The Great Kelloggs Debate

With the preponderance of leftover Super Bowl food at our house (which we have mostly made it through now, by the way), we ended up having a conversation/debate I wanted to get your opinions on.

There was one night that leftovers just did not appeal to me. This pregnancy-no-appetite thing is getting old. Anyway, I told Alan that I would just have a bowl of cereal for dinner and he could have leftovers. Thus started his protest and the debate: a bowl of cereal is not a meal!

I maintain that it is. It's a great meal for when mom feels like total crap and Mason and I are the only ones home. It's a great meal for breakfast. It's also great for a midnight snack sort of meal when I desperately need something to quell the heartburn long enough I can (pretend to) fall asleep.

So here's the question: does cereal count as a meal? Often times we supplement with a piece of fruit (either cut up in the cereal or on the side), some yogurt, a piece of toast, etc. But sometimes we just let it stand. Keep in mind that I'm generally a stickler about the cereal we buy; Froot Loops ("Colors") are the highest in sugar that Mason will ever get if Mom is doing the shopping. We're big fans of Frosted Mini Wheats, Kix, Rice Krispies, or Cheerios of any variety. (Or at the very least, the cheap knock off bags that make you feel like you've eaten 5 gallons of cereal by the time it's finally gone!). Leave a comment or take a poll, or both. It's your choice!
