I hate how sugary cereals are targeted and marketed it towards children. You are lucky you have the NuVal scoring. I wish some west coast stores would get on the ball. It would make shopping a lot easier for families. I loved reading this post. I hate how sugary cereals are targeted and marketed it towards children. You are lucky you have the NuVal scoring.

Why not ask them to find a cereal that scores around 90 - like shredded wheat - and teach them that cereal for kids is candy (and let them eat it when they would like some candy)? Think they won't eat it? Research shows that they will. It's a matter of what they get used to. Dina www.itsnotaboutnutrition.com Why set the bar so low for your kids?

I'm glad he found something. Is there any plan to have all NuVal scores available online? I know they're at my local price chopper but when I'm away from home on campus I can't find anywhere with those scores. That sounds like a great game. I’m glad he found something.

Right now the only way to see all the scores is on the supermarket shelf. NuVal is in 3 supermarket chains: Price Chopper, Hy-Vee and Meijer. NuVal is coming to United Texas chains in the first quarter of 2010. If you do not have NuVal in a chain near you, you can fill out a suggestion form on www.nuval.com. Kix gets a score of 29.

Last time my daughter and I shopped together, we chose Kix as our new cold cereal (we also use frosted mini wheats) because it had a relatively low percentage of sugar, by weight, than many of the other cereals (I think it was around 20%). She loves it! Just wondering how it compares, Nuval style, with frosted flakes and lucky charms, which count as treats (not a meal) in our house.

But I will now! I'm certain the rainbow colors will cause my kids' eyes to glaze over in delight. Never ever tried Fruity Cheerios. But I will now!

Eating by nutrient content is typically my gameplan, but companies don't label all of the nutrients in a food. Having a NuVal score right in front of me at the store will make shopping so much easier. Any hope that it will be coming to SC soon? I love this NuVal system.
