Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Gold. $4.29 per 16.9-ounce box. Bonnie: Regular readers of this column know of my disdain for sugary children's cereals, especially those with little to no fiber. That said, I'd like to commend Kellogg's for its pledge made late last year to reformulate its products marketed to children under 12 to meet its "Global Nutrient Criteria" by the end of 2008 or else no longer market these cereals to kids. The criteria specifies that a serving of any of Kellogg's kids' products will contain less than or equal to 200 calories, 2 grams of saturated fat, zero grams of trans fat, 230 milligrams of sodium, and 12 grams of labeled sugar (actually up to 12.4 grams by FDA rounding rules). Kellogg's new Frosted Flakes Gold meets those criteria, and it contains 3 grams of fiber ...
Perky O's. Original, Frosted, and Apple Cinnamon. $4.89 per 9.3- ounce to 10.4-ounce box. Bonnie: Now there's a tasty breakfast cereal for kids and grown-ups with celiac disease and food allergies or intolerances. Perky-O's is a line of three O-shaped cereals made without gluten, dairy, nuts or eggs. The cereals provide 120-140 calories, with 2 to 3 grams of fiber and a very modest 2 to 8 grams of sugar. The natural apple-flavored Apple Cinnamon tastes best.
Weight Watchers Cereals. Flakes 'n Fiber, Vanilla Puffed Wheat, Banana Almond Medley, Honey Almond Crisp and Cinnamon Cluster Crunch. $3.59 per 10- to 14-ounce box. Bonnie: I wonder if I'll ever learn not to immediately judge a new food product by its box. You see, I mentally gave high marks to this new line of Weight Watchers cereals based on their Nutrition Facts panels. The cereals are all moderate in calories, sugars and fat, and extremely high in fiber, with up to 10 grams in a serving.

You need both types of fiber, so aim to eat many different fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains throughout your day. Eat fruits and vegetables with their skins for extra fiber. Focus on whole grains like oatmeal, bran cereals, brown rice, millet and barley. You can also find 100 percent whole grain breads and pastas at many supermarkets. Even with these changes, you may still have trouble meeting your fiber intake goals, so taking a product that contains both soluble and insoluble fiber, such as Herbalife's Active Fiber Complex (www.herbalife.com), can help you get the maximum benefit that fibers provide.

This final rule updates the meal patterns and nutrition standards for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs to align them with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. This rule requires most schools to increase the availability of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free and low-fat fluid milk in school meals; reduce the levels of sodium, saturated fat and trans fat in meals; and meet the nutrition needs of school children within their calorie requirements. These improvements to the school meal programs, largely based on recommendations made by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, are expected to enhance the diet and health of school children, and help mitigate the childhood obesity trend.

Toucan Sam has repented! Dig'Em Frog has seen the light! The sugary mascots of America's breakfast cereals, under fire from Nutrition Action and other advocacy groups, are preaching a new gospel. Good source of vitamin D" proclaims the box of Kellogg's Honey Smacks. "Good source of fiber & made with whole grain" says the Froot Loops box.
General Mills Peanut Butter Toast Crunch Cereal. $3.89 per 15.3- ounce box. Bonnie: Peanut butter lovers will enjoy this new Peanut Butter Toast Crunch Cereal with every bite redolent of their favorite nut butter. Although I prefer cereals containing more fiber (this contains a mere 1 gram, vs. my minimum recommendation of 2.5 to 5 grams), this would make a nutritious afternoon snack for kids, certainly compared to cookies, cake or candy. In fact, it's about as nutritious as peanut butter on whole wheat toast with a glass of milk.
