Now that I’m in my 30′s, I have to start watching what I eat because I need to be concerned with things like diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease, not to mention my fat gut. There was a time though when I would get up at 6:00 every Saturday and watch cartoons while eating a box of sugar that had been cleverly disguised as breakfast cereal. By the time that Shirt Tales ended and The Smurfs began, I was close to entering diabetic shock.

I should probably note that my mother didn’t normally allow sugar cereals in our house.  She’d occasionally let us get Trix (it’s fruit… flavored) or Lucky Charms (who couldn’t use more luck in the morning?) and I always pushed for Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch but if we wanted something like Cookie Crisp or Super Sugar Crisp, drastic measures had to be taken.
