    Sounds good. I’m sorry I missed the part about the milk. . I guess cereal has more vitamins than candy corn. Ha!

    Ironically it was Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (yes, the cereal Kellogg) who patented a process for making peanut butter.

    I could've. I went through about a gallon of 2% or skim milk and a loaf of bread's worth of meat and cheese sandwiches each day, along with whatever was for dinner and a few snacks. I wasn't purposely doing GOMAD or anything, that's just what I normally ate.

    I'm not entirely sure I've ever thanked my parents for feeding me during those years. I should do that, just to make sure.

    Many if not most male teenagers should be able to do exactly that. Maybe the present generation is not active enough.
    I know I wasn't a particularly athletic kid (80s and 90s), but I know I ate tons and tons and was always skinny. I was active, as was normal back then. When I started training (ok, exercising) and actually trying to gain muscular weight, I ate so much my parents complained and told me they'd be happy to be rid of me just for not buying my food anymore. I ate 2kg of meat per day, and this was far from all I ate.

    Yes, you should. Good idea. Me too.

    I can't speak for Santana's intent, but Dr. Kellogg's marketers did us a dis-service when they subverted the term "cereal" to mean processed breakfast product doused in milk for today's vernacular.

    As for Sean Herbison's teenaged eating conquests, I wasn't quite as accomplished, but my mother appreciates that when I was craving extra calories as a teen, I'd just scrub off a potato, stab it with a fork a few times, and nuke it in the microwave. I wish I could hand that 90's kid a copy of SS and a squat wrack.

    Cereal is cheap, full of carbs and micronutrients, and easy to consume in large amounts. I’m not aware of any serious long term side effects from eating cereal. That being said I’d prefer bran cereals and whole grain cereals over things like Lucky Charms.
