Hamburger Cereal?

Paula mentioned in passing that she had read about a hamburger cereal. I just shook my head, and then it really hit me: a hamburger cereal? I had to check it out. Turns out there is a “cereal” out there that contains 20 grams of protein from dehydrated ground beef per ½ cup serving.

The dried beef makes a crunchy texture. There are two flavors: Chocolate Peanut Butter and Maple Cinnamon. All natural ingredients with no preservatives or colors—just pour on the milk, preferably full-fat milk.

Except for one thing: this processed food is not a cereal. By definition, a cereal must be plant-based. We don’t need to argue the semantics of cereal, but here’s the most important thing: the product contains no fiber. You may get more protein, but why this way? I’ve heard this song before, and I’ll talk about it on Saturday.

What are you prepared to do today?
