“better than eating refined breakfast cereal or junk food. And so I want to merely be clear about that point. It's not like we can't make some processed foods that are healthier if we can figure some of this stuff out.”
“And so the example I use there is Cheerios, right? Cheerios is not a bad cereal. Parents are giving your kids Cheerios. Don't worry about it. It's probably OK. It's not a worse cereal. But compared to steel-cut oats, Cheerios is molecularly disassembled and highly processed.”
“And if you go look in your pantry or next time you go to the grocery store and you're comparing products, you're comparing energy bars or cereals or other things like that, I think it can be helpful.

“But if I have like a half cup of milk, I'm going to kind of notice it. So I use oat milk. That's fine. When I have cereal, I use oat milk.

“think that I'm the best dad in the world and I want them to be healthy. And I don't really bring a lot of cereal into the home. I make breakfast for the kids every morning for the most part. And it's a mix of various meals that I make. And they think, wow, my dad just loves me so much. Yes, I do. I love you all my little darling babies, but I do it because I don't”
“And then I think I need six bowls of cereal right now. And so then I will eat myself sick. And like a true addict, I will tell myself, I'll just have one bowl. What's the problem with one bowl? And then yet there's this little shoulder angel telling me, oh, but you know, you're not going to stop at one bowl. But then there's the addiction side of me saying, yeah, I am. I want this.”
