anybody ever eat oats straight up?

just ate a packet of instant oatmeal dry (6/10 experience), was a genius idea, no doubt. but way too much sugar in the packet (no wonder americans are obese - even a healthy thing, instant oatmeal, has a **** ton of sugar in it), would have preferred no sugar - just the oats straight up.

anybody eat oats straight up? apparently I should drink a lot of water if I start doing this.

I think that oats straight up would be a good staple for #bankerlife, because bankers are so busy closing deals - need something easy to much on that doesn't start tasting worse if you don't eat it right away.

A packet of oatmeal has ~11 grams of sugar which is roughly half what an apple has. If you think this is a ton of sugar and the reason why people are obese, I'm at a loss for words.

I really hope you get a paper cut at work tomorrow.

 

Why wouldn't you take the extra minute and cook them in the microwave with water? Why wouldn't you just eat oats without sugar - or actually "straight up?" Why is this a thread?

A lot more people share my love for kpop than your strange obsession for eating oats "straight up," as you so eloquently put it.

Just look at the views this video gained in 24 hours:

1/2 cup rolled oats + 1/2 cup boiling water + bit of milk = breakfast every day. Cheap, healthy, and I enjoy it. Keeps me going almost to dinner time.
