Me and my Cheerios

We all had cereal, but what we talked about were eggs. My dad thought they'd be just fine — he'd had farm-fresh eggs when he was a kid and said they were delicious. My mother, though, couldn't get past the idea that she might be cracking open a dead chick, and pretty soon discussion turned to the role of the rooster — something me and my Cheerios could've done without.

What's the meaning of the underlined part?

OK, I see. the speaker is saying that he could eat his cereal without listening to it because the topic is nothing to do with him.

Thank you very much!
