I’m sure you could scarf down an entire party size bag of Doritos on your own as well. That doesn’t make it a good or preferred source of nutrition.
Try asking the kid if he can routinely scarf down a dozen eggs every morning. He won’t, unless he’s the size of Andre The Giant, because that’s actual food that will correctly signal satiety.
Anyways I assume the story is referring to the industrial sludge Americans call “breakfast cereal”, garbage that is designed to be addictive. And not, say, some kind of ancestral Kashi type of thing.
If it were actual food, you wouldn’t be able to eat so much of it. Nothing in nature would have been easily available in industrial quantities like that, making it extremely unlikely we evolved to eat so much of it. It’s engineered to be that way.
I could eat an entire fucking box of plain “corn flakes” if you let me when I was 16. No sugar, no milk. Was some store brand knock off cereal too. Didn’t even have added sugar. Was basically cardboard flakes.
But fuck did I love them. I miss those shitty ass cereals now everything has a pound of added sugar ):
