I remember the 90's "part of this complete breakfast" was cereal, toast, and a glass of orange juice, and my parents thought they were eating healthy. I think people are just more aware now.

I mean a bowl of Cheerios, whole wheat toast, orange juice, and a banana is what I had every morning before school. I would consider it a pretty healthy breakfast, even by today's standards. I guarantee you most people eat much worse than that.

It's definitely better than pop tarts and chocolate milk but I still wouldn't consider that healthy. Switch the juice for water and cheerios for a source of protein and it would be much better

> bowl of Cheerios

carbs and added sugar

>whole wheat toast

better but still carbs

>orange juice

glass of sugar without fiber

>a banana

better than juice and added sugar, but still natural sugars.

That's big old pile of carbs. There's no fat and little proteins, only in the milk, which will have even more sugar.
