Breakfast ,what’s good?

[Bob Riebe]

   How we as free Americans can differ..and that's good..  I doubt I have bought more than 2 boxes of such cereal over the last 40 years..

I grew up with breakfast cereal, both dry and cooked.

We Always had boxes of breakfast cereal.
Sad thing is , as simple as it is too make I am getting too lazy to cook up hot cereal and I used to eat the equivalent of 4 servings, myself, when I made it.
At that, my father grew up with Oatmeal, and other hot cereals when he was on the farm, way back in the twenties.

Today I got up at Seven Thirty and when I got down stairs there was a plate of scrambled eggs and coffee.

An interesting side note on breakfast cereals.

  Back in the 1930s nand 1940s, there was a body buildre/healty life promoter named Bernarr McFaddan.  He had an institute at Dansville, NY,
   In the Finger Lakes country.
  He of course, taught a healthy way of living, bringing unhealthy people to his institute, and hopefully..or usually, restoring their health.

  THey had a special recipe for brteakfast cereal, wherein they would take a concoction of natural grains, grind them finely..adding other nutrients.
   Then they would moisten them thoroughy, roll them very thin and bake them on sheets in an oven, then remove from oven, crumble into fine bits
   and serve as breakfast.

  It is said, that a visitor came one day, from a cereal company in Battle Creek, or some other such place, to observe the health clinic..

  He went back home, and soon "Grape Nuts" was introduced..

  Of course, Grape Nuts is much like "Christian Science".   ...It's not grapes, nor is it nuts....

Today I had cheese sandwiches and very strong coffee.
