because of economic situation today, more and more people are skipping meals not because to save extra cash but people don't have anything to spend. i am not in a different position actually, i have my time where i have nothing to spend. so if i would consider eating something, i would eat something cheap like the noodles pairs with sausage or a bowl of rice and a few shanghai rolls which is even cheaper.
cereal however is what is suggested by Kellog's CEO which i think is far from what people have in mind when it comes to dinner because cereal is synonymous to breakfast. but anyway would you bring this up to your family to eat cereal at dinner?

In a recent push to adapt to changing consumer habits and economic pressures, major food conglomerates WK Kellogg Co. and PepsiCo Inc. are reimagining dinner plates across the nation. With grocery prices surging by 25% over the past four years, these companies suggest that traditional dinner options could take a backseat to more unconventional choices like Frosted Flakes and Dorito casseroles.
WK Kellogg CEO Gary Pilnick, highlighted cereal as an economical and versatile dinner option in a CNBC interview, stating, "The cereal category is a great place for consumers under pressure. We’re advertising about cereal for dinner. Think about the cost of cereal for a family versus what they might otherwise do."

would you bring this up to your family to eat cereal at dinner?
If there really is no other choice then yes. My question is what if this is the only food we can have on stocks? Families who are not used to eating this kind of food will I think won't survive if not forced to eat it not just one but three times a day in a worst case scenario. The only problem with processed foods like this is their availability as manufacturing these product might be challenging depending on how severe the situation is. And also our ability to buy these products if it is the only cheapest option I think this is the best choice most specifically to those who are the poorest of the poor in the society. But if we are talking about todays economic situation, there is no need for it right now since we still have choices and I do hope that we won't end up in that kind of situation wherein it will be the only option of our food source.

Eating cereal for dinner is not something to argue over, because if there is no choice at that point, due to economic circumstances you can have cereal for dinner, because is is quite affordable and it is light also.

Diabetes in action. Not a good choice of what to eat. Since I think the commercial is only in the USA I can assure you potatoes , cabbage , carrots and chicken drumsticks are pretty cheap and much healthier for dinner lunch or breakfast.
Cereal is pretty much one of the worst food choices y ou can do on a regular basis.

Yeah I agree. For worst case scenario like nuclear winter 😅 cereal is good but if we still have choices then it is of course not an option. My family own a small piece of agricultural land which we cultivated for years and we are able to get good harvest from there like corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes, bell pepper, banana, coconut, pineapple, cassava and I also have my free range chickens in there so no need to buy food incase.

What I thought of immediately when I read this is that it's all about making changes to your diet. Having breakfast food that contains a lot of sugar seems not natural for the body and I always thought of Kellogg, the one with the sweet ones, right? But maybe they have those healthy types of things if you were to consume them.
It promotes a different thing for me. It's becoming somewhat laziness in terms of preparing dinner and the one where it's not ideal.
Well, since we are in the economic section, it's really up to the point where people have a hard time buying food to eat so instead rely on that cheaper. I have seen people rely on drugs, so it's better to eat cereals then.

people are getting lazy though. this must add to the element where parents finds it easier to just serve cereal and are saving their money. although we can see why Kellogs CEO promotes it this way is because they also want to push their product to the people even in the evening.
i think they also have oatmeal.
there are just families who couldn't afford to get their kids to eat cereal before going to bed. porridge can be cheaper actually, all they need is just rice, water and some spices. i wouldn't mind eating porridge every night than cereal.

This sounds a pretty free advertisement for Kellogs lol ;D
kidding aside , I find it normal when you are out of choice to eat whatever is available ,this is no different from a person who eats the cheapest food because he is planning better for the future and when His plan is done then that is the moment that he will spend more funds in luxurious foods.
sometimes we need to tighten our belts to not feel hungry , but that does not mean this will be forever .
accept what is in the table for now but do everything for this not to be a permanent situation.

"would you bring this up to your family to eat cereal at dinner?
Yes I will, if there is nothing to eat I came bring cereal for my family to eat as dinner base and the economic situation of the country. And someone who is very hungry have no choice of food, so eating cereal for dinner under this economic crisis to me it's okay.

This is what every health experts advice us to take in before going to bed, your dinner is supposed to be a light meal, consuming heavy foods might not be properly broken or digested at night which may likely cause some complications. But in a country like Nigeria where the economic situation is terrible you can only eat what is available not minding the fact that it might be harmful, you can't tell someone that's starving to take carbs or protein at night if that's the only option available. In order for you to start adopting a proper diet you must have something doing that gives you money otherwise you just have to settle for whatever is available

Well yeah we are on the same situation and we don't really mind what experts are saying about healthy and proper foods to eat at dinner here in my country we eat heavy meal all the time and that is part of our culture but me personally I practice eating only two meals a day so yeah less expenses. 😅 But with that cereal thing since we eat heavy meals I think that isn't enough unfortunately in an emergency situation maybe enough is enough depending on our discipline.
-
The way the economy of the world is, people should learn how to eat what is available to their reach, and what they can afford as food. Time has passed when someone will be having different selection of food of what to eat. This time around, is to eat what you can afford. If it is cereal, go for it as something to have for your dinner or family dinner.
-
but anyway would you bring this up to your family to eat cereal at dinner?
As long as my financial condition is good, I won't be doing that because for me my family's nutrition and health is very important and that's why only allowing them to eat cereal for dinner would not be a good choice.
We often have different menu options at dinner time, at least twice to thrice we have some kind of meat at the menu even at dinner time. Most often it's either chicken which most people prefer or mutton which I personally prefer. And, only few days we may have lentils and vegetables at dinner time.
I won't say that we don't have rice at dinner time because once in a week, or sometimes twice we go for rice only dinner. But, there are many added things in that rice, like Potatoes, chicken, sometimes mutton. However, only in rare occasions we have simple rice dish in dinner.

I can eat cereal for dinner if I need to save some money, but I really don’t want to serve it to my family. I want them to have healthy food. I know times are tough, and we sometimes have to make do with what we can afford. But I still think it’s important to find ways to make meals that are filling and good for us, even if it takes a little creativity with our budget. Everyone deserves to sit down and enjoy a meal that is healthy.

Yeah same here, I had rather eat it myself than letting my family it cereals for dinner though if they wanted to then why not but if it is not necessary then no. It can only be eaten if there is food shortage or some sort of emergency but if there is another choice then I don't think I am gonna eat that as well.
-
I eat oats for breakfast, they are easy to make and keep me full for good time, so if I feel merely lazy than anything to do with economic situation, I would still make oats for dinner too.
By the way, I am seeing comments above implying cereals as not so good food option, why is that?

When eating cereal is only your last option, you certainly have more options before you will pick cereal for the night. When you are from a country that's abundant of food and don't even earn the Mackerel fish because you only use them for bait then you are lucky enough have been born in such country.
For countries in recession where parents struggle to pay their rent and electricity bill, they might be eating cereals especially the kids who also prefers it and don't eat veggies.

diabetes.
almost every cereal has far too many carbs.
shredded whole wheat has no sugar but it is all carb.
your body will turn the carb into sugar and hurt you.
there are a few cereals
steel cut oats are okay if you have good sugar levels.
poop like a champion works for diabetics as it is loaded with fiber.

you can add fresh fruit like blueberry 🫐 or banana

I use plain rolled oats, anyhow I read that all three types of oats (instant/rolled/steel cut) have pretty much same amount of nutrients, all they differ is in cooking time.
Pooplikeachampion is not available where I live. Hilarious name though xD
I add nuts and dried fruits (almond/cashew/raisin/dates) to the mix.

My wife gets passed off when I breakout the cereal and sing out " poop like a champion "
BTW it does the job.
Plain oats are the best of the grains. If you are not predisposed to diabetes and add decent items like nuts figs dates they are okay.

if you are on a budget instant oats honestly is enough just put a few of other things personally am not a fan of oats but in my country we add milk and sugar in it (which in hindsight might not be the healthiest choice) i have also tried adding some bananas and peanut butter
Pooplikeachampion is not available where I live. Hilarious name though xD
so this really is a real name?? lol couldn’t they have thought of something better more appealing perhaps? haha

I also add sugar, otherwise oats taste bland, 1 table spoon shouldn't be that harmful I like to think. I would add milk if I wasn't trying to go vegan, and vegan substitute for milk is in process.
I don't like taste of peanut butter, fruits work fine.

Interesting topic. I personally have no problem with cereals for dinner as long as it comes with fruits and milk (almond preferably) but that could be more expensive than the white rice + egg and/or frozen food combo. If the goal is to save because of a tight budget, cereal might not be the ideal food for us Asians.

this issue is in US where cereal company promotes their cereal for dinner. this is sort of an answer to those who are tight in budget.
my cousins in US are talking about this as well in the chat its quite amusing but somehow because they are tight in budget, my cousins actually tried eating cereals in dining ;D one of them feels like they just starting the day.
the slums in my country has the worse solution like the one we call "Papag" you gotta have the stomach to eat it but for anyone who has nothing. it will be save them. Asians or wherever we are, or the people in Gaza, the scarcity of food is real.

The most terrible thing is that the economy has become more stiffer that what it used to be, As cheap and noodles and the rolls can be, it is becoming increasingly difficult for some people to afford.
Hungry citizens can consider to be involved in any sort of criminal act, this is why in countries where there is a high rate of hunger, there is also a high crime rate.
-
I also add sugar, otherwise oats taste bland, 1 table spoon shouldn't be that harmful I like to think.
one table spoon of sugar can’t be that bad being healthy and nutritious should not mean eating bad food it won’t be sustainable if you don’t like your diet and you are dreading to eat the food make your meals appealing and balanced at the same time it can coexist
I would add milk if I wasn't trying to go vegan, and vegan substitute for milk is in process.
soy milk is made of ground legumes so it is vegan friendly have you tried this? i like soy milk even if i ak not vegan it taste good and has some benefits as well compared to normal milk

I have tried soya milk (albeit from soy milk powder), it's smell is instant put-off for me.

high crime rate is also an indicator to see how bad the economy of country. its not surprising anymore as i'm from 3rd world country where motorcycle robbery is common. men are going to do the worse so they can provide for their family and if robbing is an option so they can feed their family, they will rob. and cereal might not be the solution for them especially because its not the usual food to eat in dinner.
this is why i would rather be living close to a farming or fishing community. food can be easy to find unlike when you are in city where people doesn't know each other.

It's not a bad choice for one to have cereal as dinner once in a while, not always, though. Cereal is one of the fastest and sweetest meals to have for the family, and kinda affordable and quick to prepare for the family.
I remember when I was growing up at a young age, cereal foods were what my parents liked preparing for me to have as dinner. I was adding in weight because of that, due to the plenty of milk added to the cereal for me to take. Now that have grown old, I don't fancy taking cereal as a meal to avoid diabetes in old age

your parents let you eat cereal for dinner even before this recession and it makes you fatter? that's the darnest comments i read today. if it just could make me last 8 hours of having cereal in the morning i would have tried it everyday. the easiest for me is the cap noodle.
well there you are folks, when you need get getting, easy solution without having to hire a nutritionist. if there really is benefit in eating cereal in dinner, its parents not having to cook something like avoiding the laborious preparation from spices to putting them inside the oven down to the platter.

Having cereal for dinner occasionally is fine especially when you need something quick and easy. It can bring back fond childhood memories. However eating cereal every night is not ideal especially if you are monitoring your weight or managing health issues like diabetes. To make cereal healthier option choose whole grain types like Uncle Sam or Quaker Oats and add nuts and seeds and yogurt and milk or fresh fruits to boost protein fiber and nutrients. This way you can enjoy cereal while taking care of your health.

Yeah, having cereal for dinner sometimes is fine, especially when you're busy or want something quick. It can even remind you of being a kid! But eating it all the time isn’t the best if you’re trying to stay healthy or watch your weight.

Cereals are artificial food full of sugar like some other donuts made in a factory run by conveyors. Although its occasionally fine, it will make you get used to it since you will realize there is something to eat even if you don't prepare dinner.
This kind of suggestion from the cereal company itself is like an indication that people are really doing this due to financial struggle since there is economic crisis. They introduce a solution but its also going to destroy your health.
-
Cereal for dinner sounds like a great idea—sometimes you just need something quick and satisfying! I love mixing my cereal with a non-dairy milk option, and I’ve recently been using coconut milk powder.
Yeah but if it was consumed every day then that would be not good but better than nothing. If fruits are available it can be mixed with it to add more nutrients and taste. I've seen something like this situation in the frontlines of war in Ukraine wherein soldiers utilize what is available on their supplies like canned goods, chocolates, biscuits and oatmeals especially if their MRE's are all consumed and they are still in the middle of the battlefield. To survive on whatever crisis we are in, we eat whatever we see that are edible.

Cereals on their own are not loaded with sugar or additives/preservatives for that matter, but companies do produce those 'tasty' ones and if one wants they can purchase. You can purchase raw cereals if you are not can of processed ones.

if there is nothing else a family can afford i guess the cereal will do. they get used to it being their dinner once they tried it 2 times or 3. sad story but if there is nothing else to eat, its just the only option.
but of course there are options out there. if they only know how Asians eat and how they farm rice just so they can sustain daily meals. For westerners, stew whichever the meat and bread can always be a good pair.
-
Eating cereal for dinner is not something to argue over, because if there is no choice at that point, due to economic circumstances you can have cereal for dinner, because is is quite affordable and it is light also.
On point, for me, I prefer taking snacks such as cereal, chips or tea, as far as it won’t take me long to prepare because most at times I don feel very tired at evening or night, that I might not have enough energy to prepare any food, Instead I will look for something light and eat and also it’s even cheaper, one can easily afford it at a very low price and a much faster to prepare.

Cereals are very light are best for dinners. This is because when one is going to bed it is expected that one stay clear from heavy food because it tends to dulls and weaken the body the following day. Medically, eating of heavy food is not recommendable because the food may not easily digest before one goes to bed. With this said eating of light food like cereals is not bad

My child used to eat cereals for dinner (not because we are in short for money, but if that is what child wants to eat, why not? its not an every day dinner meal in the end) but it does not end good, because in few hours child is hungry again, but because it is considered as dinner, my child prefer to take snacks and sweets before night sleep, instead of eating proper food.
Cereals are light, but are digested fast, and cereals are totally not enough to wait 10-12 hours before breakfast. For me cereals are more like snacks than a proper dinner, lunch or breakfast. It is only something that you might take if you are really hungry and cant wait for a proper meal.
Dont forget that not everyone eats plain cereals, like default Kellogs Corn flakes. People prefer to eat cereals with cinnamon, sugar, chocolate flavors and additions, etc. Its a lot of sugar. So its a portion of sugar after which you will still be hungry shortly for dinner. Think about it.

This. Since here in my country most of us prefer heavy meals I know few people will survive only eating cereals which is for me considered as snacks as well. I am not a kid anymore so I need foods with more energy that is also makes my tummy comfortable until the next meal. It seems my little pets inside me will complain of starvation. 😅

Cereals are very light are best for dinners. This is because when one is going to bed it is expected that one stay clear from heavy food because it tends to dulls and weaken the body the following day. Medically, eating of heavy food is not recommendable because the food may not easily digest before one goes to bed. With this said eating of light food like cereals is not bad

What cereal your child eats, if I may ask? I eat oats regularly in mornings and they keep me full till long time.

I have not tried corn flakes, but I always figured from their looks that they would not be filling.

Are these synthetic foods even healthy? I am not a fan of eating this kinda food everyday though I have tried it before when I was a kid but I am wondering if those nutrients we got are legit or just gimmick? I don't personally eat breakfast that is why this isn't an option for me.

I don't think it's enough, yeas I understand that economic struggles can be hard sometimes but do we really need to focus on the meal for the cost saving? Why not other things like we do for things that is unnecessary like on fuel that we can walk, living in high-rent place, and such.

At least in terms of oats — synthetic and raw both options are available. I also don't like synthetic ones due to weird INS stuff they add, I just don't think it's good for us, so I stick to raw.
Regarding nutrients, I stick to body response after eating, you know particular food is bad when you feel weird after eating it.

"would you bring this up to your family to eat cereal at dinner?
Yes I will, if there is nothing to eat I came bring cereal for my family to eat as dinner base and the economic situation of the country. And someone who is very hungry have no choice of food, so eating cereal for dinner under this economic crisis to me it's okay.
That's true, they say' when the desirable is not availability, the available becomes the desirable' this saying also applies in foods, if what one want to eat is not available at the moment, they should go ahead and eat whatever food that is available, so that they won't fall sick due to lack of food. So even if its cereal that you have in your to eat for the dinner, u can eat it, although there are some people who likes taking cereal almost every day as their meals without getting tired.
