Cereal Killing for Gorilla warfare: Food rant

[sarmonster]

No, really, I love this stuff. Look at the ingredients for chrissake:
Organic corn meal, organic evaporated cane juice, sea salt.

I shouldn't pick on Kix, it's probably one of the better cereals out there, it's just the closest equivalent I know of to Gorilla Munch; Kix are not quite as as sweet, but have the same shape and crunchiness: corn

Shelf longevity and overall cost cutting of the manufacturing of units.

Yes. Re. shelf longevity, after watching a roommate's Target-brand wonderbread sit on the countertop, bag open, for four months without any perceivable change, I decided that I should try to eat foods that actually *will* go bad, because that's what *real* food does.

Yes! I understand stockpiling to some degree, but it's amazing how much your grocery bill goes down when you only buy stuff you actually plan on using.

Anyway, a little fungus among us once in awhile is good for ya, right?

It is. See: yogurt. And tempeh and sprouted grains. Also, kids who eat dirt, lick the school bus floor, etc. because they rarely get sick.

Salt actually helps your body use the water and electrolytes. The recipe for homemade pediacare, basically gatorade for children contains salt. That's why when you need to be in the hospital you get saline instead of straight water in an IV.

[sarmonster]

Yeah, but there's a limit and gatorade crosses it. Remeber we were also told to never ever drink seawater?
There's sodium citrate in there as well.

Molasses is awesome in coffee as your sweetener.

I suppose beer IS the answer.

Yes, yes it is. Ummm, Beeeeeer.
