cereal (I never do, and I get along just fine), you're better off making your own fermented oatmeal or granola.

humm, thanks for that info, didn't know that; anyway, I don't dig cereals that much cuz it takes a long ass time to eat them , I'm a busy man, lol

anyway, I thought those macrobiotic cereals were pretty healthy

i never ate museli since being told that toenails are part of the ingredients

Wendy's chili and Taco Bell's Meat Filling - What You're Really Eating

Silicon (Photo credit: Thorius)

Silicon Dioxide

What it is: Also known as silica, it's most often present as quartz or sand

Where you'll find it: Various fast food options, like Wendy's chili and Taco Bell's meat filling.

It's added to foods as an anti-caking agent, to keep them from clumping.

You're killing me....

Guess you can't eat anything without something fucked up being in the ingredients.

I was watching this movie on tv during the evening a few days ago and there was this dude who had roaches in his house.

Anyways he opened a box of cereal and as he was pouring the cereal into a bowl ..... these roaches fell out of the box with the cereal into the bowl.

I am so turned off of cereal

That's how much it affected me.

Hope it wasn't Raisen Bran else he might have eaten some by mistake.

I have a great-aunt who use to love $1,000,000 Bars (I think that is what they are called) anyways, she'd been wanting one for days, stopped to get gas and bought one.

She's driving in the car, unwraps the candy bar and takes a couple bites of it. It was "off", didn't seem right so she looks at the candy bar and there are WORMS squirming in it!!!

EW EW EW EW !!!!

She had to pull off the road and puke!!!

She never ate another of those candy bars again.

I had a similar experience about 20 years ago. I bought a Mr. Goodbar at the little store that was downstairs of the building that I worked in at the time. I opened the candy bar, and broke off a small piece to put into my mouth. It's a good thing I did that, because there was a BIG worm in the candy bar, and it was moving around. I immediately took the candy bar back to the store where I bought it from, showed it to the cashier, and explained what had happened. She didn't really say anything about it, but I did get my money back. It took me a LONG time before I could even think about eating a Mr. Goodbar (and it was one of my favorites).

Another gross story: I was working at a different place, and I had packed my lunch, which included blueberries, that I had put into a plastic container. I was eating the blueberries, and was looking at them intently, because I saw something moving in there. Turns out there were little worms that were crawling around inside the blueberries. There were also worms in the blueberries that were on my spoon (that I had just put into my mouth). My co-workers saw me looking at the blueberries (I'm sure I had a funny look on my face), and asked me what was wrong. When I told them that there were worms in the blueberries, they started laughing. I guess they thought it was pretty funny to find live worms crawling around in your food. They were making comments like, "At least you're getting your protein for the day!" Of course, I did not see the humor in it, but just laughed along with them, because I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. Understandably, I was turned off from eating blueberries for a long time. I can eat them now, but I find myself cutting them in half to make sure there are no worms crawling around inside. Yuck!

Guess you could say I've had my fill of wormy food. Every time I see worms now, I find myself getting grossed out easily. I think it's just an after effect of accidentally eating worms.

All this talk has given me a hankerin' for a bowl of "Roachenberry" (semi-seasonal edition, "oops all berries")

We found a hairy bastard spider in our bread bin once. The wee critters get every shitting where.

just put your cerial in a see through container from now on. one with a tight lid

those open boxes with crinkled plastic only allow air into the cerial anyway, which makes

it either stale or if you eat organic oat and wheat with nuts etc, makes the oils in it rancid.

plus, fcuz, open boxes are an open invite to roaches, mice, ants, flies etc etc.

since we're sharing horror food stories anyway, here's mine:

i once ordered a burger from mcdonalds and when i opened the wrapper i found a dead cow inside

oh, wait.....
