The whole nutrition facts section feels cherry picked too. Portion sizes are way too small. Every snack food ends up being 140 calories and like 27-31 grams, regardless of what it is. I wish everything was, like, per 10 grams or some other measurement from which I can extrapolate how big a piece of shit I am easily. I don't want 27 grams of cereal, I want 40 because I'm a child trapped in an adult's body, so now I gotta do the cross multiplying thing I learned when I was a kid, and I guess it's good to stay fresh, but I don't want to.
All that being said, calorie counting apps are fantastic for anyone interested in keeping tabs on their bad habits. Not necessarily fixing them, just giving some ammo for when they're depressed and shitting all over themselves.
just eyeball it: 27=20, so double the values... there's probably so much variance that it ends up close... but also yeah we should have some standardized serving size... I'm sure the EU has done this or something lol
This is why the EU went with a 100g section. You can just read that to see the relative differences between products. Us definitely did a better job of making it readable. Some allowed formats are just mushed up text.
The waves on the south sea of milk were choppy all month as we voyaged from the buttered bread bay to the coffee or tea isles., My cereal boat was rocked from tip to trough. Several were lost at sea, and those who remained had to contest with the unending motion sickness and repairs.
There are plenty of great cereals. Fiber one is basically 75% of your daily fiber in 200 calories, You can find plenty of examples. I feel like nobody on the Internet understands the availability of trash does not exclude quality from being in a product space.
Getting 75% of my daily fiber at breakfast and then another 75% of my daily fiber just from eating normally the rest of the day sounds like a lot. I can only see this being a good thing in like a food desert or medical situation where vegetables aren't an option.
Assuming you mean eat less of the cereal and not less vegetables, that is what I'm suggesting would be preferable to me, yes.
The listed serving size is 2/3 of a cup for 65% of your daily fiber, but I think in reality most people are pouring much larger cereal bowls. I can understand why many people who try to eat healthy for the first time end up feeling sick if it's this easy to hit 40 grams of fiber just in the first meal of the day.
I'm not saying no one should ever eat it, just that it seems impractical to me as a meal and more useful as a supplement.
We've had this kind of shit for decades. It's a manager's "make it more interesting", no matter if the executing side is a robot or an underpaid graphics design intern.
Milk before both cereal AND bowl.
Debate over.
I put my bowl between the couch and the Groupon and i know it does so I get it back awhn I eat it and then i have done so it go
Because you're supposed to pour milk first, of course. Smh
We just don't see enough why the fuck picard memes these days.
No wonder AI is so confused
Probably so they don't have to declare the milk in the calorie content...
Nestle cereals also show the "calcium content: g" inside a cartoon splash of milk.
Because you're supplying that part yourself.

Oh, I eyeball it all. That's how I can run 30+ miles a week and still hover right at the edge of overweight.

New rule. Give your product to 10 random people off the street. Get them to pour out one portion that they'd eat.
Take the average, that's now your portion size.
Who decides the bowl or plate size? It has a psychological effect on how much we think we eat.
They need to at lest count my cum calories. It not safe ergonomically if they don't and I sew
Holds up spork!!!1!!
Yea, the penguin of d00m but is really popular with the middle school demographic.
Regulate harder!
* Serving Suggestion
Lidl has you beat
The house is somehow a serving suggestion
This is why there's no affordable housing, lidl enjoyers keep eating them all
Don't tell vikings they can eat your house; they will for thet do as a way to have the wood ibto itself whicg is how it grows back evety yesr
It just spilled a little. No use crying over it.
No no, tears go on top.
Thanks, AI.
I don't think this is exclusively an AI thing, more of a weird cereal box/marketing thing
People love bitching about AI in every thread
It's the new Goodwin's law
It’s probably their attempt to confuse AI.
There's many reasons to hate AI but this isn't one of them.
those types of ads have existed since before 2021
if you someone managed to make a real ad that doesnt look extremely weird before 2021, they deserve all of elon musks wealth
Leave poor Al alone, all he does is bring us joy with his music.
No thay do for ever
It’s on my lap and I’m really into cereal.
Yes. Milk… that’s what’s in my lap.

You always put the cereal bowl in the milk bowl so the cereal doesn't get soggy.
Do a lot of people actually add fruit to their cereal? I only started eating more fruit once I'd replaced cereal.
It's how the pretend it's a nutritious breakfast.

Not a bad point to make! I eat grape nuts, which I am at least pretty sure is very decent.
I also eat trash cereals, but typically those are replacements for candy or dessert.

Eat less. What an absolutely worthless statement. Get your macros whatever way you want.
Assuming you mean eat less of the cereal and not less vegetables, that is what I'm suggesting would be preferable to me, yes.

Cool paragraph about your preference. Like, just fantastic.
Bananas in corn flakes are one of my favorites. Strawberries are great too. I've never tried blueberries in life cinnamon but honestly I bet it'd slap
Oranges and lemons are underrated. Also watermelon. 🤌
I did for a few years when I ate cereal regularly. Now I add it to yogurt with homemade granola.
I’ll do fresh bananas or frozen berries, but it’s a waste of fresh berries and too much of a hassle for other fruit, imo.
I do occasionally. It makes bland cereal (grape-nuts and corn flakes) palatable without just dumping a bunch of sugar on it.
I add bananas to corn flakes. I used to add extra raisins to Raisin Bran.
Two scoops not enough for you? Are you perpetually unsatisfied??
sliced bananas into Cheerios or Oat Circles is actually REALLY good.
I never do. I'll add it to oatmeal, but not cereal.
Pro-tip: oatmeal is cereal.
In my experience most people have forgotten about hot cereals. My mom used to make Cream of Wheat all the time when I was growing up.
Cream of wheat with lots of sugar and butter is soooo good and comforting.
Instant hot cereal has completely ruined hot cereal. It's just shit compared to the regular stuff.
Still have Malt-O-Meal every so often. It's good! Glad both are still around.

Today on flowerpots as cereal bowls
You don't smoke the pot butter a flower. Goes against male a raise right make the cereal ways moren ever before.
Have you recovered from that stroke yet, or should we send help?
Burgers in butt go beach upfork my dog had a gravy train now I reach yes time grades always recovered over trip city.
Oh shit, I didn't even realize I was responding to more schizo-posting from Lemmy's own resident nutter!
I'll gabba your gooba next time you do that
When you hold the cereal bowl in your lap, but the cereal is so good you launch the bowl in the air with your ejaculate.
I want that cereal.
Give me it too
I just ejaculater. It way easier than all that shit
Not milk
Mölk

Lait
Because you're supposed to eat the bowl, obviously. The milk is just there for the bowl to float upon.
Hey. Don't hate until you have tried it. Maybe they're onto something?
My kids manage that at least twice a week.
It could be Dulux emulsion
They ran out of Elmer's Glue.. 🤷
Well I mostly eat from upsidedown bowl so some spilled milk is the least of my worry
milk and sugary crap is always wrong
AI slop marketting again

this was on special k boxes in the 90s my dude
Well, probably not the bowl of chex specifically but yeah, I seem to recall random milk splashes on some different cereal boxes.
