Yayyy!

I have discovered Quaker 100% Natural Granola! This cereal contains NO trans fat, NO colesterol, only 1% sodium, and only 13% total carbohydrates. [ Per serving; serving size: 1/2 cup ] And the taste is, IMHO, terrific!

Ingredients: whole grain rolled oats, whole grain rolled wheat, brown sugar, raisins, coconut oil, nonfat dry milk, almonds, glycerin, whey, whey protein concentrate, honey, natural flavors, sunflower oil.

Yay for good old American capitalist ingenuity! [ cheers! ]

Funny, when I hear healthy granola I think "hippie", not "capitalist". :D

I like Weetabix.

Hey! This cereal wouldn't be available to me if not for capitalism, and perhaps not even exist! :p

WTF, over??

Quakers are pacifists though. I'm not sure I could trust their cereal.

I only like the flavoured kinds - the regular Weetabix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weetabix) not only looks like turds floating around in your cereal bowl, but also tastes like I imagine cardboard would.

I hear the Rice Crispies are planning a campaign to oust the Quakers and 'liberate' the oatmeal/granola.

I think it tastes great with Milk, and sometimes honey and/or bananas if I'm in the mood.

What else would you have it with? Yoghurt wouldn't manage to seep into them, and they are inedible on their own.

However, I understand the prisoners at Abu Gharib prefer Captain Crunch. :D

I disagree. I repeat, I like them with milk. That's it.

Richard Nixon was a Quaker.

Or maybe just married one...

Sounds like an Alien language.

"Dammit Jim, I cant read this! Its in Weetabix!"

I never eat breakfast, but if I did you can be damn sure it wouldn't be weetabix; they DO taste like cardboard. And yes I've had both :p

Pointless story:
Dr Kellogg, inventor of cornflakes, made the second ever breakfast cereal the world had ever seen, which he originally called Granola. Now, it may be possible that he thought there could be some small problem with this name - it may have niggled at the back of his mind for ages. The small problem was that the only other cereal in the world at that time was also called Granola. Yay for originality there, Dr Kellogg. He renamed his cereal 'Granula'.

Kellogg also invented peanut butter. He marketed it as an anti-masturbation health food.

Years of people straining to say something during black history month has taught us that George Washington Carver (http://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aa041897.htm) invented peanut butter.

That's anti-Michiganian propganda. Don't believe it.

My Mum always used to have butter on her weetabix.

Personally I prefer letting them sit in a small amount of milk until they've totally absorbed it - if you get just the right amount then they lose all crispyness without being particularly soggy (sort of like a really thick porridge).

When you can find me proof that he invented it, I'll believe you. It says nothing on that site about him inventing it, only 'popularising' it. Furthermore, here (http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blpeanutbutter.htm) it says that it was invented (as with so many things) by a number of people at around the same time, one of whom was Dr Kellogg.

Whoa... the US is finally discovering health food! :eek:
Nothing even remotely to do with "capitalist", however.

Also, peanut butter as a means against masturbation? No wonder I can't stand it! :D

I'm rather confused. I've been eating a nice tasting and healthy breakfast cereal for years now. It's called porridge.

Yay Caledonian ingenuity I suppose.
