I like to think I'm a pretty healthy person. Oh I have my issues, trust me and I have my vices. I ate a TON of chocolate cake the other day, well it was National Chocolate Cake day. Then I sooooo wanted a Happy Meal but I drove by, sigh. However, I have been trying to pay attention to eating more fiber. I thought for sure we were getting plenty, you know an apple, some spinach, granola, nuts. Women my age (young whipper snapper 40's) should be getting 25-30grams a day. THAT'S A LOT! Hell I should just go dine with the sheep and llama. I DON'T love cereal. Chocolate cake is my first choice for breakfast then maybe a scambled egg and a cup of coffee. So Hubby and I started eating more cereal and really like the All Bran, it's pretty safe, low in salt, sugar and lot's of fiber and taste like sheep feed. WELL I thought I'd mix it up a bit and bought this FIBER ONE. HOLY CRAP! Literally! NOT GOOD. I looked at the ingredients again, Contains; PHENYLALANINE I'm not going to go into ANY details but I don't want my cereal containing that stuff. It is aspartame. It does weird things to me. You? Besides the fact I could of flown around the room backwards is another story. I was going to toss it all to the chickens but decided not to. I don't want my girls eating that stuff either. So I'm sticking to Grape-nuts and All-bran and oatmeal and pumping up the veggies. That works. EAT YOUR FIBER TODAY! But not that stuff.

Another good rule is never eat anything that looks like Guinea pig poop. All those cereals taste horrible. They should actually be called number two :)
