Short observation

I saw a commercial for Cheerios the other day that said Cheerios can help seriously lower cholesterol!

And then I thought, "Yeah, but aren't you supposed to eat Cheerios with MILK?"

Yes, milk does not lower cholesterol.

I suppose you can eat them with soy milk, but a person with high cholesterol has that problem for a reason. It's NOT from eating things with soy in them.

How about eating Cheerios plain? Why doesn't the doctor just say, "Sir, your cholesterol level is two seconds from DEATH. To remedy the problem, please chew on these round pieces of cardboard." I would rather die of heart failure than boredom.

Honey Nut Cheerios? No no no. No frills for Mr./Mrs. Clogged Arteries. You have to EARN that honey nut flavor. Let's start with eating pieces of cardboard with soy milk.

Or, how about just putting some fruits and vegetables in your diet?! Sheesh. Peddling boring ol' Cheerios to a cholesterol case ain't gonna do it. Dress it up a little! You can at least make a very tasty bowl of mashed squash. Who doesn't like mashed squash??

Mmmm. Mashed squash. Is that an oxymoron?

It's like telling overweight people to eat more vegetables in their diet to lose weight.

No $hit. Do you think someone who is 100 lbs overweight thinks, "DAMN IT. THAT'S what was missing from my diet. Vegetables!"

Hahaha! Mashed squash, redundancy at it's finest

We gave poor BabyBoy plain cheerios when he started solids(after mashed squash- ha). Little guy didn't care then, but won't touch 'em now...
