It has been two days since the soy milk incident. I've managed to clean the blood, quinoa and grease from the walls. With any luck, the coconut milk will not devour as many first responders. Still, I've loaded my scattergun with dried pigs blood wax slugs and keep it close at hand.

For those of you in the Lake Ontario/Erie area, be prepared to run south at a moments notice.

Are these safe to share with my pets? They all start rattling their cages and howling whenever I pour a bowl and I feel really bad for leaving them out.

Yes. Feed the ancient grains to your animals. Do it as soon as is convenient for you. It is unkind to deny them a balanced breakfast.

As long as the times refuse to change, we're going to make a hell of a racket.
As I scrambled through the horrid place, with it's angles that went every which way and it's pallid green ambiance, I did happen upon a single bowl of cheerios, placed atop a waist-high pedestal with terrible, frightful creatures carved into it's base. They're alright but I wish there was some sugar to put on them.

Can someone come over to my place? The cherrios that I buried deep within my flesh are beginning to grow and they will need a new body to take over once they have depleted all of the nutrients I have to offer.

I am becoming one with the ancient grains. My only regret is that my wretched body cannot give more to my children.

Never tried them myself, but I brought along a little baggie full of them for my 1 year old on Sunday because he gets a little fussy during church.

As soon as we got to the threshold the priest ran out and physically barred me from entering and was just screaming at me to leave. I could barely understand him, he seemed hysterical. Weird cause he's always been a pretty nice guy.

Yeah you're definitely not the only one. I can recommend you some more ancient-grain-friendly churches if you need.

Well maybe "churches" isn't the right word, they're more like informal prayer groups. You do have to be flexible on denomination, though; personally I hadn't even heard of most of the prayers, ceremonies, or deities before I started going. Mine meets every Saturday afternoon in this neat little flex-space First Chanter Bill found in the sewers. You have to be careful not to get your robes wet on the way in, and it does get a little rank down there sometimes, but the overpowering odor of the grains is powerful enough that you don't even notice most of the time.

Man, protestants - this has to be the most unique version of the bible I've ever seen. At least, I think it's the bible, the other members of my informal non-denominational prayer group just call it 'the book'. I don't remember the bible having words that seem to twist themselves inside your mind and give you glimpses into unfathomable horrors every time you sleep, as well. Converting for the wife, she says that ancient grains changed her life.

Thanks but finding a new church is kind of low on my list of priorities right now. Ever since Sunday my son just sits at the kitchen table, holding a spoon in front of an empty bowl, silent and motionless. If I pick him up or move his chair he lets out this bloodcurdling scream. I tried putting him in time-out, but he kept the scream going for about 10 minutes without taking a breath so I brought him back to the table.

This is the first baby for the missus and I so I'm not sure if this is just a phase or what.

About a year ago, marketers at General Mills started noticing that food made with so-called “ancient grains”—quinoa, millet, spelt, and so on—was selling really well. “We had heard the term,” Alan Cunningham, a marketing manager in the cereal division, told me, but they hadn’t spent a lot of time researching the ingredients. They set out to learn more.

Alan Cunningham and his 'associates' have not been heard from since.

quote:

Ludwig, the Harvard professor, is skeptical of processed foods containing ancient grains. Puffing the ancient grains in Cheerios appears to represent “extensive processing,” he said, though it’s not as bad as some other types of processing, like [redacted]

There never was a "Ludwig".

Good advice, they loved them! I'm a bit worried though, the dog immediately started digging in the back yard and a few feet down shes hit some kind of spongey mass? I cant find the edges of it. I also thought it was so cute when the rats held the Os in their little hands but all the photos came out black, was really looking forward to sharing those.

Spare batteries are pretty key.
After weeks of stonewalling and circles, I finally gave up and drove to Minneapolis, and ambushed Ken Powell outside the bank. I'd been trying to find out who was on the team that developed the cereal I've become afraid to write the name of. And what really happened at the focus group.

He seemed relieved when I introduced myself as a journalist, absolutely eager to get back to my car. But it was almost as if he couldn't say anything but pleasantries. He'd start to stutter: bah bah bah bah bah whenever he tried to answer a pointed question.

Ken disappeared while I was getting the car started - I have a battery disconnect from living in Detroit. But he did press a funny silver keychain/necklace thing into my hand while we were going up the parking garage stairwell. I'd like to post a picture of it but my phone is freaking out right now.
