Cheerios and rice krispies both have added sugar(yes UK versions). Shredded wheat is better but all three are still a very carb heavy meal, even with milk.

Added sugar isn't immediately unhealthy. And according to their labels it's not enough sugar for me to be concerned with at all.

Honey or jam on toast would contain more sugar than a bowl of rice krispies.

Carbohydrates are also not unhealthy so I'm going to completely disregard that last statement.
