Breakfast Candies

We have a pretty boring morning diet. We almost invariably eat muesli with yogurt. Muesli with milk would be fine. Muesli comprises of oats, perhaps another cereal and some dried fruit or nuts. We've been having some problems in the USA. We've searched all over the supermarkets and can't find anything matching this description. We've found things that look like muesli, but on closer inspection (i.e. by looking at the ingredients or by tasting) they are sweet as sin. I think I've gone through my life with breakfast being the most important meal of the day, and have become something of an expert on cereals. However, I'm beaten in the US. They are all bad. We have even tried Kellogs Special K Red Berries. In Europe this is really good. It contains dried strawberries and rasberries that have a sharp kick to them. In the USA they contain sugar coated berries. It seems that the rage is coating the fruit in "evaporated cane juice", I guess that's sugar cane juice and oh, just another way of writing sugar.

Captain Crunch Berries - a kind gift of Tom, Dennis and Mark. The dose of sugar and artificial colourings is enough to give a jolt of hyperactivity in the morning.
