i also remember that fruity pebbles were a huge treat for me as a kid. only had them a few times - my mom didn't like to buy candy-ish cereals. i vividly remember having a box of fruity pebbles at my dad's house (my sister and i stayed with him on weekends). the texture of them, the density, is just so satisfying. and now that i've relearned how damn filling they are, and really no worse than healthier-looking cereals (i.e. not all colors of the rainbow) i feel like one bowl is going to be a nice occasional dessert. certainly no worse than chocolate sorbet.
when i bought them last night (i was just buying the cereal and cat food - and i'd just gone there for the cat food) the check-out guy started laughing. 'fruity pebbles?' he said. i laughed too. turns out his objection wasn't that i'm a 22-year-old buying kids food, but that 'they get soggy too quick.' guess he doesn't know how i devour them. 
kate, in terms of your cereal cravings, i think that if you think your body can handle the flour, go for it! maybe try just a bit, going off of how the potato sits. they're satisfying in such a different way from veggies, and not at all a *bad* food that you need to feel guilty about. if your body can handle it, there's *nothing* you should feel you need to deprive yourself of.
