Last night I was talking with my beastest friend (for two and a half hours, no joke). One of my roommates had gotten a little ratatouille stuffed animal thing out of her cereal box and we were laughing about it. Then my roommates fiance got a minnie mouse stuffed thing in his cereal box. My bff was reminiscing about when she was a kid and would always look through her cereal boxes for the toy at the bottom. She portrayed it as such a wonderfully magical memory. It was then that I realized I had only gotten the toy out of the cereal box one time… Why is that? Well two reasons… I am convinced that my sister would steal them out of the box before I would get a chance to get it. Then when I would look in, my conclusion was always, man, they forgot to put it in! Depressing, I know. Mean older sister, she always took the good things.

As we were laughing about this realization she said, “well that’s where all your psychological issues started isn’t it? With the cereal box?” We laughed histarically at this for a couple minutes and then i said, “you know, it’s kind of true that a lot of issues start with the cereal box. I mean, not just sibling rivalry, but a lot of nutrtitional issues as well. (I’m in the exercise/health/nutrition/medical field so naturally always think about those things). You see, cereal is really not a good breakfast because it’s so processed. And even if it is “whole grain” it’s still not really that good for you. That was when I had my epiphany….

Picture this…a cereal box knocked over on the counter with some cereal carefully spilling out and the toy just visible at the bottom of the box. This is the cover to my future nutritional book… “It All Started With the Cereal Box…” Keep an eye out for it at a store near you (in fifteen years)!
