I am afraid to eat corn pops?

I love those delightful little nuggets of cereal, but whenever I go to eat a bowl I feel guilty and like a horrible person. I don't want to take away their lives or destroy their families, so instead of eating them I pour them into a cardboard box where I have set up little houses for them to live. I even have a little croquet set for them! I know this is not normal, but I just can't seem to get myself to be able to eat them. What should I do?
