Count your Lucky Stars… they are back!

Since the late 90’s they have only been available at Selfridges, speciality food stores or as gifts from overseas relatives, but it appears that my childhood favourite cereal is now back on our local supermarket shelves. I found these in Tesco, Sudbury branch, which had dedicated a fair few shelves to a vast array of American candies, cereals, snacks and drinks. It appears you can now by chocolate Lucky Charms, Lucky Charms cereal bars and even the Three Musketeers chocolate bar that I have only ever come across on the TV show Friends. I was immediately excited by all these foreign offerings but is it such a good idea to introduce more unhealthy cereals into our already sugar saturated market? Probably not, however seeing as we are being encouraged to have Nutella for breakfast because it contains ‘two whole hazelnuts’ and some milk it will take more than cutting out sugary cereals to solve our obesity problems! Maybe one bowl a week or on special occasions might be ok, but at £5 a box – are they worth it?!

(Of course, my answer is yes!)
