But as much as I know, one of the great ironies of being a metabolic scientist

and yet a fallible human with bad habits sometimes is that evening time is still my weakest time of the day.

And my kids think that I'm the best dad in the world and I want them to be healthy and I don't really bring a lot of cereal into the home.

I make breakfast for the kids every morning for the most part.

And it's a mix of various meals that I make.

And they think, wow, my dad just loves me so much.

Yes, I do.

I love you all my little darling babies.

But I do it because I don't want cereal in the home.

Because if there's cereal in the home, daddy is a meth addict.

when it comes to cereal.

And if it's there, as much as I know, I will go through this process

I can almost script it out where I'll help get the kids to bed.

I'll clean the house, straighten things up, and then everything's quiet.

And then I think, I need six bowls of cereal right now.

And so then I will eat myself sick.

And like a true addict, I will tell myself, I'll just have one bowl.

What's the problem with one bowl?

And then yet there's this little shoulder angel telling me, oh, but you know you're not going to stop at one bowl.

But then there's the addiction side of me saying, yeah, I am.
