    The goverment has determined that everything not good for you is bad and therefore illegal. Do we live in San Angeles?

      Hardygirl is spot on. Kids these days are woosies. I use to run all day on the weekends. Play football in a field for hours and probably only ate at McDonalds on weekends when we went to see a movie. The rest of the time I ate home cooked meals and for breakfast? You betcha...Capt Crunch. That and Freakies, Frankenberry, and Lord knows what other combination. If kids got off their tails and did something physical there wouldn't be this outcry for changes in advertising. It's not the gun that kills people, it's the person pulling the trigger. Change your behavior and the problem fixes itself.

        As a kid I ate nothing but Capt'n Crunch, I'm not fat and wouldn't even be considered over weight. But, as HardyGirl mentioned, I played - outside or inside but it wasn't sitting down. I didn't sit in front of a TV or computer screen for my play, I was active. I also wasn't allowed to eat too much of the cereal by MY PARENTS. Pulling a cereal isn't the answer it only continues the mind frame that "I'm not responsible for my own actions it - - fault" and Big Brother ( whoever that is in your eyes ) need to protect us from ourselves.
        I have resisted the urge to say point out other things that we are told are bad for us and we need to be protected from while some other thing are fine because the powers that be like those things but I'm not going there. It's too early and I need to eat breakfast now, wish I had some Capt'n Crunch handy.

          Too late. I've heard they've been making him eat healthy.

            Last time I saw him, he was down 10lbs. He looked great.

                Nice to know he's out of rehab now.

                  The good Captain was without a doubt, hands down, my favorite cereal of all time. I have not eaten C.C. since my early 20's but I will say that I will miss that "roof of the mouth shredding" goodness.

                    By the way, Cookie Monster may not need as many cookies if he had a hole in the back of his mouth so that all the cookies he tries to put in wouldn't end up falling out of it.

                      OK, if not already posted, the rumors of Capt Crunch's mutiny was false

                        You know what makes all of this funny? They worry about how much sugar is in it,not what it does to your mouth.

                          What does it do to your mouth? I ate it (and still do) and my mouth is fine.

                            Isn't it the cereal that's suppose to cut your mouth? Or am I thinking of another brand?

                              I think sometimes people make too big a deal over the sugar content of certain cereals. I was looking over the sugar content in some of the cereal my family has and Captain Crunch with Crunch Berries has 11 grams, the Organic Granola cereal we got from the healthfood store has 10 and Captain Crunch Treasures has 6. The adult health food cereal also has 300 calories per serving with skim milk, Crunch Berries has 140 and Treasures has 160.

                              So the adult granola cereal that's like chewing gravel and tastes like tree bark has 1 less gram of sugar than Crunch Berries and over twice the calories. The adult cereal also has the most carbs. Health food cereal 37 g, Treasures 26, Crunch Berries 22. The granola cereal does have the most fiber, 5 g to 1 for Berries and Treasures, and it should because it tastes like wood pulp.
                              You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
