Heavyweights

Later this week, the Food Network will be airing an episode of "Heavyweights" that focuses on the long-time competition between Kellogg's, General Mills and Post through the years. It will feature some interesting history and background to cereal manufacturing and marketing.

Of particular interest to me: A producer from the show contacted me several months back to discuss the idea and I provided some information and photos for them.

Consumer Reports does cereal

The September 2006 issue of Consumer Reports magazine includes a special section on cereal.

One of their observations is that many cereal knockoffs (i.e. lower priced alternatives to name-brand cereals) are about as good as their name-brand counterparts.

Health matters concerning cereal are also discussed, with suggestions on how to choose the best cereal.
