Is Kellogg's cereal even cheap at all?? I'm not in the US so I could only imagine but I'd guess it's not, is it?

Cereal is actually weirdly expensive nowadays. You can do much better for less.

Don't do this, you'll be malnourished. Grains aren't a particularly good food group.

Potatoes don't require much prep, are generally cheap and filling, and will be much better nutrient wise. I'd still recommend rice and beans though. Canned beans work if you have no means to cook.

I seem to remember there being issues historically with poor people relying on potatoes as their food source

Yeah being on the genocide list of the English had more to do with that than the taters

Rice often contains too much heavy mettals.
Canned food contains too much BPA.

that's probably why most recipes ask to wash rice before boiling... im certain this works great... if your house's water-pipes were not made of lead hahaha.....haha.... sigh ._.

Potatoes are also really easy to grow. If you ever forget about your potatoes and they sprout or you leave them in the sun and they get green, you can put them in a pot and grow fresh potatoes.

Fava beans are also extremely easy to grow.

They also pair nicely with liver and a nice chianti.

I recommend starting with the CEO of Kellogg.

Anyway poor people don't buy Kellogg's, it's overpriced. Poor people buy the generic cereals that come in those huge plastic ziplock resealable bags. Not only do they cost less but they have more intelligent useful packaging and the quality is fine too.

True. The really poor people buy the off brand Malt-O-Meal cereals.

Maybe the true cereals are the poor people we made along the way.

Godort ,

Almost every MaltOMeal cereal is better than the name brand version.
