My doctor said I need to eat more bran, so I tried some cereals that were designed to have lots of fiber. They really don't taste very good, though. I like something sweeter in the morning, like Lucky Charms or something like that. Of course now the prices on those cereals are going way up, so it's harder and harder to justify that purchase. So instead, I buy the cheap knockoff brand in the bag on the bottom shelf. I think it's called Marshmallow Mateys. It taste the same really, I just close my eyes. I would have thought that a marshmallow cereal's price wouldn't be affected by increased global consumptions of corn, but it turns out corn is in just about everything - even meats, due to the usage of corn in livestock feed, or in high fructose corn syrup. I used to work with a guy who was allergic to high fructose corn syrup and he couldn't eat almost EVERYTHING at the store. He had to go to Whole Foods and buy special produce and foreign foods that didn't have it in there. He liked Asian food a lot. One time he and I went to a Vietnemese restaurant and I got this noodle-bowl thing for, like three dollars. It was the size of a punch bowl! It was a really great deal for the price, with lots of fish a veggies and stuff in it.
So anyway, no, I don't like bran.
