Next it will no sugary cereal, just oats and gruel for the peasantry.
I haven't had sugar cereal in a decade. I don't know how you could ever prefer them over oat flakes
I had steel cut oats for lunch. It was great, and I didn't carb crash!
That's another win for the oat flakes, they don't drive your blood sugar too high, but will keep it up for very long (no carb crash), plus they contain a load of micronutrients. Even their protein percentage is quite high - higher than chickpeas for example.
Long story short, I don't understand why people here are mad that the US government will no longer subsidize unhealthy and overpriced garbage. I know this probably isn't where it's going to stop, but at least this particular instance makes sense I guess.
I'm not against did stamps being able to buy sweets. The issue I have is with a lot of breakfast cereals is that they too are in fact sweets, but people see them as a proper meal. They're not. Occasional sweets are fine. Regularly eating a full meal consisting only of sweets is not.
