DD likes CHeerios ad Kix.

Her school does have the free lunch in the morning. Sometimes it's healthy like graham crackers and a banana, but, yes, they do have pop-tarts too.

my kids LOVE steel cut oats in the crock pot.

I put the oats in the crock pot the night before and i mix with milk, I always have frozen fruit from the summer so i will place the frozen berries or peaches into the crock pot with the oats and let it all cook together over night. when they get up for school they have a great fast breakfast thats good for them. DD will usually mix some yogurt in it DS will use the ED Smith sugar free maple syrup or honey

My DS doesn't really like that much of the sweetened cereals, he prefers raisin bran. But then again, my son will only eat a handful of things, he is really restrictive with his diet, which mainly consists of various sandwiches, I try to make him try new foods, but he's autistic, so that is somewhat normal for his group. I love the fact that he doesn't go crazy over pretty pictures on cereal boxes, which most kids do, and he'll eat almost any kind of green veggies, he especially loves broccoli and raw spinach.

Cereal = candy.

The glycemic index on many cereals people see as "low in sugar" (Cheerios, Total, etc..) have the same impact on the body as a donut.
