      To be fair that's probably an outdated mindset : in the past, 'people in need' were basically starving. Carbs are a cheap and plentiful source of calories, and oats are not the worst as they also have minerals and vitamins in them (assuming not overly processed) . And if a bowl of oats is your sole meal for the day, it's not going to make you fat.
      But today 'people in need' aren't actually starving, they can get plenty of calories, but it's all processed junk because that's the cheapest.

If the best a fellow low income person can do is a bowl of oats a day, we need to demand improvements to that dumb food pyramid. Suffering illnesses due to poverty caused food access is unacceptable.

    Ran into a friend the other day who had just put 2 large boxes of cheerios in his cart. I said don't you know those things contain glyphosate, and he said what do you mean? I said roundup toxins and he said I have eaten them for breakfast most of my life and I really enjoy them. He put them back with a sad look on his face like I had destroyed his dreams. I felt kinda bad about telling him that especially after he had lived to be 74 years old and was still kicking.

    Howdy Dr Berry,
    Just touching on the glysophate topic. As a broad acre farmer myself, i know the agriculture game fairly well seeing as i work 6 days a week in the industry.
    I personally farm wheat, barely, canola, faba beans, lentils, and most importantly oats…
    While your statements are technically correct. Yes in the US you CAN spray glyphosate on oats. Most do not, Glyphosate CAN be used as a tool to control certain weeds in crop close to harvesting, most crops are not sprayed, glyphosate is expensive and operating a sprayer is also expensive why would we use a expensive glyphosate product to ripen a crop when the sun does it for us for nothing?
    In my years farming i to this day do not know of anyone using glyphosate in a crop of oats. But technically yes we CAN use glyphosate legally. That doesnt mean that every oat crop is sprayed. Id even argue that a very low % of crops have the chemical applied
    Out of all the chemicals i use on the farm glyphosate is 100% by far the safest one used,
    The green veg in the shops are sprayed with far far more toxic chemicals prior to harvest.
    Yet no one jumps up and down complaining about that because of those chemicals arnt made by “monsanto”.
    Love the channel. Your video’s have been a big help to me! Cheers.

    I agree 100% I used to eat various cereals every morning for breakfast as a child. My mom learned about these facts that you are stating decades ago back in the 80s and when she did she stopped buying cheerios and other cereals that we loved. I wasn't happy about it. After that, she only bought oatmeal, puffed rice, and puffed wheat. When I got older and lived on my own I would buy and eat cereal for breakfast. I didn't eat fruity pebbles or captain crunch and other kids' cereals. I thought I was selecting healthy cereals for breakfast. It's quick and easy. No cooking involved. Great for a quick morning meal when you are getting ready for work and in a hurry to get out the door. I started buying cheerios again like an idiot believing that the front of the box says "heart-healthy" with a big loving heart on the front of the box. Years ago after doing research I discovered that my mom was right. All these statements you are making are absolutely true and almost all of the cereals on the store shelf are not healthy at all. Completely loaded with tons of sugar and chemicals. Not healthy at all.

    Back in the 80s & 90s we just didn't know or have the technology at our fingertips to figure out diet...Low Fat & Margarine were healthy...Finally understanding diet and fasting is a relief as opposed to a shot in the dark

    Still better than a bowl of Ben and Jerry's. I eat cherrios for desert with a banana when I'm craving sweets. Yummy

    Salted caramel pork rind cereal is super easy, when you wanna eat something light! Make sure to use A2 milk.

    I like the cereals that contain small amount of turpentine . Also lest not forget about caramel cherro squares mm more sugar
