Dear teacher,
Erica, who is such a fan of Trix that she plans to have a denim jacket airbrushed with the logo, said that cereal was sometimes the centerpiece at get-togethers with friends. "When I go to my friends' houses, we sit around and eat cereal - that's what we do," she said.
Many nutritionists caution against eating large amounts of breakfast cereal and some criticize colleges for making it available for lunch and dinner. Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition and food studies at New York University, said that breakfast cereals marketed to children offered "an excuse to eat candy."
