Yeah, leafy greens and legumes are good because there’s a bunch of extra vitamins.
Oatmeal (especially fortified) has a bunch of other stuff tho.
Like, don’t literally only eat a few things. Anything high in fiber keeps you full for a long time.
Especially for the dudes, eating fiber is a very easy preventative measure for colo-rectal cancer. And it’s hard to look at the correlation between modern low fiber high processed food diets and the skyrocketing rates of colo-rectal cancer and say there’s zero correlation.
But convincing people to eat fiber gets a weird amount of opposition
Oats are very much a thing in the US. Quite common. Stores sell rolled oats, steel cut oats and sugary packaged oats. The trick is buying the rolled/steel cut and not the packaged sugar garbage.

I usually get rolled oats. Not sure if oatmeal is an American thing, I don’t think it’s common here? I have never heard of it anyway.
Here you usually get plain rolled oats or ultra processed instant porridge in various forms of packaging.
