Apparently, Amazon does have it. Can't speak to the sugar.

260 calories per quarter cup

~~Jesus, sometimes you forget how calorie dense seed oils are. Hilariously, adding more sugar to the recipe would actually reduce the calories/serving.~~ turns out it’s 3/4 cup

It’s for a 3/4 cup serving which doesn’t seem all that unreasonable.

I’m sure you can see how I could make that mistake. My bad

So you're saying I should go back to being a kid and scoop three spoons full of sugar on this cereal?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I once heard a nutritionist say it was better to give your kid an unsweetened cereal and a bowl of sugar and just let them go nuts, because the vast majority of kids aren't going to spoon enough sugar on it to match what comes in the sweetened stuff. The equivalent of seven spoonfuls, if I remember right.

Was he taking into account whether or not said kid would shovel up the sugary sludge at the bottom of the bowl when all the solid stuff was gone?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Pretty sure he was counting on it. I sure as hell did it.

Wow what kind of rookie kids were they surveying?

Or just eat pure sugar and take a multivitamin.
