Normally, I would respond to a blog post with a comment, but this is Cheerios, which happens to be one of the best cereals out there. What are your alternatives? Basically it comes down to Grape Nuts (a.k.a. Quarry) and Shredded Wheat. So if you would rather eat one of those cereals, be my guest. Cheerios is a lot better than those Captain Crunch Berries that Aaron always ate, or Coco Roos that Jenny lived on while at the Elms. They have been around for 50 years! I went onto the web and here is what I found:
Cheerios -- the #1 cereal among toddlers -- has been trusted by moms and loved by toddlers for generations.
Trust Cheerios for your toddler
Cheerios...
* is recommended by 4 out of 5 pediatricians who recommend finger foods for toddlers.
* has only 1 gram of sugar per serving.
* provides 8 essential vitamins and minerals, including iron and folic acid.
* has no artificial colours or flavours.
* is made with whole grain oats and is a good source of fibre.
* helps develop motor skills because the O's are easy to pick up, firm and resist crumbling.
* tastes great and is fun to eat!
You can feel good about serving Cheerios cereal to your toddlers and your whole family. Visit Good Nutrition Building Blocks to learn more about the importance of eating right from the start.

Wow, Nate, thanks for the valuable info. I'm totally on your Cheerios team here--no fights being picked from the Texans!
Oh, I thought you were teasing me about my deep abinding love for the cheerio. I still eat them, you know.
......
and I'm still wondering from Jen's description of the lady if she might have lived in a van down by the river sometime in the 70's (of course only a quess because of the long gray hair flowing freely down her back-I could be TOTALLY wrong)
