a lot of cereal growing up.
we didn't
know about all the sugar
it contained.
fructose
and corn syrup and all
the other ingredients
that we
couldn't pronounce.
we never knew
how it lacked
any nutrients.
but
it kept us quiet for a few
minutes
before school,
or after school,
devouring
bowl after bowl
of marshmallows
and soft
candy
made to look like
rice or oats.
the boxes were all
packaged
to look like cartoons,
bright red
and yellow colors,
happy greens
and blues.
general mills loved us,
the dentist did too.
