We love our cereal-General Mills reducing sugar

Isabelle and I eat cereal every morning for breakfast.  Most of the time, it's in a cup or a baggie without milk.  But, we love our cereal.

Recently, we had the opportunity to try some reformulated General Mills cereals.  Even in Lucky Charms.  Can I tell you how fun it was to eat some of those again?  And, Isabelle loved eating the "shapes!"  In fact, she asked for more at the store this weekend.

General Mills has recently announced that they are going to further reduce the amount of sugar in cereals that is advertised to children under the age of 12 to a single digit grams of sugar per serving.  This isn't anything new for General Mills.  In fact, they have already been reducing sugar while increasing calcium and vitamin D in addition to providing whole grains.  **Edited to add: The cereal on the shelves hasn't yet been reduced to single digits...they are working on that right now.

As a teacher, I know how important it is when students don't eat their breakfast.  But, I also see what happens to them when they eat a cereal loaded with sugar.  They crash about an hour into the day!
