According to a recent New York Times article, many young people today don’t like eating cereal.

How can this be true?! If you’re not eating cereal, you’re missing out.

It is true that the cereal industry is taking a hit with more people opting for other options in the morning like oatmeal and breakfast sandwiches. I like these choices as much as the next person, but cereal will always be the #1 breakfast bae.

Sadly, there’s a common thought out there that cereal is only for kids. But I strongly believe that people of any age can eat cereal. And there’s so many different types that you can never get sick of it! Variety is the spice of life.

Also, although cereal is a delicious choice in the morning, you can eat it for more than just breakfast. Cereal is tasty anytime.

Do you want a healthy meal to start to the day? Try some Special K or Quaker Oatmeal Squares.

Hungry in the afternoon? Throw some Cheerios in a plastic bag for a quick and delicious snack on the go.

You’ve had a long day and don’t want to make dinner? Grab some Honey Bunches of Oats and milk.

Want a tasty treat for dessert or a midnight snack? Indulge in the sugary stuff: I’m talking Frosted Flakes, Chocolate Chex or Reese’s Puffs.

Sorry to the USDA Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, but there's been a change to the food pyramid.

How can someone dare call cereal an “inconvenient breakfast choice?” It’s so easy: you just need a bowl and a spoon! Anyone who is too lazy to quickly throw a bowl and spoon into the dishwasher after a meal doesn’t deserve to indulge in the deliciousness that is cereal.

And shopping for cereal is the best! All cereal-lovers will agree that this is the best aisle at the grocery store. But having to limit yourself to just buying a few boxes is extremely difficult because that means having to decide which cereals to get when there’s just so many tasty options to choose from.

Plus, if you enjoy your cereal with milk, you get a good serving of calcium as part of a delicious meal! Calcium builds strong bones. People with strong bones are happy people. So if you want to be a happy person, eat your cereal with milk.

Even Ryan Gosling loves cereal!

"I saw Ryan Gosling eating cereal, so I had cereal" is what you should be saying right now.

So to everyone out there who doesn't eat cereal, you do you. More for me, Ryan, and the rest of the cereal-lovers.
