Cheerios is not food

There is an article in the NYT today that says Cheerios is the first food for toddlers – hello! Cheerios is not food. It is processed sugar and white flour – this is not food for anyone wanting to know. When Tin was a baby I saw a lot of mothers giving Cheerios so I went to buy some and read the ingredients with my mouth agape! Then I went to Whole Foods to buy the organic equivalent – again stunned.

Tin has his share of non nutritional food don’t get me wrong although we were thrilled to see him gulping down T’s special dandelion, parsley, celery and green apple juice concoction the other day, but Cheerios he hasn’t had because it is not food.
