Cereal is no sugar puffed rice, oatmeal or cream of wheat. The only cold cereal is All Bran Complete. I knew it has crap in it but I don't eat it that often. Read the lable on salad dressing it would make your hair curl. I stick with good old fashioned oil and vinegar with added herbs, for a creamy dressing I add yogurt. Most days I have no dressing at all. I do not eat packaged foods. There were oreos for the kids so I did have some, however some foods are for just incase I don't want to bake otherwise I bake everything from scratch. Cookies, breads etc. No jar sauce here, read the lable on spaghetti sauce and how much sugar is in it. It is cheaper and healthier to buy a can of tomato puree add some herbs and make your own. Now more then ever it is important to read labels.
