Before I left home over spring break I made sure to stock up on some of my favorite cereals for the weeks ahead. I purchased the smallest meal plan from Sodexo which allows me to spend approximately 12 dollars a day on food. In order to have a full meal at lunch and dinner, I have to eat breakfast in my dorm. As part of the organic kick I'm on, I focused mainly on brands such as Kashi, Full Circle, and Cascadia Farms. These cereals lack the powerful sugar kick that you might find in name brand products, but that's what makes them appealing to me. The subtle sweet taste these organic cereals do have comes from either sugarcane (usually in the form of suganot or turbinado) or naturally raised honey. You still get the same amount of fiber (oftentimes more) from organic cereal; however, you will not get many of the vitamins that come in regular cereal. This is because the brand name companies "enrich" their cereals with vitamins that would not normally be contained within the cereal.
