Is that so much to ask? "Simplify, simplify," urged Mr. Thoreau. I will start at breakfast. A very good place to start. Do I need seven grains, ten grains, clusters, bunches, shapes, marshmallows, fiber pellets, value added cereal? Now with quadrotriticale! What was wrong with corn flakes?
I like corn flakes. So I go to the grocery and start reading the ingredients. The list is a lot shorter than on some other boxes, but one thing jumps out at me. High fructose corn syrup. It's a sweetener that I'm trying to avoid. The famous brand has it. It's competitor has it. Even the store brand has it. When did they put that crud in my corn flakes?
And then I go to Trader Joe's. Good old Trader Joe's. Joe has his brand of corn flakes. I read the box. No high fructose corn syrup.
So I'm eating corn flakes for breakfast. A simple thing, but it makes me happy.
