Cereal is the most delicious thing in the universe that doesn't require anything more than pouring two things into a bowl. No peeling, heating, mixing, blending, layering, etc. Two things, in a bowl, and what you don't use goes back in the place it came from.

That bowl was a little big for me, I'll just drain the milk back into the jug and put these soggy bits back in the box.
y'know, the kids in africa and all
I thought the rock stars fixed that ages ago.
That money went nowhere near any kids with flies in their eyes. The government got their cut though, and then used food as a weapon, literally as bait to capture rebels who were then abused
It's designed that way on purpose. Cereal manufacturers are some of the most egregious abusers of hyperpalatable foods.
Ooh, I like that, "hyperpalatable".
"Egregious" is also good, but I knew that one.
Until one day, when you're eating soup and innocently toss in some croutons, only to realize that what you're eating is essentially cereal: savory edition, which you find so inexplicably disgusting that you can't even stomach the thought of regular cereal for a depressing amount of time
"Ugh I hate clam chowder. Its just hot ocean milk with dead animal croutons."
I'm still can't believe some crazy guy 100 years ago convinced the whole country that eating sugar with milk is somehow a healthy breakfast. And the same guy convinced the same country to do the genital mutilation on male infants.
You're combining the two Kellogg brothers. One thought that pleasure was sin, and that a good diet should be as bland as possible to maintain piety. The other thought his brother's cereal tasted like shit and was really hard to market and sell, until he added sugar and salt, then subsequently became filthy rich.
Ironically, pre-sugared cereal may have also reduced the amount of sugar in kids' cereal. For a while, kids were taking regular cereal and dumping sugar on it. Instead of actually parenting and telling them no, the parents started buying sugary cereal.
And both were done with the goal of reducing masturbation.
Knowing better has a full day's worth of content on this, if you'd like to know more
Fuck that guy. I'm gonna go buy a box of corn flakes and eat it while I jerk off all day.
? I thought both Jackson and Kellogg didn't like sugar? Kellogg even believed excitement caused masturbation, and wanted bland unexciting food was the way to go. That and dick piercings that would make erections painful.
To be fair, my husband will just have 6 bowls of cereal in a row all of a sudden.
But my son… here he is with his mixing bowl.
Edit: when my son went through a miso soup phase, he would get the big mixing bowl and use a whole block of tofu. Probably straight up 2L of miso broth. For context, he is 6’2” and 19.
Your son is producing fewer dishes. Be better, husband.
You should introduce your son to Korean soups/stews. If he likes miso soup that much, he'll find some favorites in Korea as well. I'm especially partial to spicy doenjang jigae (a Korean miso stew--you can mostly use the ingredients recommended to add to the broth as suggestions and use whatever you like because it's all about the broth).
This is very similar to how I make it except that I use packaged dashi and usually use shellfish and leafy greens, sometimes noodles (udon or dangmyeon glass noodles): https://www.beyondkimchee.com/doenjang-jjigae/
It's easier than it sounds. Put dashi packet in water. Heat then remove. Add doenjang, gochujang, garlic and heat up/mix. Add solid ingredients of your choice and heat until cooked through. Add green onions (optional, I guess, but c'mon). Eat.
So good. Thank you, Korea.
It takes an enormous amount of energy to grow. One of my friend’s sons actually has stretch marks because he grew so quickly one summer.
Within limits, I think teenagers have a license to eat ridiculous amounts of food.
oh yeah, I remember being able to eat an entire large pizza and 32 garlic bread bites in one sitting as a teenager
When I was a teenager, my mom made some baked pasta and brought it with a 2 liter Pepsi to me while I was working on stage crew at the high school.
I took it up to the spot light booth and ate it.
When I got home she asked me how everyone liked it. I told her I ate it all. She said she made enough for the entire stage crew. I told her she was wrong, it was only enough for me.
I hit 6'4" tall when I was 14. At my lowest weight at that height, I was 165 pounds.
I wish I had been taught to eat a single serving, wait, and then eat more if necessary. It wouldn't have made a difference at the times when I needed to eat like twelve people, but it would have made it easier to stop eating like twelve when I didn't need to.
However, I've had smaller adults try to tell my kids that they were eating too much. How can you meet me, get a pain in your neck from looking up at me, and still think you understand how much my kids need to eat?
I wish I had been taught to eat a single serving, wait, and then eat more if necessary.
My parents kinda did.
They did prevent us from eating more than about a plateful in one go, but it was never done in such a way so as to shame us.
If we were still hungry 15 minutes later, then yea have some more.
In the same vein, our parents made it a point that if we were hungry, we could eat. Wake up in the middle of the night hungry? No worries, fix yourself a sandwich or whatever else. They never, ever, shamed us for eating when hungry.
It was always "are you really still hungry" or "careful, too much too fast and you'll feel like throwing up" and also "don't forget to eat, I bet you're hungry by now" when we got old enough to prepare meals for ourselves.
Food was never off limits at home, and the amounts were always about feeling good. Enough to be sated, not so much you felt sick.
It’s human kibble basically
Try this:
- instead of a giant bowl pour a regular bowl with extra milk
- when you finish the cereal do not drink the milk
- pour more cereal
- repeat as desired
When I was a teen in highschool... I was in a weightlifting gym class and I did soccer. When is get home, for a snack if have a party pizza (or two). Probably went through a carton of milk myself. God my mom was so pissed. I was probably half or grocery budget alone for a few years
I've got a cousin like you -- football club all day every day. Ate like a wolf and ran it all off within an hour.
Then he quit football and chonked up because he didn't know how to reduce his food intake
I had a project to track my calorie intake for a few weeks when I was 15. It was over 7000 calories a day.
Someone probably shouldn't be your teenage son AND your husband.

That's because that isn't food.
No, it's because teenage boys eat a lot
Source: was teenage boy, ate a lot
Lpt: replace all - and i mean all the snacks and prepackaged food with fruits and vegtables or just healthy things. Watch, as these thi gs will last for seemingly forever. Until you'll be forced to eat them. It's funny
What is awesome is that you will go through like six boxes of cereal in two weeks, but then when you buy six boxes for the next month they are still sitting there.
Can't wait! I'd eat like 4-5k calories a day, and literally couldn't put on weight, although swimming competitively helped a bit I'm sure. Was just a bean pole.
Smoked an unhealthy amount of weed as a kid too, and my go-to high snack was a half gallon of milk and an Entemann's All Butter French Crunbcake. Believe it or not, I cannot eat like that anymore.
Bachelor chow!
