But wait! There are carbs and there are carbs. Not that I think Raisin Bran is a fantastic food, but nutritionally it has to be far superior to Captain Crunch. Captain Crunch is nothing but refined crap and sugar. Yes, Raisin Bran is probably refined, but is it to the same degree as Captain Crunch? Although, do I remember that the raisins are sugar-encrusted? I don't know, I haven't had that stuff in probably ten years. How about some uncured no-sugar bacon (or sausage with no sugar added) and farm eggs? I know as a kid, despite my sugar addiction, I would always take bacon and eggs over cereal.
