The book <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Twilight_(2008_film)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">was recently made into a movie<\/a> that has attracted to theaters a whole lot of teens and pedophiles.  I haven&#8217;t seen the movie or read the books, but I want to stay as far away from them as possible because I&#8217;m afraid of again getting sucked into reading books meant for kids under the age of 18.  The last time it happen, it started with Harry Potter and eventually ended up with me reading <i><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Are_You_There_God%3F_It%27s_Me,_Margaret\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Are You There God? It&#8217;s Me, Margaret<\/a><\/i> by Judy Blume, which caused me to occasionally chant out loud, &#8220;I must, I must, I must increase my bust.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As many of you know, though books. movies, and television shows, vampires hate sunshine, it&#8217;s like kryptonite and Superman, milk and the lactose intolerant or men and Lindsay Lohan.  The problem is that sunshine isn&#8217;t around 24 hours a day in most places and I need protection for those times when Helios, the Greek sun god, doesn&#8217;t have my back.  I&#8217;m hoping that Kashi Honey Sunshine Cereal can defend me from blood-sucking vampires and the money-sucking freight train of <i>Twilight<\/i>, but even if it does, I don&#8217;t know how much of this cereal I can take.<\/p>\n<p>While the cereal looks like Cap&#8217;n Crunch, it certainly doesn&#8217;t taste or have the same texture like Cap&#8217;n Crunch.  The box says the whole grain cereal has been kissed with honey, but after tasting it I was hoping it would&#8217;ve been French kissed with honey, because that might&#8217;ve given it the honey flavor that would&#8217;ve tickled my tongue and occasionally shoved down my throat.  But then again, I didn&#8217;t expect a super sweet cereal from the health-conscious Kashi.  <\/p>\n<p>Overall, for something that supposed to be good for you, it&#8217;s not bad.  But again, I don&#8217;t think I could eat this on a regular basis if I wanted to protect myself from vampires, which actually doesn&#8217;t matter since I just found out that the vampires in Twilight aren&#8217;t affected by sunlight.  I guess if I read the book, I would&#8217;ve known that.  So I&#8217;m going to go read the book now and if you happen to see a 30-something male sitting alone in a showing of <i>Twilight<\/i> surrounded by pubescent girls, there a chance that he&#8217;s not a pedophile, it could just be me.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 3\/4 cup &#8211; 100 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 125 milligrams of sodium, 70 milligrams of potassium, 25 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of fiber, 6 grams of sugar, 13 grams of other carbohydrates, and 2 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Kashi Honey Sunshine Cereal<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $3.99 (on sale)<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  12 ounces<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Safeway<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  It&#8217;s not bad.
