Jimmy Dean Chocolate Chip Pancakes & Sausage on a Stick

Filed in archive Fun for the kids on September 30, 2006

I always make sure that my son eats breakfast before he goes to school. My growing boy needs his energy boost early in the morning so he can focus and be active while in school.

Of course, it is best to serve a nutritious meal for breakfast. From time to time, however, I do spoil him and let him have something which others may disapprove of.

And today, I saw yet another product which I could add to my list of "spoil my son" breakfast food... Pancakes and Sausage on a Stick - chocolate chip Flavor!

Looks a lot like a big calorie bomb.

Note that I do not plan on serving this every day.

Wow, your such a great Mom spoiling your "growing" kid with this trans-fat filled garbage. Just think, you're giving him a head start on obesity and heart disease. Way to show your love, you moron.

Oh great advice on the parenting weblog. Give your children this glorified corn syrup turd. When I saw this product I thought it was a joke. That it exists is troubling. That someone recommends it on a parenting site is evil.

Yes, those are pure junk, but they're not as bad as they sound. Here's some nutritional data:

http://www.dietfacts.com/html/nutrition-facts/jimmy-dean-pancakes-and-
sausage-on-a-stick-chocolate-chip-flavored-pancake-wrapped-around-a-sa
45296.htm

They are very heavy on fat, but are only 220 calories per pancake/sausage/stick/thingie.

220 calories is the equivalent of about four oreo cookies. Your kid isn't going to get fat from just one of these every now and then. In fact, fat tends to be more filling than sugar so while your kid might want more oreo cookies immediately, one of these might just fill him up. (Fat chance, I know.) A smaller sugar rush is also an added bonus.

These things are no substitute for a proper meal. They're a junk-food snack. However, they're not going to turn your kid into a lard-bucket all by themselves, not that you could tell from the histrionics from the above posters.

I am lollin' @ the trollin'
here. Eating a dong on a stick once every few weeks isn't going to give you AIDS or anything, no matter how many trans-fats it contains.

I think it's almost as alarming that you would think this tastes good. And to think I kick myself for giving our kids toast, fruit, and milk for breakfast on occasion. Thanks for making me feel better.

Serious? Would you really give this to a child?

Response from: Ches Skween (01/27/07 7:11am)

I understood that you're originally from Germany. Well, that kind of explains pretty much everything...

I am scare to even read this, kids should be forbidden these products, they are simply toxic and they also should be illegal.

Response from: SD (01/09/08 2:18pm)

Pancakes & Sausage on a stick contains 0 Trans fat. It does however contain 13g, or about half it's 220 calories from other fats, 4g being saturated. As an occasional breakfast treat, I think they taste great.

Wow there have been some horrible responses to this. I think it's okay to give your kids a treat every once in a while. The only reason that things like diabetes and heart disease occur is from an EXCESS of consumption. "Junk food" is only dangerous if you're eating it every day for breakfast lunch and dinner. Otherwise it's all food. It's all fuel for your body. People think that your diet has to be bland and unexciting in order to be healthy. I feel sorry for all of you that never splurge and have a bit of fun with your food every once in a while. I ate these as a kid and I recently purchased some from the grocery store (nostalgia in a box). I'm a perfectly healthy 22 year old and I didn't get diabetes or suffer a heart attack. The dosage determines the poison folks.

A treat would be pancakes and waffles, preferably homemade, but its understandable to want to use the premade stuff because nowadays who has the time to cook! I'd lay off of Jimmy Dean's corn dog in disguise, and redefine what a treat is. What good is having a treat occasionally when what we usually eat is a sugary cearal, so pumped up with food coloring it changes the color of the milk?
