Is there such a thing as a healthy breakfast cereal???

[Plateau_Max]

Wow, the thread finally made it's way back to cereal.... sort of.

Now to derail that once more.

I think the consumption of soy is just an unnecessary risk when there are so many alternatives that don't come with the negative connotations. Why have soy milk when you could have organic skim which tastes better anyway? Why have soy protein when you can have whey and casein? I understand some people are lactose intolerant or for other medical reasons are forced to search for alternatives to dairy... but if not, why bother?

I drank soy milk for some time but thanks to my beloved wikipedia which led me to many other studies showing the possible risks I just quit and went back to my organic skim. The study Funk posted showing the positive effects dairy based milk post-workout is new to me, makes me want to make the good ol' post workout shake with milk thanks Funk.

Metaphor time. Drinking alcohol in moderation, smoking cigarettes in moderation, cosuming crystal light which is very high in cancer causing chemicals... you know what I see? I see a kid who keeps sticking his hand into an open flame and pulling it out just before he gets burned too badly, then when his hand cools off he sticks it in again. There's no reason for the damn kid to be sticking his hand in the fire in the first place. The moral? QUIT TAKING STUPID UNNECESSARY RISKS.

I've decided 'the hell with it! I'll either have oats, bran flakes or wholemeal bread' I cant find anything within my price range or ezekiel bread anywhere near by

 

[Double D]

I eat

eggs
sprouted whole grain bread
some fruit

I still cannot find sprouted whole grain bread anywhere!

 

[leg_press]

Where you from Double D I cant find it in the Uk either

 

[Double D]

I am from the US. I have tried WalMart, Dierbergs, and a few others.

...without reading the load of posts before me...

I vote for Kashi Go Lean. Protein and fiber for the win. Plus, I've grown to like it and actually crave it in the morning. That may be a problem though....

I've tried Sainsburys, tescos, iceland, Somerfield, Co-Operative. All the supermarkets in my local area, then only bread that my healthyfood store sells is rye bread and that is very expensive

Trader Joe's, Whole Foods and Costco all sell sprouted breads... they are in the fresh bread sections of the stores.

Just be sure to put them in the fridge or freezer when you get them because they mold fast!

Neither can I.


This thread was awesome.

look in the freezer section at a health food store.

I rarely ever see it at the grocery store. You have to go to a health food store like Wild Oats or Whole Foods market.

 

[P-funk]

really? I purchase mine at fry's marketplace.

I'm not talking about here . In AZ they are everywhere, even walmart and target grocery stores. But everywhere else in the country they are nearly impossible to find in regular grocery stores.

 

[P-funk]

oh.

Yea, I remeber it being at normal grocery stores in NYC too....but again...that is NYC, so nothing is normal there.

I think when I am back home in Cleveland, I have to get it at Wild Oats though.

 

[AKIRA]

Please. No more cordial shit.

Ehhhh Cleveland? What part? I was born in Euclid Glenville Hospital.

Havent looked in the freezer, I'll lok next time I go shopping. Is sprouted grain bread expensive?

I think it may be a little more expensive. Where you get it at will determine that. At the regular supermarket here, I get it for a normal price. At Whole Foods, i have to pull down my pants and let them fucking me in the ass before I get my bread....they rip you off big time.

it is in the freezer section because it has no additives. if it isn't frozen, it will go rancid fast. when you purchase it, keep it in the fridge.

 

[tucker01]

Basically can get it in most Grocery stores around here, like stated earlier in the freezer section. If they have a health section it is usually in there.

I figured it would be frozen...

Does it taste the same as regular bread would you say? For the most part...?

 

[tucker01]

I like it better then normal bread.

But then again, I prefer pumpernickle, and rye bread.

What's being built over by you, Wild Oats or Whole Foods? I still like Sprouts better than all of them.

Whole Foods.....Someone was telling me that Whole Foods just recently bought out Wild Oats. I don't know how true that is though?

Yea, Sprouts for the win. The prices can't be beat.

 

[leg_press]

Is wholemeal or granary acceptable?

 

[Pianomahnn]

Whole Foods.....Someone was telling me that Whole Foods just recently bought out Wild Oats. I don't know how true that is though?

Whole Foods put out a bid for Wild Oats which I believe Wild Oats accepted. However, the FTC put out an opposition to this stating some form of monopoly unfair to the consumer bullshit. I loathe this decision because of the entry into the health food market of such large chains as WAL-MART! Whole Foods and Wild Oats will need to merge in order to remain competetive with these retailers.

So, yea. I like Wild Oats a lot, but the Whole Foods is closer to me.

I found sprouted grain bread in my local health food shop a 400g loaf is something like £1.45, dont know what additives the have put in it because the best before is March 2008, but 1/4 of the loaf has 45g carbs so it fits in with my macros, and its about the same price as organic 'best as homemade' white and wholemeal bread in supermarkets in the UK.
