A Dirty Trick By General Mills
Penelope: Which do you want - Granola With Raisins or Lucky Charms?
Colin: I'll go granola.
Penelope: I think I want Lucky Charms... no, I should be healthy and eat granola too.
Colin: Okay.
Penelope [reading the side of the granola box]: Wow, this has, like, ten grams of fat.
Colin: Really?
Penelope: And 34 grams of carbohydrate-y stuff! Man, remember when we did that diet where we only got 40 a day?
Colin [holding stomach, wincing]: Yes, I remember.
Penelope: Man. I guess this granola has fiber and stuff, but sheesh. I'd have thought it would be healthier than that.
Colin: Yeah.
Penelope: Holy Monkey! The Lucky Charms only have one fat gram! And look at this: 25 carbs! Compared to the granola, Lucky Charms is health food!
Colin: No wonder they never catch that leprechaun.
Penelope: ...Lotta sodium, it says... but, here: they have the exact same amount of sugar! Look, right here on the side of the box!
Colin: Yes, I see that. And that's before you drizzle honey all over the granola.
Penelope: What jerks!

I eat cereal almost every day- sometimes twice a day. And I get the non-sugary kind- like garnola. I always assume I'm eating healthier than if I was eating a real meal. Maybe not! I guess I'm just gonna get fat off of cereal b/c I refuse to give it up!
I can see you clicking your heels like that damned little man-in-green.
Carbs and fat are healthier if you pair them with fiber. And granola has oats which is good for cholesterol. And Lucky Charms have food coloring. I can't buy Lucky Charms because if I do I will eat the whole box in 1 sitting.
I say screw it, eat what you want.

Because that's gross.
