Are you a... frosted mini-spooner??

You guys buying cereal from a box and calling it off brand. This is luxury!
I get oats in a paper bag, something like £0.70/kg or so

I think the issue is that sugary cereal is both bad for you and not that enjoyable.
See, this is what I feel about alcohol, but I don't go around judging people for enjoying it. Tastes are subjective. We each get to decide for ourselves what we like, and if we differ thats just fine!
For the same price, I can get a bahn mi with veggies, pate, and egg or pho or fried ramen.
So your breakfast is a minimum of 460 calories or so for ramen, and the prep time for the meal to be perhaps 20 minutes?
My cereal (with milk) is about 240 calories and the prep time is about 2 minutes.
I look at people who eat cereal ... wondering what’s going on in their life that they’re not willing to deal with the cognitive load of seeing what alternatives exist for breakfast.
I have about 10 minutes for breakfast in the morning and you're suggesting something that is going to be twice the calories and ten times the prep time. If that high calorie breakfast with lots of prep time is worth it to you, by all means, go ahead. You're welcome to make your own choices and they don't affect me in the slightest. I don't judge you for it, either.
That particular example, you buy it from a vendor, for 150-200 yen or 20-30 VND, not every example applies to literally everyone.
But also cold noodles and broth out of the fridge with a pre-made hard-boiled egg arent a bad way to start the day when the heat index gets to 118.
As for calories, dont make so much, dont drink the broth or you will have a heart attack.

I'm straight spam
Don't give General Mills any ideas. Actually, its probably already too late. They're probably working on spam flavored cereal as i type this, and will call it Sugar Spam-Os or some such.

Frosted Mini Spooners are better than Frosted Mini Wheats. They have more sugar to the point of having almost a thick sugar crust sometimes. They're great.

Malt o meal in general is better than what it is imitating.

Agreed, shame they switched the recipe on Coco-roos ca. 2002 though.

I have always thought marshmallow maties made more sense than lucky charms. It's only natural for marshmallows adrift in a milk sea to turn to piracy.

That's really weird to see those in boxes. They are the main brand that comes in bags where I am at least. (Besides the super bland religious-or-something brand)

I mean, the better alternative is to just not buy sugary cereal.
Are you really in a position to criticize others on what they consume?
I choose not to drink alcohol. When I see other people posting about what they drink, I don't go around telling other people they shouldn't. These are personal choices. We're both aware of the potential health consequences of our chosen actions. I believe people should be free to do what they want as long as they aren't hurting other people. I don't want to think the worst of you, but the only reason I think of for you to make your comment was from a position of moral superiority. I know I've been guilty of that before and been ashamed of it later. Did I just catch you on a bad day?
Maybe I misread this interaction, and maybe it's not my business, but this reads to me as a judgement on blarghly for both implying judgment on other people and for drinking (I doubt it would have been used as an example of hypocrisy otherwise), then I read it as about how you make the superior decision to not judge people for drinking.

Yes, that was my intention.
and for drinking
No, that is NOT my intention.
(I doubt it would have been used as an example of hypocrisy otherwise),
The drinking example was that blarghly was clearly criticizing other for their choices of what they put in their bodies because it is unhealthy while ignoring blarghly is also putting something in their body (alcohol) which could easily be criticized for being unhealthy. blarghly was demonstrating "Rules for thee, but not for me". That rubbed me the wrong way.
then I read it as about how you make the superior decision to not judge people for drinking.
If you're referring to the later posts in the thread, you should notice I was using blarghly's exact words except replacing "sugary cereal" with "alcohol". I was doing that NOT because I care they drink, but to show blarghly how unfaithful their argument was but showing it in the context of blarghly's own vice. I honestly don't care if people drink or not. I choose not to, but I also don't criticize others that choose to. What I was criticizing blarghly for was their hypocrisy, not their drinking.

I get that it's meant to pick out hypocrisy, however I keep reading a deeper implication. Maybe I'm just reading things that aren't there, but if drinking was virtuous, the right thing to do, would it be hypocritical for blarghly to drink? I don't read it that way. I interpret that it's treated as hypocrisy to mean that drinking is bad, that blarghly probably shouldn't drink.

They are equally neutral because the choices we make for ourselves don't affect others. blarghly chose to think the opposite of that, that those that eat sugary cereals, and the people that eat them, are making bad choices.
I interpret that it’s treated as hypocrisy to mean that drinking is bad, that blarghly probably shouldn’t drink.
Were the original subtext your only context clues, I could understand that take. However, I have repeatedly clarified that I don't care other people drink. With that, I'm not sure why you still feel the subtextual reading is the right one. If you don't trust my clarification, then okay, but that means there's nothing I can say to convince you otherwise so I'm not sure if there's more to talk about.

Okay, knowing that you view it as neutral helps. For some reason I didn't get that.
