True, but there's always delicious, hot whole-grain cereal. A little milk and sweetener (or subs), with maybe some raisins or dried fruit while cooking, and Bob's your uncle.
Steel-cut oats are my fave. Lots of fibre, good nutrients, it's nice & calming, and only takes about 10min to cook.
I am in the US. Cinnamon Toast Crunch is my absolute favorite followed by Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter Crunch. I haven't has either in years and I'm not even sure they still make PB Crunch.
I visited once and tried cinnamon toast crunch. It's damn good cereal. Probably a good thing I can't get it here (Australia, and I technically can, it's just ridiculously overpriced at import shops) since it's definitely bad for me.
Porridge. And yes, I do live in Scotland. I have just put some oats in a pot to soak overnight. I will be eating it with milk, and with honey made by bees I knew personally. Yum.
Why not cook it on a stove, like someone who doesn't live in the stone age? You can add apples, cinnamon, salt, brown sugar, and some banana. It will taste pretty good.
Many people forget that you can add salt for better taste. If you're not watching your weight, add some peanut butter while it's cooling in your bowl. Or add some chocolate chips. Yes, I eat a lot of oatmeal. Rolled oats or steel cut.
I did cook it on the stove. Soaking the oats overnight beforehand makes it more unctuous imo. And of course I added a bit of salt, that goes without saying.
Grape nuts is one of those American things that I read about in magazines and couldn't quite picture; more like nuts, dry and crunchy, or more like grapes, super juicy? I still have never even seen them, so it's interesting to see the ingredient list. Yeast? Weird
They’re about the size and shape of grape seeds; maybe a little bigger and rounder. I assume that’s where the name comes from. So just imagine a bowl full of little crunchy grape seeds that smell and taste like malted barley.
I love them but they’re definitely controversial. Also good heated up in the microwave for a bit. This is an advanced Grape nut move and probably not too well known.
I had lucky charms for lunch Wednesday because one of my schools was about to throw them away. Can't remember the last time i had them. Magically delicious!
Cereal? I've not really eaten it since I was a kid. But I always preferred something plain - without sugar or such. Weet(a)bix, porridge, or - if I had no other choice - Special K.
I've always hated sugary stuff before noon. Don't ask me why. Meanwhile, my friends would pile tablespoons of sugar on their sugary super-sugar sugar puffs.
These days, I have a single slice of toast with butter. With a cup of tea (milk, no sugar). Perfection.
I almost never eat cereal anymore, but when I did, it was mostly Mini Wheats (brown sugar to be more specific). Honey Comb is also a fantastic cereal. I’m Canadian.
I don’t typically eat breakfast, but as for alternatives, I just stick to a basic 3 fried eggs and toast. Sometimes I add in some home fries… Other times I’ll toss in a banana on the side as well.
Another Scot here and I know it's not a cereal, but porridge.
When I'm having a bad day, the pouches you put some milk in and then microwave for two minutes are a really quick and (presumably) healthy breakfast that tastes good enough.
I'm from Morocco amd I haven't eaten cereal in decades.
I just eat the cake my grandmother makes, it always tastes really good. Sometimes with a nice milk coffee that I brew myself (infused with chocolate, of course). This is the best feeling I ever have during the day.
I live in Canada but was born in Mexico. My favourite cereal growing up was (and still is) chocokrispis which is basically just chocolate rice krispies but made with mexican chocolate. Also fucking love count chocula but that is a rare find nowadays, though I did find a chocolate lucky charms not too long ago which was delightful.
I haven't eaten cereal since I was like 12 or 13? I started to prefer spicy salty stuff in the morning pretty young. Give me hashbrowns drowning in hot sauce instead.
Canada- my standard breakfast is oatmeal with homo milk and 2 spoonfuls of maple syrup or brown sugar, depending on the season. I try to get the maple syrup from the Amish/Menno dudes out in the country.
Breakfast cereal is a scam invented by a psychotic incel, but oatmeal is cheap and a good source of fibre.
From germany, müsli
Oats with nuts and fresh fruit, with milk or yoghurt in it
Wouldn't eat cereal for breakfast, because it's the same as eating candy
US, not sure what it’s called because I very rarely eat cereal. Clusters was good but they quit making it so on the rare occasion that I’m eating cereal, I go for something that reminds me of Clusters.

No. A lot of cereal is targeted at children as it's an easy breakfast for parents to get them.
If you avoid the chocolate / sugar encrusted ones they can be a fairly nutritious and quick breakfast.
Croissants are high carbs mixed with fat and bread is just carbs. Both are super unhealthy and massively lacking nutrition by most standards.
