Cereal is Dope.

To this day, I can't buy sweet cereals without feeling massive health guilt. But maybe I just can't tolerate the racism.



My parents never let me have sweet cereals. Instead, it was Cheerios for life. That or barely sweet variations were on the menu when my mom was groggily making me breakfast on frigid mornings before school. When I got old enough to control my own breakfast destiny, I stuck with the Cheerios but added a spoonful or two of sugar to the concoction. The Cheerios became just a vessel. Your brain and your parents think you are still eating a healthy cereal but you've snuck in some sweetness that your spoon can mine with the dull grain matter.
