JUST SAY NO TO CEREAL

It seems so harmless. Mornings are hectic, and it’s simple to break out a box of cereal, feed it to the kids, and run out the door. But what is the cost of this convenience? Although it’s an integral part of American culture, cereal isn’t the friend that it might seem; in fact, cereal has been linked to nutrient deficiencies, broken digestion, and autoimmune diseases, and don’t forget they contain opioids, which make them addictive.21 Cereal doesn’t have the protein you need and is often packed with sugar. It makes you more acidic and stressed. I’m not alone in my assessment of this favorite morning meal: a recent study proposed that cereal could be an environmental factor contributing to “diseases of affluence,” like diabetes and obesity, because the human leptin system is not adapted to a cereal-based diet.22

For breakfast, go for something that will help you feel energized throughout the day. Scrambled eggs with spinach, a smoothie with protein powder and greens, or non-GM tofu scrambled with veggies. If you must have sometime akin to cereal, try the recipe for porridge found on page 269.
